"though the teenager had suffered from psychiatric problems in the past." Why should that get in the way of a good media feeding frenzy though? "It's a shame, the media really blew this up into a big issue," said Chloe Collette, owner of the FullMoon smart-shop in Amsterdam. She said all the incidents had involved the use of multiple drugs—against the advice of sellers—but it was the mushrooms that were blamed.
