Just a quick update after months of non activity in the mushroom world: Magic Mushrooms were banned, but Sclerotia and Mushroom Growkits are still legal.
Sclerotia have the same effect as Magic Mushrooms, but they are a bit milder. You can buy them in a smartshop.
With Magic Mushroom Growkits you can grow your own mushrooms at home. You can buy them in a smartshop.

 Mushrooms are banned at the moment. Today we found out that the old, familiar truffles (the philosopher's stones / Sclerotia) however, willnot be banned by the present Ministry of Health. Also the growkits that can grow shrooms remain legal. It has to do with the difficult position the Minister of Health is in: a few lawsuits of the Dutch Smartshop Association (www.vlos.nl, www.saveourshrooms.org), and the scientific reports that reported ‘in favour’ of the psilocybine containing mushroom products.
Minister Klink (Christian Party CDA) answered to the questions of the Parliament member Joldersma (CDA) on hallucinogenic truffles and grow kits (2080910170):

 We now know that for Minister Klink a “causal link” has a slightly different meaning than for his lawyer.. According to the dictionary it means: “The principle of or relationship between cause and effect”. But logic doesnt seem to be something these people can cope with.
Minister Klink’s reply on the questions of MPs Van Velzen (SP), Van der Ham (D66) and Azough (GroenLinks) on “magic mushroom incidents” (2080910540).

 Today we received answers to the 3 questions of the Socialist Party (SP), Social Democrats (D66) and the Green Leftwing Party (GroenLinks) on his lies about the "mushroom incident" with the Frenchman and his dog:
Answers to the parliamentary question from Van Velzen (SP), Van der Ham (D66) and Azough (Green) on the three-time expression of untruth about magic mushrooms (2080907450).
Question 1. Do you acknowledge that you have at least three times an untruth told about the incident in which a Frenchman killed his dog? In contrary with the scientific truth (psychiatrist) you kept saying he took mushrooms. (1- Parliament 6 march 2008, debate about the national drug policy, page 60-4243 *** 2- “Netwerk” news broadcast, 7 august 2008 *** 3- “Vrij Nederland magazine, issue 49, 6 december 2008 *** 4- “Algemeen Dagblad” , July 17 2007 *** 5- Additional information of mushroom incidents, CAM october 2007 )

The Smartshops say the ban on shrooms has failed because the active ingredients that give the mushrooms the magic (psilocybine) can still be found in other legal products, like truffles. Those truffles have been sold for over 15 years. Apart from that, mushroom growkits are still sold in the shops.
Its not improbable that the Dutch Ministry of Health will soon put a ban on coffee and alcohol. Read the whole article to see why.

 Job Cohen, major of Amsterdam doesn't like the national ban on magic mushrooms. After negotiations with delegates of the national government he said he would start execute the national policy in Amsterdam, 'with fresh reluctance'.
Cohen says that he is generally cooperates well with the national government. "But I do not always agree with them. For instance, i think in Amsterdam we have a great drug policy. I don’t think national measures should intervene with this. I will execute the imposed ban on shrooms with fresh reluctance; if i were to decide i wouldnt have imposed it, though.
