As part of a clinical trial Michael Mosley, a BBC reporter, tests the effects of  Psilocybin on the brain. It was really funny. He couldn’t stop talking and talking about everything. It was a really funny experience for him. We want to share peoples experience with our customers! In this manner we give you more information in addition to the reviews we placed before.

The experience Michael Mosley had, is in common with my experience with Psilocybin. I am Peter de Boer btw. You can ask me all about my experiences with Psilocybin and other drugs so far.

Enjoy!

Ecstasy (XTC) is a pill that is usually a combination of MDMA and amphetamines. MDMA gives a very pleasurable feeling is light and energizing.

Serotonin

MDMA causes a temporary increase of serotonin in the brain. This increases performance and libido. MDMA also suppresses feelings of hunger, thirst and fatigue. The body temperature also warms up. The user experiences a very strong mood of cheerfulness and activity. Furthermore, people often feel a strong love and a strong emotional bond with other users.

History of the use of ecstasy

MDMA exists 100 years! In 1912 it was mentioned in an official document in Germany for the first time. This happened during a research of coagulation enhancing drugs.
In 1960 the first scientific article on MDMA was written. In the ’70s psychiatrists got interested in the effects of MDMA.

From psychiatrist to the dancefloor

Through psychiatry MDMA went to India (Goa). And the festival audience in Goa spread the MDMA to Ibiza. There it was, according to Arno Adelaars, author of the book Ecstasy (Knipscheer, Amsterdam 1991) in the summer of 1986 used during the first public outdoor holiday parties.

From there it went to London where a new, psychedelic computer music cult arose, the acid house. At the first acid house parties XTC was used. From England it spread easily to Belgium and the Netherlands. Since 1988, the drug was banned in our country.

Tripping on Ecstasy (more…)

Salvia divinorum is a relative of sage, the culinary herb. Usually, salvia is smoked. You get hallucinations of it. The trip is short and intense. Traditionally people chew on the plant. The effects lasts much longer when chewing it. The plant has been used for thousands of years by the Mazatec Indians. Their shamans used the plant to perform religious rituals.

The strongest hallucinogen

The primary active hallucinogenic substance is salvinorin A. This acts on specific receptors in the brains. Salvinorin A is the strongest known natural hallucinogen.

Salvia is often in the same group as other hallucinogens, psychoactive substances, but the effects of salvia are unique. Sometimes salvia is touted as a legal cannabis substitute. However, the effects are completely different.

The Netherlands have the most smartshops throughout Europe. A smartshop sells legal psychedelics, stimulants (energizers) and aphrodisiacs. Think of hallucinogenic cacti and various herbs, and seeds such as ephedra and guarana. Until 2008 it was also possible to buy magic mushrooms and salvia.

Hallucinogens differ mutually. Different active substances lead to different psychoactive effects. In the blog about visuals during a trip you were able to read something about it already. Each drug has its own impact on both your body and your mind.Experiences with psychedelics are also personal and depending on your mood at that moment. The following description is based on my own experiences with entheogenic drugs.

LSD (or acid) stands for the molecule Lysergic acid diethylamide. It’s a synthetic substance derived from ergot. Ergot is a mold which appears in cereals. Earlier, ergot was used by midwifes, to stimulate labour. In the late 30′s, a research was started to discover the chemical structures of ergot. Albert Hofmann (a Swiss scientist) accidentally discovered the positive effects of LSD during this research. (more…)

Some times people call magic truffles entheogens. We explain in detail what entheogens are.

Entheogens

Entheogens literally mean ‘God inside us’. Entheogens find its origin in Greece. An entheogens is a substance that is psychoactive and when you use it, it causes people to get in touch with God. Psychoactive substances as such are used for centuries, mostly in a spiritual or religious context.

In the past all entheogens where derived from plants. But with the development of chemical research, a whole range of synthetic entheogens were born. The traditional range of entheogenic substances include kykeon, ambrosia, iboga, soma and peyote among others. The synthetic substances are all created when psychoactive substances were isolated and  chemically synthesized. Examples of synthetic entheogens are DMT, salvinorin A, ibogaine. (more…)

When you search for the word mycelium in the encyclopedia you will find the following description: ”Mycelium, tissue-like mass consisting of branching hyphae, occurring in such fungi and lichens.”
But what does that description say? Therefore in this post I’ll elaborate on what mycelium exactly is and what it does for mushrooms. (more…)

You can classify drugs in three categories. Sedatives, stimulants and psychedelics. (more…)

The history of the use of so-called magic mushroom as a hallucinogen is believed to be as old as human society. The most common magic mushroom is Psilocybe semilanceata and it is often eaten raw or is dried out and stored. The dried mushrooms are used to make tea by steeping in hot water.
