No you can't (anymore). They are illegal since 2008. I remember when they became illegal since me and my friends used to experiment with them, but a few unfortunate accidents/deaths involving tourists combining them with other (illegal) drugs lead to their prohibition. *

They do sell “truffles” which are less-psychoactive but the same thing, legally.
- boyce 9y agoI remember when they were banned in the UK - wanted to try them that weekend (had tickets for Black Sabbath) but they couldn't be had at any money the last few days Seems weird that some drugs and some countries are moving away from legalisation but it's got to be evidence based imo
