One reason for this attention may be that ayahuasca is illegal, and its illegality was recently reaffirmed by a Supreme Court ruling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Supreme Court has ruled that importing and possessing ayahuasca is illegal in the Netherlands. This ruling was expected due to negative news reports about a number of fatalities during or after ayahuasca ceremonies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>You will find here <a href=\"https:\/\/uitspraken.rechtspraak.nl\/inziendocument?id=ECLI:NL:HR:2019:1456\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the judgment of the Supreme Court<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"wat-is-psilohuasca\">What is Psilohuasca?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Psilohuasca is similar to ayahuasca in that it&#039;s a mixture of a psychedelic and an MAOI. In ayahuasca, the psychedelic is DMT, and in psilohuasca, it&#039;s psilocybin\/psilocin. The differences in the effects of DMT and psilocin are minor, as they stimulate receptors to roughly the same degree. There is, however, a slight difference in receptor profiles that explains these differences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"198\" src=\"https:\/\/triptherapie.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/psilocybine-dmt-serotonine-1024x198.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-655\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/triptherapie.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/psilocybine-dmt-serotonine-1024x198.png 1024w, https:\/\/triptherapie.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/psilocybine-dmt-serotonine-300x58.png 300w, https:\/\/triptherapie.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/psilocybine-dmt-serotonine-768x148.png 768w, https:\/\/triptherapie.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/psilocybine-dmt-serotonine.png 1052w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The molecular difference between DMT and psilocin is only the OH group at the 4th position<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"waarom-de-mao-remmers\">Why the MAO inhibitors?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The use of MAO inhibitors in Ayahuasca is logical. The enzyme MAO breaks down the active ingredient DMT immediately after ingestion. An MAO inhibitor, or MAOI, prevents MAO from breaking down DMT. It also prevents the breakdown of other monoamines, such as dopamine and tyramine. While dopamine buildup is often undesirable for therapy, it&#039;s not a major problem. However, tyramine buildup is a concern. Tyramine can cause high blood pressure, stroke, and even death. To prevent tyramine-related problems, a modified diet should be followed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Read more about it here <a aria-label=\"yramine, MAO and the diet (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/triptherapie.nl\/en\/tyramine-restricted-diet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">tyramine, MAO and the diet<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"gevaarlijke-combinaties-met-mao-remmers\">Dangerous combinations with MAO inhibitors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To reiterate the dangers of MAOIs, we&#039;ve provided a list of substances that are very dangerous when combined with MAOIs. You should avoid the following substances 24 hours before and 24 hours after your trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>sleeping pills<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>anesthetics<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>migraine medications<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>allergy medications<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>cold remedies<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>cocaine<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>amphetamine (speed)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>MDMA (ecstasy)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>mescaline cacti (peyote and san pedro)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>alcohol<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>ephedra\/ephedrine<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>pseudoephedrine<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>macromerin<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>phentermine.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"kan-het-zonder-mao-remmers\">Can it be done without MAO inhibitors?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>MAOIs increase the risk of health problems. Furthermore, the buildup of dopamine often leads to a less positive effect of psychedelics (in our experience). Ayahuasca requires MAOIs because DMT doesn&#039;t work orally otherwise. Psilohuasca, however, can be taken without them. Psilocybin and psilocin can be absorbed easily and remain active for 4-6 hours. If you do add MAOIs, you can reduce the amount of psilocybin-containing mushrooms or truffles. Adding a large number of MAOIs also makes the trip last a few hours longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"650\" src=\"https:\/\/triptherapie.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Psilohuasca-1024x650.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2481\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/triptherapie.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Psilohuasca.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/triptherapie.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Psilohuasca-300x190.jpg 300w, https:\/\/triptherapie.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Psilohuasca-768x488.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"waarom-zou-je-extra-risico-willen-lopen-op-complicaties\">Why would you want to take extra risks for complications?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We believe the benefits of MAOIs do not outweigh the drawbacks. Saving money shouldn&#039;t be the reason. Extending the trip duration can be both an advantage and a disadvantage. A good, intense trip doesn&#039;t have to last incredibly long. We prefer a high dose and a good trip to a prolonged, mild one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"ons-recept-voor-een-psilocybine-thee\">Our recipe for a psilocybin tea<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We don&#039;t use MAO inhibitors. If you do want to achieve a partial effect, so that MAO is mildly inhibited, there are milder MAO inhibitors that we can use in consultation. Let&#039;s be clear: health and safety are paramount, and we don&#039;t cut corners.

Many addictions, fears, stress, depression, and other personal problems arise from a (negative) distorted self-image, from unrealistic thoughts, or from subconscious stress, which stems from fears in the subconscious. Treating yourself to the best in terms of nutrition, thoughts, and exercise will have a positive effect during and after the trip, as these lifestyle changes will become logical during the trip. Be good to your body and mind, and they will be good to you in return.
