Are you allowed to use psilocybin mushrooms in Belgium? The so-called psilocybientjes?
In Belgium, the use, possession, and sale of psilocybin and products containing this substance — such as psilocybin mushrooms (also known as “psilocybientjes”) — forbidden. Psilocybin is classified as an illegal substance there and falls under narcotics legislation. This means that both magic mushrooms and magic truffles are illegal, regardless of the purpose of use (therapeutic, spiritual, or recreational).
Unlike Belgium, are magic truffles in the Netherlands they are legal, because they do not explicitly fall under the Opium Act. As a result, many Belgians choose to opt for a truffle session or a psilocybin session to travel to the Netherlands. Triptherapie offers a safe and professional environment for these sessions, for example in the Psychedelic Loft in Schiedam, or at a location in the Netherlands chosen by the customer.
In short: psilocybin mushrooms are banned in Belgium, but in the Netherlands there are legal and guided alternatives for those looking for a serious psychedelic experience.
