Yes, psilocybin-containing truffles are legal in the Netherlands.

A session with psilocybin can not be considered a medical treatment, nor is it a replacement for a medical treatment or therapy.

No. We only offer this psychedelic journey as part of a program, consisting of 6 sessions. These sessions will help you prepare and integrate the experience. This ensures an optimal experience. 

Our practice is based at Keizersgracht 394 in Amsterdam, where all preparation and integration sessions take place. The psilocybin sessions are held at a comfortable, quiet location in Amsterdam West. 

Working with psilocybin has shown promising results for conditions such as depression, anxiety, and PTSD, but it can also have some effects. 

Common short-term side effects may include:

• Temporary increases in heart rate and blood pressure

• Nausea or dizziness

• Changes in sensory perception (visual or auditory distortions)

• Emotional intensity, including periods of anxiety or fear

• Confusion or difficulty focusing during the session

• Fatigue or mild headache after the experience

Less common but possible reactions include:

• Brief feelings of paranoia or panic

• Disorientation or distressing thoughts during the session (“challenging experiences”)

• Emotional vulnerability in the days following therapy

Long-term side effects are rare. Integration is a key part of minimizing psychological discomfort after the experience, which is why we will have 2 integration sessions after the journey.

Working with psilocybin has been shown to be physically safe and psychologically beneficial for many people. Clinical research has found that psilocybin is non-addictive and has a low risk of physiological toxicity.

We offer a controlled, therapeutic setting with trained professionals. Psilocybin can bring up intense emotions or challenging psychological material, which is why professional guidance and proper integration are essential.

All potential participants are evaluated on a case-by-case basis by a qualified mental health professional to determine suitability and safety. Psilcybin is generally not suited for people who: 

• ‍Have a personal or family history of bipolar disorder
• Are pregnant or breastfeeding
• Have a personal or family history of schizophrenia or other form of psychosis
• Have a personality disorder (like borderline or narcissistic personality disorder)
• Have severe cardiovascular disease
• Have substance dependence issues that are not stabilized
