What is a cocoa truffle ceremony?
At a cacao truffle ceremony More cacao is ingested than what you can normally get through chocolate when combined with magic truffles. By combining the effects of raw cacao with truffles, synergistic effects are created, resulting in a deeper journey inward.
What does raw cacao do to psilocybin?
Raw cacao contains monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors. MAO is an enzyme responsible for the breakdown of certain neurotransmitters, such as serotonin, and psychedelics like psilocybin. By inhibiting the action of MAO, these neurotransmitters and truffles can therefore remain active in the brain for longer.
Psilocybin, MAO, the active ingredient in magic truffles, is converted into psilocin in the body. Psilocin affects the serotonin receptors in the brain. When raw cacao (with its MAO-inhibiting properties) is combined with magic truffles, the breakdown of psilocin can be slowed down. This means that the psilocin can remain active in the brain longer, allowing the effects of the truffles to last longer and feel more intense.
The extra effects from cocoa
Cacao itself has multiple effects on perception and mood. Without the addition of psychedelic substances, these are the most frequently mentioned effects:
Mood improvementRaw cacao contains phenylethylamine, a substance also known as a mood enhancer that can act as an antidepressant. It helps the brain produce serotonin.
Increased alertness and concentration: Due to the presence of PEA (phenylethylamine), cocoa can give you some energy and improve concentration.
Connection and intuitionRaw cacao opens your heart and connects you with your intuition. It is therefore easier to connect with your inner compass.
Increased libidoCacao is known for its ability to get sexual energy flowing.
Physical healthRaw cacao contains many antioxidants, fiber, and important minerals such as magnesium, zinc, iron, potassium, and selenium.

Wow, this explanation of a cacao truffle ceremony is fascinating! I never realized how raw cacao's MAOI properties could interact with psilocybin to enhance and prolong the effects. The mood-boosting and heart-opening properties of cacao alone sound amazing, and combined with the truffles, it seems like a really deep and introspective experience.

A cacao truffle ceremony is a special form of a truffle ceremony in which the psychedelic effects of psilocybin truffles are combined with the heart-opening and mood-enhancing properties of raw cacao. This combination is becoming increasingly popular within the world of psychedelic therapy and consciousness development, partly due to the synergistic effect of both substances.
What does raw cacao do during a psilocybin session?
Raw cacao contains mild MAO-inhibiting substances, such as tyramine and theobromine. MAO (monoamine oxidase) is an enzyme responsible for breaking down serotonin and psilocin (the active substance formed from psilocybin), among others. By temporarily inhibiting this breakdown, psilocin remains active longer in the body. That means that the psychedelic experience usually builds up more slowly, lasts longer, and can be more intense.
In addition, raw cacao contains phenylethylamine (PEA) and anandamide, substances that improve mood and promote a sense of happiness and connection. These substances stimulate the production of serotonin and dopamine, which deepens the emotional aspect of the truffle experience.
Additional effects of cocoa
The combination of cacao with truffles enhances not only the psychedelic effects but also the emotional experience. Many participants experience an intensified sense of during a cacao truffle ceremony. heart connection, emotional openness and intuitive insights.

Raw cacao + magic truffles = Cacao truffle ceremony = stronger and longer trip!
If you add sufficient raw cacao or cacao nibs to magic mushrooms or truffles, the truffles will last longer and have a stronger effect. The effects of cacao then also complement the psychedelic experience. Cacao not only slightly prolongs the effects of the truffles but also enhances feelings of connection, self-love, and joy. This is due, among other things, to substances such as theobromine, phenylethylamine (PEA), and anandamide.
Cacao combined with truffles can do this:
- strengthens the sense of love, compassion, and connection;
- often makes the trip visually richer and smoother;
- helps with emotional healing and deepening of intentions;
- subtly extends the duration of the psychedelic experience.

A cacao truffle ceremony combines the neuroplastic effects of psilocybin with the heart-opening, MAO-inhibiting action of raw cacao, ensuring a longer and more intense trip. Raw cacao contains phenylethylamine and anandamide, substances that enhance feelings of love and connection, while the MAO inhibitors slow the breakdown of psilocin. This makes it ideal for emotional healing and deeper inner work, especially for those more sensitive to the intensity of pure truffles.
