Psilocybin mushrooms in Amsterdam

Are magic mushrooms legal in Amsterdam?

Magic mushrooms (psilocybin mushrooms) were previously legal in the Netherlands, including Amsterdam. However, since December 1, 2008, they have been classified as a controlled substance and are illegal to possess, produce, or sell in the country. This change in legislation was prompted by several incidents involving tourists of who thought the have consumed magic mushrooms and experienced adverse effects, leading to accidents and even fatalities. Later it became clear that those tourists didn’t used mushrooms or when they did that it was a combination of more drugs.

Magic truffles als legal alternative

Magic truffles and psilocybin mushrooms (paddo’s) are both parts of the psychoactive fungi that contain the same active compounds, primarily psilocybin and psilocin. The key similarities between them include:

  • Active Compounds: Both magic truffles and psilocybin mushrooms contain psilocybin, which is converted in the body to psilocine. Psilocine interacts with serotonin receptors in the brain, leading to altered states of consciousness and hallucinogenic effects.
  • Effects: The effects of both substances are similar, including visual and auditory hallucinations, emotional breakthroughs, and a sense of connection with nature and oneself. Users often report profound spiritual insights and a deepened understanding of their emotions.
  • Therapeutic Potential: Both magic truffles and psilocybin mushrooms have been studied for their therapeutic benefits, including treatment for depression, anxiety, and PTSD. Research supports their use in therapeutic settings to facilitate emotional healing and personal growth.
  • Legality in the Netherlands: In the Netherlands, psilocybin mushrooms are classified as illegal, while magic truffles are legal. This legal distinction allows for the use of magic truffles in therapeutic settings without the legal restrictions associated with psilocybin mushrooms.

In summary, while they differ in physical form—magic truffles being the sclerotia (underground part) of the mushroom and psilocybin mushrooms having a stem and cap—they share the same psychoactive properties and therapeutic potential.
