[Solved] Truffles soft drugs

The short answer isNo, the magic truffle is not mentioned in Dutch law and therefore does not fall under the category of soft drugs or hard drugs, although it contains the substances psilocybin and psilocin, which are classified as hard drugs.

In the Netherlands, there is a law that classifies drugs into two categories, namely the Opium Act. List 1 contains hard drugs, and these are considered more harmful substances than the soft drugs on List 2.

List 1 contains substances such as: Amphetamine, 2C-B, cocaine, DMT, GHB, heroin, LSD, methamphetamine, methadone, psilocin and psilocybin.

List 2 contains: Various benzodiazepines, laughing gas, magic mushrooms and Amanita mushrooms.

Since magic mushrooms, psilocybin, and psilocin are mentioned in the Opium Act, but truffles are not specifically listed, the magic truffle does not fall under soft drugs or hard drugs according to this law.

We do believe that in the eyes of the average Dutch person, truffles are viewed as soft drugs, despite not being classified as such by law.
