Hey all, been to the dam a few times And have always been able to get shrooms.. now I'm hearin truffles are the alternative to shrooms..
Can anyone shed some light on what truffles are like?? Is the trip similar to shrooms?

i've done shrooms in the Dam a few times and the last trip (aug 11) tried the truffles.

I didnt like them at all, neither did my boyfriend.

We all know mushrooms do not taste great but the truffles we had were seriously hard to stomach. They a cork-like texture, taste vile and honestly the trip wasnt pleasant.

The ones we had werent really visual trippy or even body high, was more introspective thought.

Prob what some people like but if you have a single worry it will surface and wont go away. Suppose some would say this is normal but i've had a bad trip on shrooms before and went back for more these however were a first and last.

I've a friend who wants to try them in March, who knows might be completely different for her

A few threads on here say you can still get shrooms, if you ask right

Jimjames, don't be put off by one persons bad experience. I've done truffles a few times and had a great time. They were not quite as visualy trippy as shrooms, but I wasn't going for the knock-out stuff.

My best advice is have a good look in a few different smart shops. Look at what is on offer, and speak to the people that work there. It is in their interest to make sure you don't lose the plot/have a bad trip/think you can fly and jump of bridges etc. If you don't like what you see or hear, move on to the next place. There is plenty of choice.

Also, being with people you feel comfortable with, being relaxed and being in nice surroundings always helps. If you don't feel right, for whatever reason, dont eat truffles. Forcing the matter will only end with negativity. The first time I went to Dam, I had my heart set on tripping balls. When I arrived however, the weed and beer was more than enough for me. I personally didnt want to take things any further, even though the people I was with did.

Just remember to stay safe, be happy and have fun. Go with the flow, bro

shrooms arent difficult to get, better sticking off with them. iv most of the types of truffles available. they all taste horrible, bad corky texture, earthy taste followed by acidic after taste. it is possible to make a more palatible tea if you have the means. it also means your stomach will be saved digesting the truffles which should cut down on stomach discomfort when tripping.

philosophers stones- very introspective. some visuals, mainly light bending of objects although mild. not much of a body high. very much mind surfing. can be very relaxing/pleasant but can also lead to depressing overanalizing of problems. can be very fun if you are in the right mood.

mexican truffles- little bit stonger than p.s. more colourful visuals although not full on mushroom visuals. more c.e.v than o.e.v . i found them pleasant to trip on but a bit energy draining. trip distinctly differnt from mushrooms. tried various doses but always found them to be lacking the effect im looking for.

atlantis truffles- stronger effects than both mt and ps. stronger c.e.v and more o.e.v . gives a more shroom like trip with a little more energy. have had several times and would be my choice if shrooms were not available.

galindoil truffels- trip is very introspective, less visual than a.t. body load is much higher than p.s and m.t , and most likely you will hardly move an inch in hours. if you want a trip to think about your problems then this is the one for you. i didnt find them to be much fun and found them a bit physically uncomfortable as well.

pajateros truffles- very introspective trip with strong c.e.v . some o.e.v. trip can be very intense. found them to be alot stronger than other truffles, but not in a pleasant way. was left with a whats next?, have i taken too much? etc feeling early on in trip which eventually subsided. body load on these truffles is much greater than other truffles and i found it to be a major drag on the trip. wouldnt recomend these truffles as overall i found them unpleasant to trip on. many others i spoken to who also took them because they are strongest also said the same. i wouldnt take them again.


personally when it comes to shrooms i compare all shrooms/truffles to copelandia mushrooms (hawaiian). none of the truffles come close. to confuse things but smartshops will commonly reffer to the truffles with brand names such as "cosmic connections", "dragons dinamite", "mushrocks" etc and there are a few companies producing them. some brands are just various differnt weights of the same truffle. best to ask when buying them.

Cool little documentary!

thanks winnie

Thanks Winnie! Great video

Not to bump an old topic, but hey i want to tell how i do it.

I am quite familiar with the mexican truffels, or what ever all the names attached to it (always bought safe from headshop)


I take the truffels , and when i'am feeling alright after a while, i use to smoke one to mix up the trip.

When you do it, please don't be shocked for the effects, it's getting really trippy!!
such as strange faces, weird looking things :p

Does anybody have done truffels with a smoke, so yes can you also share a story aswell ?

Greetings,

I went to the Dam for the first time last year and for me the truffles made the trip (pun not intended...). Weed I can take or leave, but these were amazing.

The three of us were completely broke but all first-time users, so we bought one portion of Dolphin's Delight between the 3 of us and ate equal measures on an empty stomach.

They tasted absolutely disgusting, to the point where my friend physically couldn't swallow them and threw some back up.

After finishing them I ate some salad because I was hungry, and then it hit me... I shut my eyes and leant back on the bed. One of my friends said
"look she's gone to sleep" and I said
"Can't you feel it?"
"feel what?"

Then I just lay down and was lost in my own universe. It was amazing. In my mind I was wandering in and out of different worlds, all which had different rules of existence. I can remember thinking over and over "Nothing can be the same after this, this will change me into a completely different person". There was some very mild paranoia, as I didn't know what my friends were doing or whether they felt it to (it could have just been me lying in a room and them wondering what the hell was going on). But it wasn't a bad feeling, more like curiosity.

When I opened my eyes there were some mild visuals, the walls pulsated etc and if I stared at something rainbow patterns would form. When I got up to go to the loo it felt like being at sea during a very rough storm - it was difficult to balance. But I really did not want to move off my bed.

I was affected the most as I'm the smallest and also chewed more. But consider that I only had a third of a normal portion of one of the milder varieties...

I'm also generally a more introverted person, so this trip was perfect for me - if you're looking for something more visual that allows you to continue talking then truffles might not be for you.

^^^ that's pretty cool, good to have friends around too

Tried Truffles twice. They are ok. Its kinda like mushrooms but no really... They Tastes worse then mushrooms.. some times vacume sealed.. so.. have some thing to eat with it.. I found a Cassis Fanta helped cuz it too tasted like crap.. It did how ever it did give me the bubble guts. so have fun.

waste of time
