Mushrooms' continued legality in Holland was doomed as soon as they were banned in the UK.

(Oct 15 07, 11:41)why would those two episodes be connected, if you don't mind me asking?
- bolus0
because the UK is the benchmark country for all the rest of the world.
or at least that's what the brits still seem to think
wake up, the empire is history

Because of EU trade rules.
If one thing is legal for sale and import/export in one country it should legally be for sale across the rest of the EU, essentially.
So, very much to do with Empire, Bolus - just not the old British one.

sorry, i wasn't looking for an incendiary post. I acknowledge I was calling for it though. Was not intentional. My fault.
I just asked because (so the newspaper tells) there's 2 new herbal shops near Lisbon selling imported mushrooms profiting from what we call a blank-in-the-law. there's a hole hole in the definition of what forbidden psychotropic substances are. Probably a hole in EU laws too.
But police is working on it.

eh? No, i was .. i was just answering succinctly - how on Earth did you pick up any emotion from my response?!
If anything, I should be miffed at Bolus and the chip on his shoulder... must be hard for the Dutch, always having lived in Britain's shadow..

heheh, I'm about as ...empirical.. (to abuse a word) as an American. No. Hold on, that doesn't work any more.
As a Russian! No, not that either. Hmm.

anyway, i was never much into drugs - except booze. I'm not a moralist, but I honestly think Amsterdam deserves a much better tourism than crazy mofos looking for a high. You know, it sorta sticks to the place.
Not that the natives seemed to worried about it though when I was there. But I was 12.
I wasn't really looking.

anyway peeps - we (who's they?) have a fucking treaty to endorse till friday. any of you read it?
I downloaded it today, but i'm still on page 40 of 125. I'm not very good at suspicion and foul play, but apparently there's no talk of loosing identity or any political hindsight so far for any country of the 27 whatsoever.
what sayest thee?
