1. Delve into the world of truffles

As with anything, even with truffles: know what you’re getting into. If you are new to the world of psychedelics, make sure you learn more about what truffles are and what the effects are. An incredible amount can be found online, including on our website (read our magic-wiki only once). Knowing what effects to expect and how to trip safely and responsibly will put you in good stead. It can also certainly help to ensure that you are not anxious or nervous, allowing you to enjoy the trip more relaxed.

2. Prepare the environment

When you go tripping take into account the set and the setting. The setting is the environment. It is important that the environment in which you are tripping is safe and that you feel comfortable. After all, you will soon be in higher realms, so you should be able to surrender completely to the experience then. Are there other people present? Make sure these are people you know well and can trust.

You can also make sure that the environment is pleasant: soft pillows, some food and drink and relaxing music. You might get creative inspirations during your trip. One of the tips we can give you for when tripping with truffles is to put down things you can use to express your creativity: pen and paper, felt-tip pens, paint or (if you are musical) your favorite musical instrument. Funny toys can also add to your trip, such as glow sticks and optical illusions.

3. How is your emotional well-being?

Another tip when tripping with truffles is to pay attention to your emotional state. That is the set, of the set and setting mentioned above. It is important that you are comfortable in your own skin. Psychedelics like truffles enhance your emotions. If you are happy and feel confident, then your trip will most likely feel great.

But if you are stressed, angry, anxious or sad, you can imagine that your trip will not feel as pleasant if these emotions are magnified. Such feelings can lead to a bad trip. If you are not feeling so well, then it is advisable to postpone your trip for a while.

4. The best way to use truffles

Then it’s time to take your truffles. But how best to go about it? First, dosage: for beginners, a dose of 2 to 3 grams of dried truffles is recommended. Truffles are best taken on an empty stomach. Cut them into smaller pieces so that the active ingredients can be absorbed more easily. Keep in mind that your trip will take a while to get going, between 30 and 60 minutes on average. So do not take some more after only 10 minutes because you think it will have no effect. If you find it exciting to use truffles, one tip is to take half the dose first. After an hour, see if this is enough for you, and if not, you can still take the second half.

5. The benefits of a trip sitter

As mentioned, tripping is basically safe. Still, a trip can be intense and induce feelings of restlessness or anxiety. Therefore, it is wise to arrange for a trip sitter. This is someone you know well and trust. This person will stay with you during the trip and make sure everything is going well. It is recommended, however, that your trip sitter knows something about psychedelics and how you may react. In doing so, it is also recommended that you use a tripstopper at hand.

6. Make truffles palatable

It must be said, truffles are not very tasty. They have a bitter and earthy taste, making them difficult for some people to eat. But fortunately, you can do something about this. Make a magic truffle smoothie, add them to a salad or eat them with a piece of dark chocolate. Be careful not to heat your truffles; that will cause the active ingredients to break down.

Another option is to make a cup of truffle tea. This can also help counteract one of the side effects of raw truffles, nausea. To make tea, chop the truffles as finely as possible. Boil water and then let it cool for 5 minutes. Then put the truffles in the hot water and let steep for 15 minutes. You can also add a plain herbal tea for a better taste. When you drink the tea, chew the truffle pieces before swallowing.
