What works better? Magic mushrooms or truffles?
In the case of therapeutic effects, there are no significant differences between paddotherapy and truffle therapy. Both are equally effective at improving self-image, combating anxiety, treating depression, combating burnout, and resolving mild addictions. The main difference between magic mushrooms and truffles lies in the concentration of psilocybin and psilocin. Magic mushrooms generally have a higher concentration of these substances, while truffles have a lower concentration. If you keep the total intake of psilocybin and psilocin the same by eating slightly more truffles in proportion, you will likely notice no difference in the intensity of the trip.
In general, it can be stated that dried mushrooms contain about 10 times more psilocybin than fresh truffles. If someone takes 3 grams of dried magic mushrooms has taken, this is comparable to 30 grams of fresh truffles.
In the Netherlands, magic mushrooms are illegal, but truffles are legal. This is actually quite strange, considering they have the same effect. However, our legislature forgot to include truffles on a List of Illegal Substances (Opium Act), and as a result, truffles are legal to use in the Netherlands. In that respect, truffles are better than magic mushrooms.
