Psilocybin retreats in the Netherlands

3 psilocybin centres in the Netherlands, listed because the substance they serve is legal there. This is a short list we have compiled so far from public sources, not every operator in the Netherlands. Nothing operating underground is listed, however good its reputation.

Is psilocybin legal in the Netherlands?

Legal · Psilocybin (truffles)

Sclerotia, sold as 'truffles', remain legal; dried mushrooms were banned in 2008.

The 2008 ban covered fresh and dried psilocybin mushrooms but not sclerotia, the underground part of the same organism. Dutch retreats therefore serve truffles. The distinction is legally real but often blurred in marketing. A centre advertising 'mushrooms' in the Netherlands is describing something the ban covers.
