What is a truffle session?
A truffle session is an organized activity in which psilocybin-containing truffles (magic mushroom scelerotia) cause altered states of consciousness after ingestion. A truffle session often has a therapeutic or spiritual purpose, with a trip sitter/coach/guide working with you to achieve the goal while also ensuring safety. Other names for a truffle session truffle session for example, a mushroom session or psilocybin session. This is because of the same effect.
Magic truffles are the tubers (scelerotia) of magic mushrooms that grow in the ground when conditions are unfavorable for the mushroom. Although magic mushrooms are illegal, truffles can still be used, as they contain the same activating substances, just in lower concentrations. Magic truffles are also called philosopher's stones because, when dried, they are as hard as stone.
When is it better not to do a truffle session?
There are several contraindications when it comes to using psychedelics. Pregnant and breastfeeding women are advised against using psychedelics. Mental health conditions such as borderline personality disorder, schizophrenia, and psychosis are very strong contraindications. It's also best to avoid using psychedelics if you have cardiovascular or blood pressure problems. Medications such as Tramadol, antidepressants, antipsychotics, and blood pressure medications should not be combined with psychedelics.
What can you use a truffle session for?
If there are no contraindications, a truffle session can be incredibly helpful in gaining valuable insights. Many of these insights are used for therapeutic purposes, such as trauma processing, depression, addiction, and stress-related complaints (which can also manifest physically). Spirituality and personal growth are increasingly common themes for truffle sessions. Furthermore, there is a small group of people who simply want to experience the experience in a safe environment with an experienced guide.
