How to use truffles

Hey there! 

Welcome to the wonderful world of truffles. These little underground powerhouses are nature's way of surviving tough times, and they're ready to give you a trip you won't forget. But first, let's get to know them a little better.

What are truffles; the basics

Technically, truffles aren't mushrooms, but they still contain the same active ingredients, psilocybin and psilocin. And the best part? Truffles are legal in the netherlands. Enjoy them worry free while you’re here.

When it comes to truffles, size matters. The bigger the truffle, the stronger the trip, but don't worry - we've got you covered. We carefully break up our larger truffles into smaller pieces to ensure you get the perfect dose. Magic truffles contain two main alkaloid tryptamines: Psilocybin and Psilocin And two minor: Baeocystin and Norbaeocystin Psilocybin is converted inside the body into psilocin. Psilocin is the main substance responsible for the psychedelic effects of the truffles.

How to consume them

When it's time to trip, preparation is key. Avoid fast food during the day, and don't eat for 3 hours prior to your trip. Take truffles on an empty stomach to get the full effect. You can eat chew them raw, make tea, or lemon tek them, for step by step instructions on each of these methods, see below

If you opt for the chew method make sure you chew until you feel no more chunks- it should feel like a paste in the mouth, then swallow- if you are not a fan of the taste (you’re not alone there!) You can chew with a small amount of dark chocolate at the same time.

If you make a tea, chop the truffle into very small pieces and add to warm water and a tea bag, seep for 6-8 minutes (it is not necessary to consume the small chunks left over). Avoid consuming sugar with the dose as this will lower the effects.

For lemon tekking follow these steps; 

1. To create your own Lemon Tekking blend, grind your truffles into a fine paste / powder using a grinder or blender. Place the powder in a shot glass and ensure it's evenly spread out.
2. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the mixture, making sure to coat all the solids completely. You may need a second lemon to ensure full coverage. Fresh lemon juice is recommended for best results.
3. Allow the mixture to sit for at least 15 minutes, stirring occasionally for even “cooking”. You can also use a shaker to let the citric acid do its job.
4. For those extra prone to nausea, use a coffee filter or cheesecloth to remove truffle pieces from the fluid. Collect all the juice in a glass and discard the remaining material in a safe location.
5. Your Lemon Tek blend is ready to consume, whether with or without the truffle paste / powder. Treat it like a shot and drink it all at once.

The effects

Now for the fun part - the effects! Get ready for a sensory explosion - colors will become more intense, your surroundings will overlap each other, and you might even see music or smell a color. Your mood may be significantly affected, and you'll experience feelings and perceptions that are sometimes strange and unreal. All thanks to psilocybin and psilocin, which affect the neurochemicals serotonin and dopamine.

But what if things go south and you have a bad trip? 

Don't panic! it can be reassuring to know that you cannot over dose with psilocybin. it can happen during a trip you begin to feel unwanted thoughts and experience unwanted sensations, below you can find our top tips to deal with this:

1. Close your eyes, take a deep breath, relax your body and mind, and focus on a particular smell or sound. 
2. Take some sugar and vitamin C to decrease your cortisol levels, and give and receive hugs to elevate your oxytocin. 
3. Put yourself in a calm and relaxed environment, this helps to reduce sensory overload.
4. Remember - it will pass, our psilocybin truffles have an average duration of 4 hours, with the help of sugars you can reduce this.

A few important things to keep in mind - don't use truffles in combination with soft/hard drugs or alcohol, we strongly advise not to consume if you're pregnant, suffering from psychosis or depression, under medication, driving or operating sensitive/dangerous equipment, or under legal age.

How to store

Truffles are a "living" product, so make sure you store them in the fridge at 2 to 4 degrees Celsius to keep them fresh. They can last around 6 weeks in a fridge and around 1 week outside of a fridge.
