Dutch Government Seeks To Ban Magic Mushrooms
The Dutch cabinet has proposed a ban on the sale of all hallucinogenic "magic" mushrooms because they could induce life-threatening behaviour.
A bill will now pass to the Dutch parliament, where a majority of lawmakers are expected to back a ban after a teenage French girl who had eaten mushrooms died jumping from a bridge in 2007.
While dried magic mushrooms are ******* in the Netherlands, fresh mushrooms can still be bought openly in so-called "Smart Shops".
