Magic Mushrooms

The other thing that is legal in Amsterdam are magic mushrooms. These are sold in what are called "smart shops". I liked the decoration outside of this one. I went inside to check it out and found it really fascinating. Shrooms are not even considered to be a drug by Dutch authorities since they are picked fresh and served fresh. I listened to a conversation between the sales clerk and customer as he was recommending what to get and describing the high that would result. The way the shrooms were being described, it was almost like being in a fine wine shop or a place that sells gourmet food. The descriptions were really detailed.
