Fairly sure there were very regular problems with tourists losing their minds on mushrooms. I remember one story of a guy on mushrooms who eviscerated his dog cause he thought it was the devil.
Holland suffers a lot from what tourists do while profiting from their lax drug laws. Towns like Roosendaal on the border with Belgium were flooded for years with French and Belgians (like me) coming to fill their backpacks with weed and mushrooms. In the 90s you could walk away with however much you could carry from coffee shops like Koyaanisqatsi. Lots of French dealers would go stock up there.
When the shops were closed on Sundays you'd have dealers in the streets.
It was all fun and games at the time but for the average Dutch person living there it wouldn't have been a lot of fun and I understand they cracked down on it for that reason.
