Using magic truffles can be a life-altering experience. If you do it just right, you can reach new heights and have a transcendental experience that’ll stay with you forever. Do it wrong, however, and you’ll regret ever coming into contact with magic truffles.

What are Magic Truffles?

Magic Truffles, well known as psilocybin truffles, are psychedelics containing psilocybin, baeocystin & psilocin as active compounds. People often confuse Magic truffles with another hallucinogen sibling, magic mushroom.

At the same time, it is true that they both belong to similar psychoactive fungi but differ in their production methods. It is why magic truffles contain a lower psilocybin concentration than magic mushrooms but undoubtedly adequate to produce an intense psychedelic experience.

They deliver mind-altering experiences like changes in bodily sensations, emotions, euphoria, etc. Moreover, due to its legal status in various countries like the Netherlands, magic truffles have come a long way to easily please users who can procure magic mushrooms.

So, it’s obvious that you’ll need to be careful when using them. Many things can ruin your trip, and you surely wouldn’t want that to happen. So, let’s take a look at what you can do to ensure a positive trip that’ll make you understand why psilocybin mushrooms have been used for centuries in religious and spiritual practices.

First Thing’s First – Get Your Truffles from a Reputable Source

Make Sure You’re in a Good Place (Pt. 1)

Anyone who’s ever used magic truffles will tell you not to take them if you’re in a bad mental place, and you should listen to this advice. Magic truffles are psychedelics, which means they effectively alter your mood and perception, but they don’t randomly make you happy if you’re not happy.

Quite the contrary – they’ll enhance your existing emotions. If you’re in an awful place when you’re taking them, you’ll likely experience a bad trip that can even be traumatizing.

Make sure you’re feeling positive before taking truffles and be honest with yourself (they’ll know if you’re faking it).

Also, avoid using magic truffles if you’re suffering from psychiatric illnesses such as psychosis, depression, or schizophrenia.

While psilocybin found in magic truffles has therapeutic potential for some mental health conditions, it should only be used under a doctor’s supervision.

Make Sure You’re in a Good Place (Pt. 2)

After ensuring you’re feeling good, make sure that you find a nice, comfortable space to enhance your magic truffle trip. You’ll want to be in a calm, safe environment where there are no distractions and where you can entirely focus on your transcendental experience. In short – this means you shouldn’t be using truffles at a rave or while surrounded by strangers, for example.

It’s also a good idea to have someone who can guide you through the experience and help you have a positive trip. That person should be sober, calm, and experienced with magic mushrooms.

Take Your Magic Truffles on an Empty Stomach

It’s always best to be taking magic truffles on an empty stomach. Primarily because that can reduce nausea, which is commonly felt when using mushrooms. The nausea is caused by the indigestible chitin found in the fungi cell walls (and can often be eliminated if you brew shrooms into tea instead of eating them raw).

So, if you’re ingesting this chitin on a full stomach, you can expect to be pretty uncomfortable. You can minimize your risk of becoming nauseous by avoiding food for about 3 or 4 hours before taking mushrooms.

Have Some Snacks and Refreshments on Hand

While you don’t want a full stomach before taking magic truffles, you’ll want to have something to snack on during your trip, which can last up to 6 hours. You’ll also want to have some refreshments; water being an absolute must, and it’s a good idea to have some herbal teas that can promote the feeling of calm.

Prepare food and refreshments beforehand so as you don’t forget them during the trip.

Don’t Mix and Match Psychoactive Substances!

You should never mix and match different psychoactive or mind-altering substances! It’s never a good idea, and it’s all but guaranteed that you’ll have a bad trip if you do combine them. Whether we’re talking about alcohol, prescribed drugs, and opiates, or illicit substances, you don’t want to be taking them at the same time as magic truffles.

Start with a Light Dose

If you’re new to magic truffles, it’s always best to approach them with caution and start by taking lighter doses. Everyone has a different experience with truffles, and you never know what you can expect. So start small, with about a quarter of a gram, and slowly build your way up.

Psilocybin can have dose-dependent side-effects such as headaches, nausea, and more. Not to mention that if you take too much of it, you could have a horrible trip, both physically and mentally. So, go light on the dose, give the truffles due time to take effect (at least an hour), then increase the dosage slightly if you need to.

The Bottom Line

Following these tips should help you have a positive magic truffle experience that you’ll remember forever.
