German unconscious after drug use

17 August 2007

AMSTERDAM – A German tourist was found unconscious in his hotel room in Amsterdam on Friday morning after having eaten hallucinogenic mushrooms, smoked marijuana and hashish, drunk alcohol and injected heroin.

The 26-year-old German was staying in a hotel on the Martelaarsgracht, in the very same room that was trashed by a British tourist at the end of June after taking hallucinogenic mushrooms.

The German was taken to hospital. He had to be removed from the room through a window and lowered on ropes by the fire brigade.

There have been a number of incidents involving hallucinogenic mushrooms over the past few months. A 17-year-old French girl died in March after jumping from a bridge near the IJ tunnel while under the influence of mushrooms.

Last month a 27-year-old Dane, under the influence of alcohol, marijuana and mushrooms, ran amok behind the wheel of a car on a campground.

It's difficult to get a sensational headline out of people who stick to smoking:

German tourist stares out coffeeshop window smiling and grooving to the music for 2 hours after smoking hash. British couple gets stoned on weed and wanders happily around Amsterdam for 3 hours before they remember where their hotel is located. American tourist has a sore tummy after smoking a joint and drinking 5 chocomels and eating 5 muffins.

Those sure won't sell many papers.

On the other hand, people with addiction problems and no common sense need help. No amount of prohibition of anything is going to stop them from eventually hurting themselves.

Yes, it's a classic tale of manipulating the headline to push an agenda.

No surprises here.

Amen to that!

Silly bastards, I have no sympathy (except for their families); these are the minority threatening to fuck it up for the rest of us. If the Dutch ever do decide to stop selling to tourists, then it will only be thanks to these people, not you or I.

I had one thrown out of Lost a few weeks back, he was tripping his tits off, throwing rubbish at me and my pal. The last straw was when he went into the ladies toilet, and wouldn't come out. Well, I needed a pee, so I took it up with the manager, who physically threw the boy out

I hope it wasn't him in the hotel room...

Out of curiosity has it always has been like this? I can see this kind of behavior every weekend if I go out into town for a few beers, idiots who can't handle their beer causing trouble.

Now when you add in some Magic Mushrooms or other substances and somebody is in a strange town it is surely a recipe for disaster. You should be tested to rate your common sense / IQ before being allowed to try any kind of drug…

You know what? I think it's getting worse. I saw more UK wankers this year than last, and so on.

Or maybe that's just my perception because the streets have been cleaned up of so many Dutch scumbags since I first started visiting Dam.

no shit U-ROY of course its not
I always thought that the after u inject heroin its a typical consequence that one would pass out for a undisclosed amount of time. Then again i am not an expert on herion, pot yes, but heroin noo.

SRH_Spaded>> Not unless you're ODing. Long term junkies would be very unlikely to do that, unless they suddenly had a supply of purer than normal powder. They may well go semi-conscious, but not flat out comatose. Most times the addicted will be simply hitting up to try and feel 'normal' once more - to stop the cramps, mental torture, vomiting, itchiness, depression etc.

-=-=--=-

To those who voiced their opinions earlier in this thread, and seem very hard line against the addicts, I truly hope you never have friends who fall into the pit of despair that comes with class A addictions...

Sorry that this post is not my normal happy go-lucky style, its just until your friend dies, or your family risks falling apart over that shit, it really is quite difficult to have a fucking clue what you are talking about.
Peace to all - no trolling/poking/name calling intended, would still happily blaze up and talk shit for hours with any of you that wanted to, I'm just unable to not respond to some of the comments above.

[+1 minute edit]
Having re-read my post, it is probably time I get off my soap box/down from my pedastal... I'm guessing I'd be as pissed off as the next guy if some hard core addict ruined life for all the tokers.

There's obviously an agenda at work here, to blame mushrooms for the dangerous actions of the few.

The next sensationalist headline in the The Nederlands could well read;

"Serial Killer ordered mushrooms before murders"

... with the bulk of the story going on to say that the serial killer always ordered Pepperoni cheese and mushroom pizzas from domino's because he didn't like to kill people on an empty stomach.

The media is not always a responsible messenger, Fox News has taught me that much.

Still, I have faith that the Dutch people will see through the bullshit, and decide the future of mushrooms based on fact.

Only by you, apparently?

Everyone else must have got what I was saying, or I would have been jumped on by all and sundry.

You misinterpreted what I said; I meant those that make the most noise, most mess, get in the most trouble are wankers. If it was all conducted by people from another nation, I would have said, 'German wankers' or whatever; the sad fact is, all the loudest, gobbiest voices in the coffeeshops are British.

Personally, that makes me pretty embarrassed and ashamed of my fellow countrymen. Can you honestly say you appreciate these assholes when you're on holiday in order to escape all things English?

I genuinely can't believe I am having to explain myself to you... I thought this was a friendly place, and you have made me feel about 16 fucking years old

So, thanks for that.
