Interest in psychedelics is growing, and many people are happy to get acquainted, but neatly within the law. Good news: in the Netherlands you can. The psychedelic mushroom itself is banned, but the truffle form with the same psilocybin is legal. Here is the complete legal route.
Step 1: understand what is legal
Mushrooms have fallen under the ban since 2008, magic truffles have not. Same fungus family, different form. The full story is in magic mushrooms are illegal, truffles are not.
Step 2: choose a variety that fits
For a first exploration a mild variety is the obvious choice, such as the Tampanensis or Mexicana. Those with experience who want to go deeper look at the sturdier varieties. The guide which magic truffles suit you helps.
Step 3: determine your dose
A precision scale makes it exact, and the 90-minute rule keeps you from judging too soon.
Step 4: arrange your set and setting
The environment and your state of mind colour the whole experience. Read set and setting, and keep the day free. That is how you explore psychedelic mushrooms as intended: calmly, consciously and legally. Note: we currently ship within the Netherlands only.
