The Dutch are apparently fed up with tourists coming to Amsterdam and freaking out on the buffet of free drugs, specifically on fresh hallucinogenic mushrooms. It seems that there have been a number of incidents where shroom fueled tourists, not in the best frame of mind for judging their ability to fly, have leaped from high windows and bridges to their own detriment. Dutch fans of the fungus are up in arms over having to pay the price of the damage caused by a few novice tourists who should have remained better grounded on their first flight.
Protesters turned out on Amsterdam's central Dam Square on Saturday, hoping to stop the government from banning magic mushrooms and asking to "save the 'shrooms."
Carrying banners reading "When will they ban bread?" and "Boss of your own brain," more than 100 people, some wearing hats resembling the bright red cap of the popular fly agaric variety, protested to keep hallucinogenic mushrooms legal.
After several incidents involving tourists -- in March, a French teenager jumped to her death from a bridge after taking mushrooms -- the Dutch government plans to ban them.
