Could a ban on hallucinogenic mushrooms herald the end of Holland's famous liberal drug policy?

once again, the reality of liberalism runs its course. it is not freedom; it is slavery in all ways, economic, social, intellectual, physical, spiritual, etc. It looks like a gorgeous hooker who on the outside, the fulfillment of a fantasy but ends up detsroying you with its systemic disease-simple STD or worse aids.

While drugs can have some unsettling affects on the individual, Holland's drug laws do have some benefits.
They do not make criminals out of someone who wants to experience them and they are safer in that one knows what they are getting. Unlike here in America where the vast majority of people locked up in prisons are there for illegal drug possesion/selling and short of making them yourself you never really know what else is mixed in.
Drugs have also created a huge and dangerous blackmarket here.
The United States will never make recreational drug use legal though as the Government makes way to much money off of them now[$5,000,000,000-$7,000,000,000 a year] through Drug Asset Forfeiture laws, as well as increasing corruption of Law Enforcement from the Local Government all the way up to the Federal level.
Drug Forfeiture Laws are one of the more lucritive ways for the Government to take what's yours away from you without having to really prove that you did anything wrong or obtained your money and/or property through illegal means. The new gimmick of bringing charges against the money/property instead of the individual makes seizure even easier since it takes only a preponderance of evidence; a Civil Case; that you may have obtained your assets illegally rather than having to prove beyond a reasonable doubt; a Criminal Case; that you obtained assets illegally as the Government would have to prove if charges were brought against the individual instead of the money/property itself.

For the rest of the world living under varying degrees of social fascism, Holland has always been that "city on a hill," setting an example of relative sanity regarding drugs. Please do not let the light go out for the sake of flawed political thinking and knee jerk reactions to a few mishaps that would just as likely occured if drugs were prohibited there as in the rest of the darkness of psuedo-care-taking police states.

I was going to get on the plane next week and get stoned out of my mind for my birthday. Now I will have to stay here and deal with the reality of a President and Vice President are more stoned than I would ever be able to get. Rats.
