It became clear today that the Dutch government is continuing the ban on magic mushrooms. Ths despite the wish of the left wing parties to lift it. (PvdA, D66, GroenLinks)

Today there was a debate in Dutch Parliament analyzing the effectiveness of the mushroom ban. Minister of Health, Ab Klink and Minister of Justice, Hirsch Ballin come to the conclusion that the ban is a success, when considering the very few magic mushroom related incidents this year.

Between December 2008 and March 2009, just eight times the Ambulance services were called upon to assist in these incidents. The same period a year before this was forty-nine times.

The left wing parties state that it is not the magic mushrooms where the problem lies, but it is the young tourists that get into trouble when combining the magic mushrooms with alcohol and/or other drugs. Because of this, the Dutch population, who almost never need medical attention after the (ab)use, are the victims of this new law.

However, for the people who still care to trip on pcilocybin there is good news. The government is not pursuing a ban on psychomimatic Psilocybe strained truffles or sclerotia. Also the grow kits for all magic mushrooms remain to be legally sold and possessed for small scale home use.

We continue to sell one of the most beautiful products that nature has to offer.

From this point on it is illegal to sell and grow fresh and dry magic mushrooms as a retailer and wholesaler.  Mushrooms are classified as a class 2 drug, what categorizes them as illegal soft drugs, just as marihuana. But unlike cannabis the commercial sale is not allowed.

The ban is the result of several mushroom related incidents that happened earlier that year. A French depressed girl jumped to her death.

In the parliament the majority of the leading parties (CDA, VVD, CU and PVV) insisted on a complete ban.

The minister of health, Ab Klink, initiated an investigation to map the risks and dangers of Magic Mushrooms. The investigation is done by the CAM. This is a group, part of the Dutch ministry of health, that assesses and monitors (new) drugs. The conclusion of their findings is:

“The use of hallucinogenic mushrooms has such little danger to the individual health and the society that outlawing it would be an instrument too heavy when considering the little damage and problems caused by its’ current use. “

Minister of health decides to ignore the report of the CAM (for the first time a minister does this in Dutch history) and he proceeds with the ban. Making it illegal to grow and sell magic mushrooms for commercial use.

Despite the ban, magic mushroom grow kits and magic truffles, also known as philosopher stones, triprocks and sclerotia remain legal.
