Yes, the same contraindications apply to the truffle ceremony, truffle session, truffle therapy, mushroom ceremony, mushroom session, psilocybin therapy, psilocybin session, and psilocybin ceremony. All these terms utilize the substances psilocybin and psilocin, and the contraindications applicable to these psychedelic substances apply. Therefore, for a truffle ceremony, we consider the contraindications for psilocybin/psilocin.
The contraindications for psilocybin/truffles/magic mushrooms
There are various contraindications for the use of psilocybin from truffles or magic mushrooms. It is important to know that, as a chatbot, I cannot provide medical advice, but I can give you general information. It is always advisable to consult a doctor before using psilocybin or other psychedelics.
Physical contraindications include, among others, pregnancy, kidney disease, diabetes, epilepsy, neurological disorders, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, cerebral hemorrhages, adrenal gland problems, and abnormal blood cells. These conditions can make the use of psilocybin dangerous or affect its effects.
Mental contraindications include schizophrenia, psychosis, borderline personality disorder, PTSD, and other severe mental illnesses. Individuals with these conditions should ideally not use psychedelics, as this can worsen symptoms or have a negative impact on mental health.
Contraindications for certain medicationMedications such as TCAs (for example, amitriptyline) and MAO inhibitors can interact with psilocybin and must therefore be tapered off in consultation with the prescribing physician before psilocybin is used. Other medications such as Lithium can be very dangerous in combination with psychedelics. Various medications for blood pressure and heart function can also have dangerous interactions with psilocybin.
It is important to emphasize that this is not a complete list and that it is always advisable to complete the intake form with us and/or consult a doctor before using psilocybin or participating in a truffle ceremony.
