Amsterdam Coffeeshop Directory Forums

Hi folks

Im in Amsterdam next week and we plan to do some shrooms, or whatever equivilent is available

Ive done mushrooms about 7 years ago, before the law changes I guess. A couple of times I did Mexican mushrooms and ive also done the philosophers stones. Ive only done them 3 or 4 times but always had a fantastic time with them. Aside from the tripping, the thing that sticks in my mind is the laughing, I remember tears and tears of laughter until it felt like there was no more water left in my body to come out.

I would probably prefer to relive the laughter than be tripping too heavily, we dont plan on a massive amount although that said, the tripping and hallucinations are all part of the fun aswell.

In the past I seem to recall it lasting 6-8 hours and by the time I came down, I was so mentally and physically shattered we were not fit to go out. As its quite a short visit we would probably prefer something a little less intense but then alot of the info ive read suggests the truffles are not as heavy going as the shrooms anyway.

Could anyone suggest a type or name to look out for? Something widely availlable? Im not bothered about trying to get under the counter mushrooms, just fancy spending a trippy afternoon and hopefully being in some state to go out again that night (I always prefer to stay in for tripping, its just what works for me as I get a bit paranoid in big cities at the best of times)

Any suggestions would be gratefully appreciated

Thanks

Thanks for the link but that seems to mostly be about mushrooms - ive googled about the truffles and the Atlantis ones seem to be very popular

Truffles are pretty mellow compared to shrooms but still a dirty come down but no where near as intence as shrooms especially if you have used shrooms before, i had 2 boxes of the Atlantis and functioned perfectly fine to hit CS and walk around. Even managed to get off to sleep for a change

mushrooms and truffles

is like comparing cheapest maroc vs amnesia haze


truffles are way to weak

Thanks for the info,

Its been so long since I did shrooms I might aswell be doing it for the first time

Shame to hear that about the truffles, how would you describe the come down?

On mushrooms I often felt it was over only for another wave to wash over me, and once I did eventually straighten out I was so tired and called it a night very early.

We ( 8 of us ) did truffles afew weeks ago in Dam but only the 4th ones on the list, was told no 1 was the strongest. Was everyone's first time so didn't want to go too mad, plus we had four days to kill, so more was on the cards depending on results. We picked up 5 x 20g boxes, half a box each with spare, had mixed results, took an hour to get going then had two mates completely fubar'd, like stareing into space and giggling constantly and turning white while sitting outside withno coat on at -3'c in the snow, two mates almost depressed, three mates very happy and seeing stuff while giggling and me, well it was a first for me 2 but it was more like xtc than lsd, very weird up, energy filled, dancing about and I def had waves, stronger and stronger, lasted for 6hrs I would say. Then got battered in a CS so not sure what was effecting what after that. Not for me but there was 50/50 reviews, so most suit some people.

The worst part of the whole experiance was actually eating the truffles, I actually threw up in my mouth three times trying to chew them. Not something I like to think about and will never do again. Hate mushrooms anyway, had I not had £10 in my mouth I would have chucked for sure!

We had a similar selection of outcomes when we last did shrooms as a crowd, ive loved it everytime and had a great laugh - my mates wife sat in a corner rocking repeatedly saying "I dont like it" over and over

We both fancy giving it a try but dont want to go crazy on it as its a fairly short visit so we dont want to waste loads of time coming down.

Ill post back with how we get on, and what we go for in the end. From what ive read, it looks like about 10g will be what we go for, unless advised differently.

Look forward to the update fat_tony as Mrs Rigsby was a huge shroom fan so truffles will be on our shopping list.

this made me laugh loads! hahaha i had exactly the same experience. Spent a while trying to prevent myself actually throwing them up! In the end the truffles won out and i threw up.....still had some effects and didnt like it. my boyfriend had a totally depressing night and told me he felt dead inside when we got up the next morning lol

We did atlantis truffles from what I remember, seems they were quite strong, my experiance was interesting but I certainly didn't get a buzz or feeling I would want again. I'd try real shrooms one day but I'd need to find a way to eat them without chewing them, for reasons already stated

Blender and a protein shake, can't make a protein shake taste any worse!

One small point I must add, my mates were all drinking before and during, then a few hours later we hit the coffee shops, that's when people started to really go mad and a few didn't react to the accumulated effects too well. Trying to perform first aid to a passed out mate while being totalling battered was not easy, we couldn't ask him if he was ok due to us all being in stitches and it when on for ages. One of them, who hit floor, had amnesia, not the weed, actual, like he didn't know what happened and him asking us what's going on while we're staggering about after he does a comedy dive into the pavement, it was too much, he did not know what he just did, thought we where being mean, so stormed off then turns around to admit he didn't know where he was, again and couldn't read the signs due to them being in dutch, this did not help the situation. We then stumbled on dam square, 10 mins calming down, spotted our route, made it back, what a walk around amsterdam that was!

We arrived in Dam at 1pm, two down by 4pm, good start to a four day session!

Everyone was fine, the no sleep for 36hrs was a factor too, I woke up thursday for work and went to bed Sat 2am, didn't notice a come down as such or had any gut issues, lucky it seems.

+1 Kermit. ate 1 dose of Atlantis, walked around the Museum district leidesplein etc.. not too strong at all. and I haven't eaten shrooms in about 10 years.. just kept having this sour tast in my mouth and then was hit with another wave of funkiness.. not too visual.. but as with any trip I have ever had.. they are all different....... I would try them again.. but i would eat 2 boxes next time.

copied from other thread

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.

My recommendation? Find a nice sample of LSD (the strain not the hard drug) get 2 space cake from Paradox, eat cakes, smoke a fat 2g splif of LSD. You'll be trippin' in fucking time!

Enjoy!!

To counter the shrooms flavor :

Natural flavoured potato chips.

Believe it !:P
