# Amsterdam Drug Control Dutch to Ban Sale of Magic Mushrooms By Ben Preiss | Published 2007-10-29 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dutch-to-ban-the-sale-of-magic-mushrooms References: [news.yahoo](http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20071027/wl_nm/mushrooms_dutch_dc_ylt=AneTvR954v9msGdLLI7AR6AQr7sF) & [bloomberg](http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=acYjGwQjmw4A&refer=home) 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.8/10 - Popularity: 79% | Activity: 88% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Bizarre](https://www.trendhunter.com/bizarre) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Mushroom Tourism:** Opportunity for businesses to create guided tours and experiences centered around the legal consumption of hallucinogenic mushrooms for tourists. - **Psychedelic Tourism Safety:** Demand for safety measures and regulations to ensure the well-being of tourists engaging in psychedelic experiences. - **Alternative Psychedelic Substances:** Exploration of non-hallucinogenic substances that can provide similar therapeutic or recreational experiences without the associated risks. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Tourism:** Tourism companies can capitalize on the interest in psychedelic experiences by offering safe and educational travel packages for tourists. - **Entertainment:** Opportunity for the entertainment industry to incorporate psychedelic-themed events, performances, or virtual experiences. - **Healthcare and Wellness:** Potential for the healthcare industry to research and develop safe psychedelic therapies for mental health disorders or explore alternative wellness treatments. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Microdosing Mushroom Gummies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/not-your-grandmas-portobellos.md) - [Amanita Mushroom Gummies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amanita-mushroom-gummies.md) - [Modern Psilocybin Treatment Facilities](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/psilocybin-treatment.md) - [Magic Mushroom Gummies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/area-52s-magic-pluto-mushroom-gummies.md) - [Spray-Based Psilocybin Therapies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/psilocybin-therapy.md) - [Celebrity-Backed Mushroom Mixes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mistercaps.md) - [Ultra-Crunchy Mushroom Chips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/popadelics.md) - [Mushroom Microdosing Gummies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mojo-macro-strength.md) - [Microdose-Supporting Mushroom Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mushroom-capsule.md)
