So the knuckle dragging morons gather with their pitchforks around Head Shops, baying for blood. The Head Shop retailers are on borrowed time now. Either they will be closed down or burned to the ground.
I won’t really miss the Head Shops that much; after the mushroom ban, I found their products a bit shit. It’s the principle of the thing though. How uninformed, moronic hypocrites dictate the drug policy, because the politicians are too spineless to acknowledge the facts, the demand and the need for regulation rather than knee-jerk populism.
I see that guy whose brother jumped off a roof after mixing magic mushrooms with alcohol being mentioned again. It was the family of this man who helped get magic mushrooms outlawed for everyone, including those who aren’t completely clueless and don’t abuse them. I wonder why alcohol wasn’t banned at the same time. It seems to be the very harmful drug which everyone is allowed to abuse, but it’s still okay. Doesn’t matter how many alcohol abusers jump off buildings/rape/murder/molest/destroy public property, it’s all just a bit of craic. No blaming of chemical molecules for peoples’ stupidity in alcohol’s case.
Meanwhile, the gangsters are rubbing their hands together at the thought of the customers flooding back.
So how long has it been since the magical mushrooms have been banned? I think it’s about three years, but I’m not sure. The whole debacle surrounding them still irritates me to this day. Only one drug is allowed total freedom to be consumed in this country, and that is good oul’ alcohol. I laughed to myself when it wasn’t touched in the budget. Of course not, but they will raise the price of cigarettes. Their reasoning is that they want to prevent people going over the border to purchase their tipple. It all comes down to money.
