Psilocybin therapy in the Netherlands

The current state of rooms in the year 2023

Mushrooms or mushrooms containing the psychoactive substance psilocybin were declared illegal in the Netherlands in 2008 due to their alleged health risks and misuse as a recreational drug. This means that the possession, sale and cultivation of magic mushrooms is still punishable.

However, there are still possibilities to use psilocybin for therapy, through so-called “magic truffles”. These truffles are a type of tuber that also contains psilocybin and are not classified as illegal drugs. This makes it possible for therapists to offer psilocybin therapy. The truffles can be used to help with mental health conditions such as depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. There is still a lot of research going on in this area. For the time being psilocybin therapy still legal through the truffles.
