[Solved] High dose of truffles?

Can I get a high dose of truffles? The last time I tried truffles on my own, I took 25 grams. I had nothing more than an energy boost and was, at most, a bit more emotional. I didn't have any other visual effects. Can I get a high or heroic dose of psilocybin then?

We quite often hear that people have tried truffles before and that they didn't turn out to be very strong. Sensitivity to psychedelics can vary from person to person. You may need a higher dosage to experience the desired effects. We will take your body's sensitivity to psilocybin into account, and we do indeed think that you need twice as much as the average person.

Furthermore, we can also provide tips to make the receptors for psilocybin and psilocin more sensitive, resulting in a stronger trip. These include, for example, supplements or foods you can take in the run-up to the truffle session. Due to the higher dosage of truffles and proper preparation, it almost never happens with us that someone does not experience any effects from the magic truffles.

Regarding your goals, psychedelic therapy can certainly help with self-acceptance, breaking learned patterns, managing emotions, and discovering your motivations. It can also stimulate your creativity and musical output. Our facilitators can support you in exploring these aspects during the session.

If you are interested in a high dose of truffles under our guidance with professionals tripsitters/therapists, I recommend that you complete the online intake. Based on your answers, we can advise you on the appropriate dosage and the best approach for your specific goals.

What you describe—a lack of visual or deep inner effects despite a dose of 25 grams of truffles—is more common and can have multiple causes. 

First of all: yes, it is certainly possible to a higher dosage of truffles or even a heroic dose of psilocybin to be received within a supervised setting, but this is always preceded by a thorough intake. During that intake, your physical and mental health, medication use, previous experiences, and goals are assessed. You can complete the intake via this link.

Your description of the previous experience – a slight energy boost and emotional openness, but no visuals or deep breakthroughs – may indicate:

1. Strong mental resistance or control mechanisms, which often occurs in people with a strong drive to achieve and analytical thinking skills.

2. Reduced sensitivity to psilocybin, which is biologically possible, although rare.

3. Wrong setting or preparation, preventing your system from fully surrendering.

Within a professional truffle session these factors can be addressed in a targeted manner. Through adjusted dosage, psychological preparation, and post-processing integration, the likelihood of a profound experience is increased.

Given your themes, such as self-acceptance, breaking learned patterns, and learning to manage emotions better, a powerful psychedelic experience is highly suitable. heroic dosage (5+ grams of dry psilocybin mushrooms or the equivalent in truffles) can act as a catalyst in this regard, but is only used if it is therapeutically justified.

A group truffle ceremony might also be suitable, provided you are open to sharing your process with others. You can view the schedule of open ceremonies in this overview page.

If you want more certainty about how powerful your session will be, you can opt for a private session where both the dosage and the guidance are fully tailored to you.

If I take 25 grams of truffles, I space out like crazy. It's incredibly strange that one person gets high and another needs to take much more. That's why the first time with psychedelics is a test of how you react, and guidance is definitely helpful.

Your situation with the 25 grams of truffles can happen. Some people do indeed have less sensitivity to psilocybin, but there is much more at play. What stands out is that you did experience emotional openings and felt energy—these are actually positive signals showing that your system responded, just not at the deepest level.

The interesting thing is what we see in people who move to a higher dose. Those who previously felt little but were willing for a more powerful experience often describe suddenly experiencing much more depth. This may be because their defense mechanisms in their body and mind became more conscious and they were able to let go. Psilocybin does not work as linearly as "higher dose = more effects"; it is also about the context and your inner readiness.

What you describe regarding your goals—self-acceptance, breaking learned patterns, managing emotions better—are perfectly suited for what psilocybin can facilitate. A person who had similar goals described after a high-dose session that he literally "felt his anxieties and depression in his arms," and that it allowed him to give comfort to them instead of running away from them. This was a turning point.

It is also good to keep in mind that sensitivity is highly individual. Someone else described how even 25 grams of truffles caused him to react very strongly, with a lot of spaciness. This demonstrates that the spectrum is extremely broad, and that professional intake is truly essential to accurately assess your own biochemical profile.

An addition to preparation that is not always mentioned: many people with a drive for achievement and control issues (which you also describe) can struggle with letting go. Recognizing this pattern in yourself in the weeks leading up to the session can help. Some therapists offer meditation or breathing preparation specifically aimed at this.

Regarding your musical creativity: this is a valuable goal, and psilocybin can truly bring about breakthroughs here. After such sessions, creative individuals describe that their blockages disappeared and that they were able to get back into their intuitive flow.
