...Rogier Bos, speaking for the expert body that advised the minister on the issue, agrees. "If these consumers switch back to LSD, public health will suffer." The synthetic hallucinogen, which has been banned since 1966, is usually sold as a piece of impregnated paper, and thus easier to hide and trade than the bulky mushrooms...
...normalcy. Take that naked fellow on the roof. Until today, he was a perfectly normal lawyer, a trifle nervous about meeting his fianc?e's family, but steadying himself by taking what he thought was a Valium. Not his fault that he grabbed the wrong pill bottle and ingested a hallucinogen instead. And so it goes - the obsessive, the insecure, the clinically demented, the madly narcissistic and the merely stuffy: A lot of hidden agendas are going to come out of the closet before this movie winds...
When Amsterdam police found a disoriented French tourist in his van last month with his slain dog beside him, he told them he had wanted to free the animal's mind. He also said he had ingested magic mushrooms, which contain the hallucinogen psilocybin.

Raging is a far more extroverted action:rowdy rather than racy, overdone rather than underground. It entails whooping instead of whispering and will almost always feature Heineken over a hallucinogen. An improvement, some could say. A collegiate prerogative, you could argue. And it’s true that outward excitement sounds better than its experimental predecessor.But technically the word “rager” isn’t misleading: Late-night social events are often full of violent debauchery...
