Stalker was amused and amazed at the editorial in the Mushroom Business magazine edition 32 December 2008.
Following the Dutch governments ban on magic mushrooms late last year, the editor managed to take a swipe at the policy for being wrong headed and politically motivated.
It just goes to show how the cultural differences between Europeans add to the rich tapestry of the Union.
Ireland banned the magic mushrooms in much the same circumstances a few years back.
With less of a culture of tolerance towards niche drug taking activities, an editorial on the subject would probably bring the wrath of the righteous pouring down on one’s head.
As The Biz editor noted, a ban on the most destructive of drugs in society, the demon drink, is never ever contemplated.
This debate on drugs and their place in society will run and run.
