Even if the purpose of your trip is for the decriminlized drugs, don't get stuck in just the coffeeshops and the SmartShops. These places can easily suck you in, and you will miss all the attractions the city has to offer. These places are generally in the same place, in the old section of town, make sure you get out and explore all areas of the city. There is more to Amsterdam then coffeeshops and the red light district. Leave a Comment

Also legal are smart shops, which peddle a variety of "herbal enhancers" (like ephedra) and hallucinogens (like salvia) that walk the line between soft and hard drugs. Some shops are alcohol-free and all have a strict no-hard-drugs policy. All hard drugs like heroin, ecstasy, or cocaine are illegal and possession is treated as a serious crime. Always remember that all experimentation with drugs is dangerous, and can cause either short or long-term damage.
Magic Mushrooms start to work after 30-60 minutes and you'll feel their affect for four to six hours. As with pot and hash, never look for mushrooms outside of a smart shop and never buy from a street dealer; it's extremely difficult to tell the difference between poisonous mushrooms and hallucinogenic mushrooms. The effect mushrooms, also called 'shrooms, have on you will depend on your mood and the environment in which you take it. Overall, the effect is that you will see reality differently. Colors, forms, shapes, time, and experience seem longer or shorter. Blips will appear on your screen, and you won't be able to see other things. A bad trip will most likely come about if you mix hallucinogens, such as 'shrooms, with alcohol. If you have been drinking before taking shrooms, drink a Coke to get some sugar in your system. Try to avoid eating before taking shrooms, as doing so will likely dull your high or could intensify nausea; save the food for until after your trip is over. Often people become panicky and have a faster heartbeat with 'shrooms. It should take up to eight hours for the effects to go away. Additionally, people often take too many 'shrooms because they don't realize that it takes half an hour for them to kick in. If you are having a bad trip, don't be ashamed to tell someone, because you won't be arrested in Amsterdam for using. It is not a crime here, and they've seen it all before.

 Vitamin Pills by pieter_jan_v
It's up to you; I rather stay healthy.
For your information: the next list indicaties the likelyhood of trouble vs. cause:
1 - Spacecake (Many tourist confuse this with "normal" cake)
2 - Mushrooms (The strong [negative] effects are not well-known to many)
3 - Cannabis/Soft drugs (Overdosis is a likely cause of trouble)
4 - GHB/XTC (Pills are related to dance parties, but sometimes they are used to seduce victims. Keep an eye on your drink in an unfamiliar place!)
5 - Cocaine/Heroine (only in the illegal circuit and always good for trouble)
6 - Alcohol (Dutch beers contain more alcohol than US ones and drinking too much ...) Leave a Comment
