[Solved] Are truffles drugs?

Truffles work in the body because psilocybin is converted into psilocin, a substance that closely resembles serotonin, a natural neurotransmitter. As a result, they bind to serotonin receptors in the brain, particularly the 5-HT2A receptors. This causes changes in perception, mood, emotion, and consciousness, and temporarily opens the way for more connection between brain regions — something that can be very useful in the treatment of, for example, depression, anxiety, or trauma.

As explained on the page about drugs as therapy Psilocybin is currently being researched precisely because of its therapeutic potential. At Triptherapie, we therefore consciously make use of truffles in the context of psychedelic therapy, not as a recreational drug.

We believe that truffles are indeed “drugs,” but of a other order than addictive or harmful substances such as alcohol, nicotine, or opiates. Users emphasize that truffles are not addictive, do not cause physical dependence, and that tolerance sets in quickly, meaning that repeated use in a short period of time has little effect. Another advantage is the exceptional low toxicity Regarding truffles: a theoretically lethal dose is many thousands of times higher than an effective dose. Consequently, truffle overdosing does not occur in the literature.

Do you want to use truffles in a safe, therapeutic context? Then you might consider participating in a truffle session or truffle ceremony. The process starts with a no-obligation intake procedure taking into account your health, medication, and goals. This ensures that truffles are used not only legally, but also responsibly and meaningfully.

I cannot call it a drug. It is a mind-altering substance or plant medicine. I do not care what the legislator names it.

Psilocybin truffles fall under the category of psychedelics. It is a drug that is seen by most people as harmless because it is legal, just like weed.
