The Dutch Ban Magic Mushrooms

The Dutch government is eschewing its liberal drug policy and banning the sale of psychedelic mushrooms in the country. The decision was made following a series of incidents involving tourists who took the drug. From the BBC:

"[A] 17-year-old French girl jumped from a building after eating magic mushrooms during a school trip to Amsterdam in March. Other incidents involving the drug have included an Icelandic tourist jumping from a balcony and breaking both legs and a Danish tourist driving his car wildly through a camping ground, narrowly missing sleeping campers."

It seems to me that these sorts incidents would be a good reason to keep mushrooms regulated and out of the black market. I suppose the Dutch government is not as pragmatic as I had hoped.
