[Solved] Can I also use LSD (analogue) during a truffle ceremony?

For most truffle ceremonies Certain additives or another substance such as LSD can be chosen in consultation beforehand. These are usually approximately 30 minutes before consuming the truffle used so that the effect begins just before or simultaneously with when the psilocybin starts to work. Below is an explanation of the most common options.

Cocoa

Ceremonial cacao is often used as a gentle opening to the ceremony. Cacao contains theobromine and small amounts of anandamide-like substances that mildly stimulate the body and can provide a warm, open feeling.

Many participants experience that cacao helps to:

• to become more emotionally open
• to reduce tension
• easier to set intentions

Passionflower (Psiloflora)

Passionflower, sometimes called “psiloflora” in this context, is a plant with mild MAO-inhibiting properties and a calming effect.

The possible roles during a ceremony are:

• relaxation of the nervous system
• a slightly deeper or longer effect of psilocybin
• reduction of nervousness prior to the trip

Banisteriopsis caapi (Psilohuasca)

Banisteriopsis caapi is the vine that is also used in ayahuasca. This contains stronger MAO inhibitors such as harmine and harmaline. When this is taken before truffles, it is sometimes referred to as psilohuasca.

Possible effects:

• more intense or longer psilocybin experience
• more introspection
• sometimes a more visionary or spiritual experience

Because MAO inhibitors can interact with food and medication, they are only used after careful screening and require a special diet.

Blue lotus

Blue lotus is traditionally used for its mildly relaxing and slightly euphoric effect.

During ceremonies, it can help with:

• physical relaxation
• a dreamy, meditative atmosphere
• a softer transition to the psychedelic state

LSD (legal analogue) or combination with truffles

Sometimes a choice is made for legal LSD analogue instead of truffles, or for a combination of both.

Possible variants:

1. LSD analogue only – often a clear, visual, and long-lasting psychedelic experience.
2. Truffles – usually more introspective and emotional.
3. Combination LSD + truffles – can provide a more intense experience because both psychedelics enhance each other.

When LSD or an additive is used, this usually happens about half an hour before consuming the truffle, so that the peak of the effects coincides better.

So:
During a truffle ceremony, additions such as cacao, passionflower (psiloflora), Banisteriopsis caapi (psilohuasca), or blue lotus can be used upon request. Additionally, one can opt for a legal LSD analogue or a combination of LSD and truffles. These are usually approximately 30 minutes before the truffles taken to optimize the timing of the experience.
