Once when I was off my head I saw the home affairs minister doing a great job not squandering the the taxpayers money on crappy schemes and the head of police ran a superb force and it was safe to walk the prom on a weekend. I must have been absolutely fucking ripped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Static Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 What's even worse about that article is that it doesn't even show the right bloody mushroom! For the sake of the inquisitive they could at least show the correct one so that the uninformed at least pick it correctly and don't end up getting their stomacs pumped when they've eaten posonous ones.

thesultanofsheight Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Goood areas to find them in abundance are Port E Chee meadow,opposite the police station around the rugby fields,the conrhenny back road....... It always surprised me that the Police never got on to the Port E Chee meadow harvest. Going back to the mid eighties you could go there at 6 in the morning and join in with the other space cadets. If they could be bothered they could probably see what was going on from the HQ windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I doubt anyone will find mushrooms, like those shown on the bbc site, over here because they are the Hawain/columbian/thai/ecuadorian type mushrooms. Commonly found in head shops in Amsterdam. Still hallucinogenic but in varying strengths and well documented. Isle of Man mushrooms are of the Liberty Cap variety (psilocybe semilanceata).

I know what Liberty Caps & Fly Agaric look like from experience but have never tried any of the ones found in dutch head shops. thanks for the links, i'll know what to look for next time i'm in the 'Dam!
