Amsterdam Psychedelic Retreat – Mushroom Tea
Signing up for a psychedelic retreat in Amsterdam might not seem out-of-the-ordinary for someone in their 20s.
But this study had an innovative twist. Participants weren’t taking illegal magic mushrooms; rather they consumed truffles containing similar substances as their source.
These truffles, commonly referred to as “trip truffles” or psilocybin truffles, can be purchased in Smartshops alongside cannabis for easy consumption at home. Furthermore, making your own at home can also be very rewarding!
How to make it
Psilocybin mushrooms (commonly referred to as magic mushrooms or shrooms) are one of the most popular psychedelic drugs today, producing strong hallucinogenic effects and leading to feelings of euphoria and happiness. Unfortunately, however, they can also produce nausea, confusion, and an increase in heart rate. Mushroom tea offers an effective and safe method for enjoying mushrooms that minimizes nausea without eating entire mushrooms directly or chewing on them directly.
To create mushroom tea, cut up a dose of psilocybin truffles or mushrooms into pieces before adding to boiling hot water and steeping for 10-15 minutes, stirring regularly. Finally strain out any extra material and drink up.
Mushroom tea can be found at various Amsterdam Smartshops (not to be confused with coffeeshops that sell cannabis). When searching, look for discreet stores offering various truffle or mushroom varieties such as Mexicana’s Hawaiiana’s Dragon Dynamite Tampanensis etc. These shops feature experienced staff that are knowledgeable in dosage and euphoric effects of mushroom tea consumption.
Ingredients
Mushroom tea is made with dried or fresh mushrooms containing the psychoactive substance psilocybin, which has the power to induce psychedelic effects associated with feelings of happiness and euphoria. You can find mushroom tea sold at Amsterdam smart shops which specialize in truffle varieties like Mexicana’s Hawaiiana’s Dragon Dynamite Tampanensis etc. Truffles are actually the sclerotia from more well-known magic mushrooms, possessing similar psychoactive properties while remaining safe when prepared correctly.
Taste
Psychonauts who have experience using mushrooms often prefer tea over traditional methods of ingestion such as eating whole mushrooms or chewing gummies to take in their psilocybin dose, as it allows the user to enjoy all its effects without being burdened by taste-off or indigestible parts of mushrooms such as chitin. Furthermore, adding them into tea allows users to consume it faster while potentially reducing nausea caused by taking mushrooms.
An easy and effective way of taking in psilocybin-rich mushrooms is through making tea with them. Simply grind up the mushrooms into a fine powder before steeping for 20 minutes in boiling water before straining out any extra particles – creating an appetizing, nutritious beverage which won’t upset the stomach! This creates a delicious tea rich with nutrients while being gentle on digestion.
Mushroom tea can be prepared from fresh or dried mushrooms, truffles or both, depending on your personal preferences. Truffles contain similar psychedelic properties to more well-known magic mushrooms and can be legally purchased in Amsterdam smart shops (not to be confused with cannabis coffeeshops). Mushroom tea includes an herbal blend designed to increase happiness while treating anxiety depression or stress; you may add other ingredients like honey ginger lemon etc for flavor enhancement.
