Saving Shrooms

category international | rights, freedoms and repression | other press author Monday October 29, 2007 10:40author by gurggle Report this post to the editors

The Dutch government have decided to ban shroom sales. But at least one hundred people gathered to save them Saturday last carrying colourful shroomie messages "When will they ban bread?" and "Boss of your own brain", they thus vowed to go on doing whatever it is they do to their brain.

Amongst marchers were included the weighty psychedelic Arno Adelaars who criticised foreign tourists for getting pissed up on beer, gawking at prostitutes, stuffing their faces with hash cake & then thinking that's the time for a dose of psilicybin. Quite right. I agree. Rather than banning the shrooms they should ban the tourists.
about 100 people attend the Shroom march Amsterdam Sat. last

People in Ireland of course saw Mary Harney ban their shrooms in 2006 as reported here

Hasn't stopped them though has it?

I'm lending this all my cognitive liberty support. Save the Shroom! & thus I will append updates. Meanwhile in a small indication of how silly this all is, later last Saturday night police raided an after-party in northern Amsterdam arresting 50 & taking a haul of cocaine & other alkaloids. Not a single spore of magic dust just the real nasty stuff. Get yer priorities right!

This is serious kids. It's so serious that I'm calling to the druidic types for assistance in the saving of shrooms . You've got 3 ways to save your shrooms for an optimum period of 8 months to 2 years depending on storage temperature. We've got squillions of spores to find a new safe home away from the meanies like Mary Harney or whatever her aDam equivalent is called....... Or else we lose the very special buzzers.

If you find three shroom rings decide to collect the spores of one now. If five two. If seven still two. You're not to go out madzer hallowe'en style and cull all the psilocybin of Erin. Sustainability is the byword. Thats for the sickle and straw basket crew. Now for the people who only encounter them for the giggles - (a) Put your shrooms in honey seal the jar. (b)Dry them at room temperature & wrap them up in paper and put them in a cold dry place. Buy loads of new suitcases and put your shrooms in them along with the silica "do not eat me" sachets.

Do not put your shrooms or spores in your tupperware water proof container.
