[Solved] Psychedelic Therapy in the Netherlands

Yes, therapy with psychedelics That is indeed possible in the Netherlands — albeit within a specific legal framework. In the Netherlands, some psychedelic substances are illegal (such as pure psilocybin, LSD and MDMA), but Certain natural or synthetic variants are, in fact, legal and may be used in a therapeutic setting provided they are not presented as a medical treatment.

At Triptherapie, we make use of this by working with magic truffles (which are legally available and contain psilocybin), MDMA analogues and LSD variants which are not (yet) included on the Opium List. As these sessions take place under the supervision of experienced therapists or trip sitters, and with extensive preparation and aftercare, they fall under what we call “”non-medical psychedelic therapy” to call.

Although it is therefore not legally recognised medical treatment It is, in fact, entirely legal provided it is carried out correctly. In fact, there is a growing movement towards official recognition: for example, €6.5 million has recently been allocated in Europe for research into psilocybin in palliative care. It is expected that, within a few years, psychedelic therapy will also be officially recognised and reimbursed.
