 The past few weeks a couple of misleading headlines were published allover the Dutch media. "Psychedelic truffles, which are being sold in smartshops since the ban on shrooms in 2008, are just as addictive and dangerous as magic mushrooms." That's what psychiater and drug-expert Don Linszen , from the Academic Medical Centrum of the University Amsterdam, said. He made his claim in a christian broadcasting show (Dit is de Dag - 'this is the day') on Radio1. The Dutch media copied the message and wrote that the truffles are just as dangerous as the magic shrooms which were made illegal last year. Actually mr Linszen is right: magic mushrooms are just as addictive as truffles, which is because they both have a 0% dependency. With this message, however, the suggestion was made that shrooms and truffles are indeed very addictive. As we all know, except for this so called drug expert, mushrooms (and truffles) are not addictive at all. Even the government’s own research in 2008 concluded they are not.

The ban on magic mushrooms (since december 2008) is not injust, we have heard a few minutes ago.
That was the verdict in the courtcase of the Dutch Smartshop Organization (VLOS.nl) against the Dutch State.
We are waiting for the details of the verdict and will discuss whether to go into appeal to the higher courts. |

 It is two months since the Dutch went to the polls. Immediately following the election, the leader of the party winning the largest number of seats, Mark Rutte of the economic Liberals (VVD), was confident that he would form a coalition by the beginning of July. The beginning of July has come and gone. So has the beginning of August and still the Netherlands is without a new government — and it looks as if it is going to be at least the beginning of September before an announcement. To be fair to Rutte, the arithmetic simply is not there.
