i can see it now cops on stake out s in fields in case any mushy's think about growing !!! they can be arrested
Get the facts. The sale of them raw (legal up till now), is what's being banned.Quote:

No harm. Stick to the regular mushrooms.:)

While we're busy calling people plonkers, here's your first post with the more obvious glaring errors highlighted. You might like to think about learning about such fields as spelling, capitalisation and grammar - particularly the use of the apostrophe - before calling names.Quote:

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha i bet your a great laugh down the pub , correcting gramer .an apostrophe FFS :mad:
Another example of the lazy arse youth of today. Can they not just go and pick them like we used to?
Always look for the real story behind these stories that cause outrages and block up the media coverage. Terrible week for the Government, particularly the carnage on the roads alot of which is down to drink. How many months/years has the Government had to legislate on this rather than a rush job not even directly related to a particular case? Legislation out of nowhere is always covering up other things imo.
The shrooms being sold in shops aren't Irish and are better quality. God be with the days of being out in a field with your plastic bag at 7 in the morning.Quote:

ive just spotted an ad at the bottom of this page for organic mushroom kits :D :D
i was listening to bill hicks recently going on about people taking drugs and jumping of buildings because they thought they could fly , hilarious
fav line "if they thought they could fly why did nt they try taking off from the ground you dont see pigeons getting escalators to the roof of buildings "
A pointless exercise that would make King Canute blush.
They can't ban october ....and when october comes.:cool:

I think they were spawned from seeds of Irish mushrooms so they may yet qualify to be Irish.Quote:

doesn't 'died from taking magic mushrooms' sound a lot like politicky speak? you generally don't die from hallucinogens. so... how did the kid die??
Consumed 4 mushrooms, along with some alcohol. Felt sick and then vomitted in the toilet, then ran out the door of the apartment and went up to the roof and jumped off the edge.Quote:

one reason money !! ive had 2 friends 1 drank a bottle of whiskey and jumped of a bridge killed himself and an other drank a load of pints went home and hung himself .. both the fault of alchol but i would nt dream of wanting drink to be banned .
why should every one suffer because of one or 2 people .
lets put it into context
1 person dies on mushrooms and alchol : muchrooms banned
around 50,000 die from alchol abuse : wont be banned
an other 50,000 from fags:wont be banned
nearly 500 a year from cars :wont be banned
its the typical responces from people that just do not know what they are talking about what good is banning drugs , all it does is make millionares out of criminals , it does nt stop people buying or taking drugs for one single second .
The overall majority can drink responbily so you can't put a blanket ban on something because a minority can't.
The same cannot be argued for hallucinogens - you cannot take these "responsibly" simply because of their makeup - they dangerously alter the state of mind in any dose. A few drinks and your coordination might be a bit slower but a few mm's you could be throwing yourself off a bridge, as that young lad's family found recently.
but surely banning their sale and sending people back to picking them in fields makes it all the more difficult to take them responsibly?
can you with 100% certainty say that poor youngfella flipped out as a result of the mushrooms and not the booze?
4 feckin mushooms !!!???!? Are you serious Sligoman ?Quote:

Sounds a bit suss to me.
