Is there a significant risk of being sold poisonous mushrooms in an Amsterdam smartshop? Or are you talking about other drugs?

(By the way, many products sold in such stores do in fact come in branded containers including instruction booklets for safe usage, etc.)

Many national brands have some kind of inspection behind them - UL listed, or FDA approved. I'm wondering what a 'brand' printed on a laser printer in somebody's garage is worth, in terms of product safety.

Yeah, that's an interesting question. But it seems weird to suggest that any non-local buying psychedelic truffles in a smartshop is "stupid" because they shouldn't trust the brand. I don't really see how it has anything to do with whether you're local or a tourist.
