[Opgelost] Guided LSD analog session in Haarlem

It’s wonderful that you’re exploring the idea of a guided psychedelic session during your stay in Haarlem. Triptherapie is actually the first organization in the Netherlands that made it possible to legally experience the therapeutic effects of LSD under the guidance of a trained therapist. Since 2019, Triptherapie has supported many individuals during their psychedelic journeys using both LSD and legal LSD analogs.

Legal status and substance used

In the Netherlands, LSD-25 (the classic form of LSD) is a controlled substance under the Dutch Opium Act and therefore illegal to possess, buy, or use. To stay within the law, Triptherapie uses a legal form of LSD — a so-called LSD analog — which has the same pharmacological effects as LSD itself.

This analog is a prodrug, meaning that after ingestion it is converted into LSD in the body, resulting in a virtually identical experience. The effects and therapeutic potential are the same as with classic LSD, but because of the compound’s legal status, it can be safely and lawfully offered in the Netherlands.

Bringing your own LSD

If someone prefers to use illegal LSD-25 under guidance, Triptherapie advises against that option and instead recommends the legal analog for safety and compliance. However, in situations where a person already possesses LSD and wishes to proceed, the team can still act as harm-reduction facilitators or tripsitters, providing guidance and ensuring safety without supplying or handling the substance themselves.

How it works in Haarlem

Triptherapie’s facilitators — such as Marcel, Sascha, and Janneke — provide guided LSD sessions in Haarlem and nearby areas. You can choose to have your session:

• At your accommodation (hotel, Airbnb, or private rental)
• In a rented space suitable for a psychedelic experience
• Or at the Psychedelic Loft in Schiedam (their main location)

Each session follows a complete therapeutic structure:

1. Intake and preparation – A health screening and conversation about your goals, psychological background, and expectations.

2. Guided session – A safe and personalized psychedelic experience under professional supervision.

3. Integration – Post-session coaching to translate insights into personal growth and emotional balance.

Summary

1. Triptherapie is the first provider in the Netherlands offering therapeutic LSD sessions legally.

2. The sessions use a legal LSD analog that turns into LSD after ingestion and has the same effects.

3. Bringing your own LSD is not allowed, but harm-reduction guidance is possible if you already have it.

4. Sessions in Haarlem are available, guided by Marcel or Sascha, with full therapeutic support and integration.
