Why do you use truffles in psilocybin therapy?
At psilocybin therapy We use truffles because magic mushrooms have been declared illegal in the Netherlands. However, truffles contain the same active substances as magic mushrooms, namely psilocybin and psilocin. Psilocybin is the substance responsible for the psychedelic effects. Truffles are legally available and can therefore be used for the psilocybin session. Incidentally, it is allowed psilocybin therapy only take place if not done for medical reasons. For example, the use of magic truffles in combination with aromatherapy or music therapy is a permitted variant.

At psilocybin therapy uses Triptherapie intentionally truffles instead of magic mushrooms, and that has both legal as well as practical reasons.
Since 2008, magic mushrooms — or psilocybin-containing mushrooms — have been banned in the Netherlands and listed on List I of the Opium Act. Truffles (sclerotia), on the other hand, are not explicitly prohibited and therefore fully legally available and usable. This makes truffles the only legal source of psilocybin for therapeutic sessions in the Netherlands.
But the choice of truffles is not only legal. Truffles contain exactly the same active ingredients like magic mushrooms: psilocybin and psilocin. The effect, intensity, and therapeutic value are therefore identical, provided it is dosed correctly. Because truffles are legal, we at Triptherapie can work with reliable, controlled, high-quality truffles, which increases the safety, predictability, and effectiveness of the sessions.
In addition, truffles are often less heavily associated with illegal drug use. This lowers the threshold for many people to start therapy and makes it easier to involve family or therapists in the process.
On the Triptherapie forum You read that users experience truffles as a full-fledged alternative to magic mushrooms, offering deep insights, emotional breakthroughs, and a safe experience — provided they are well prepared and guided.
