[Solved] Psychedelic session with truffles

The use of psychedelics can serve various purposes, and the choice of a particular psychedelic substance depends on the individual needs and goals of the person in question. In the Netherlands, truffles are often used during psychedelic sessions because they are legal to use. Truffles contain psilocybin, the same active ingredient as magic mushrooms. Psilocybin is now known for the positive outcomes of scientific studies into, for example, its effectiveness in treating depression.

LSD and MDMA are also popular psychedelics, but they are illegal in the Netherlands. Although we can work with legal analogues in the Netherlands and still have LSD and MDMA sessions, many people think that it is not possible. Furthermore, psilocybin is chosen more often than LSD because psilocybin appears to be more effective and the sessions are slightly shorter, making it more affordable.

MDMA and MDMA analogues are more dangerous in combination with medication than psilocybin, and partly because of this, people are more likely to choose 'natural' psilocybin in the form of magic truffles.

The reason why most people in the Netherlands choose a psychedelic session with truffles — and not with LSD or MDMA — is largely practical, legal, and therapeutic in nature.

Magic truffles substances containing psilocybin are completely legal in the Netherlands and can therefore be used in a controlled setting without legal complications. During a psilocybin session or truffle session These legal truffles are used, ensuring maximum safety and flexibility in dosage and guidance. Truffles are most frequently used by Triptherapie due to their strong effect on neuroplasticity, emotional processing, and spiritual depth, without long-lasting side effects.

MDMA Conversely, falls under the Opium Act. Until July 1, 2025, Triptherapie could use legal MDMA analogues, but these have been prohibited since the introduction of the NPS Act. Current sessions with MDMA are therefore only possible if clients bring their own (tested) substance, in which case Triptherapie acts solely as tripsitter — without providing substances oneself. That significantly limits its applicability. Furthermore, MDMA is less introspective: it focuses on emotional safety and talking, not on visualization or spiritual insights.

LSD is also prohibited, but Triptherapie sometimes works with a legal analogue. However, LSD is less popular because the effects last longer (10-12 hours), which poses a higher barrier for participants. LSD is chosen more for deep insights, creative breakthroughs, or existential themes, but not as often for trauma or anxiety processing, for which psilocybin proves to be more effective.

Most people therefore choose truffles because:

1. they are legal and easy to dose in different strengths;

2. they are widely applicable for, among others, depression, anxiety, burnout, addiction, and trauma;

3. the operation can be easily combined with other techniques such as psiloflora or cacao ceremonies;

4. the therapeutic and spiritual effect is experienced as “more complete”.
