Hallucinogenic truffles replace banned magic mushrooms
16 February 2009

Free newspaper De Pers reports on hallucinogenic truffles which have taken the place of the magic mushrooms banned in December 2008.

In reaction to questions in parliament, Health Minister Ab Klink confirmed that the hallucinogenic truffles, called sclerotia, and magic mushroom grow kits are not covered by the ban.

As a result, many of the so-called 'smart shops' now have signs in their windows advertising the hallucinogenic truffles, which are sold under the name philosophers' stones.

A spokesperson for the branch organisation of smart shops says the list of mushrooms included in the health minister's ban "is nonsense”. He said it was copied from some German website
which in turn copied it from a natural history museum "in some Italian hamlet".

"The list is full of errors, and 90 percent of the banned mushrooms are not used by people anyway."

A spokesperson for the health minister said the minister did not say his list was carved in stone.

"Some species may be added to the list, just as some species may be removed from it."

De Pers writes that in the meantime, sales are booming, even though the truffles have a lower content of psychoactive substances than magic mushrooms.

However, a smart shop owner said the truffles are just as strong, but have a different effect: "Magic mushrooms are more hallucinogenic, truffles make you turn inward, surf your mind".

Thank you for posting, it clears up a lot of questions I had. Now I know I will be able to get philosopher stones while there, now if I can find someone to start a couple three magic mushroom kits before I get there.

I don't get this ban. Mushrooms are banned but other hallucinogenics (such as the aforementioned "truffles") are legal? Are the truffles less powerful or dangerous than the mushrooms? Are they even worth trying?

Truffles are worth trying. Most things are.

Truffles made me ill for 3 hours and had no effect, but some people love them!

i did philosopher stones my first trip to the Dam, it wasnt a hallucinogenic high but very introspective and thoughtful, like a brain trip, id reccomend to try.

Someone gave me something they said was 'shrooms and hash in a chocolate glob. I got really high, but not high enough to stay at the Widespread Panic concert. The music made me ill so I left.

How long will it be before they tie up that loophole though?

If they do....there are still trips to be had

Mescaline cactus eg. san pedro, peruvian torch, peyote

or

LSA seeds, eg. morning glory or hawaiian baby woodrose

both are a bit harder on the stomach than shrooms, but both will give you a 10-12 hour trip.

And they are also on sale in the smart shops.
