What Are Magic Truffles?<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"magic<\/p>\n

Magic truffles, AKA psilocybin truffles, are a type of fungus that contain psilocybin. Psilocybin is the naturally occurring psychedelic molecule that is found in \u2018magic mushrooms\u2019 and is what gives them their psychedelic effect and \u2018magic\u2019 title.<\/span><\/p>\n

Truffles are at an earlier stage of fungal development than mushrooms but effectively the same thing. The only real difference is that the amount of psilocybin per weight is lower in truffles than mushrooms. More on dosage below.<\/span><\/p>\n

Psilocybin<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Psilocybin has been shown to have an impressive range of positive effects. It can trigger lasting personality changes, improve mood and alleviate depression, reduce anxiety, catalyze creative insights, and reliably occasion mystical experiences. Psilocybin has been shown to be safe, non-addictive, and non-toxic.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why In The Netherlands?<\/span><\/h2>\n

There are only two countries in the world where psilocybin is legal: Jamaica and the Netherlands. You can find magic mushrooms in Jamaica but there are a lack of quality vendors.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"amsterdam<\/p>\n

In Holland, magic truffles are fully legal. Truffle production has reached a commercial level; you can walk into a store, choose from a variety of truffles that have been vaccum packed and refrigerated, and ask staff questions before making your purchase. These types of stores, often called \u2018smart shops\u2019, are plentiful in Amsterdam, which is a short journey from any major city in Europe.<\/span><\/p>\n

Where Can I <\/span>Buy Magic Truffles?<\/h2>\n

\"azarius<\/p>\n

There are many smart shops in Amsterdam where you can find magic truffles. One place is\u00a0Azarius<\/a> at Kerkstraat 119. Azarius is a smart shop with an impressive range of goodies. They have friendly staff who will answer your questions and give you information and advice about magic truffles.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Dosage<\/h2>\n

Generally, you can buy per dose. I recommend you to get advice from the staff in the shop you buy your truffles from; tell them your experience with psychedelics and what type of experience you are looking for, and ask them any questions you have.<\/span><\/p>\n

Truffles are sold fresh in shops, so if bought, then kept for a long time and dried out, the equivalent weight will be significantly lower. As a rough guide here are dosages with fresh<\/i><\/b> truffles, as sold.<\/span><\/p>\n

5 – 10g Low dose<\/strong>.<\/em> Those with a higher tolerance may not feel anything at 5g.
\n10 – 20g Medium dose<\/strong>. Could be strong for a first timer.
\n<\/span>20 – 30g High dose<\/strong>
\n<\/span>30g +\u00a0 Very high dose<\/strong> – Potential spiritual or peak experience<\/a>. Not recommended to do alone or if its a first psychedelic experience.<\/span><\/p>\n

Serving<\/span><\/h2>\n

I have 4 options for you:
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Eat them plain
\n<\/span>2. Make a truffle tea
\n<\/span>3. Make a truffle smoothie<\/strong>
\n4. \u2019Lemon Tek\u2019.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Eat them plain<\/b>
    \nEating them as they are straight out of the packet is the least appetising way but the simplest. Truffles don\u2019t taste good and are crunchy in a bad way, but straight up chomping them will still get the job done. Chew well.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    2. Truffle Tea <\/b>is p<\/span>robably the most distinguished way to consume your truffles.<\/span><\/p>\n
