After years of demonization and criminalization, psychedelics are experiencing a renaissance among researchers and individuals. Psilocybin is currently the most widely studied psychedelic substance, and shows potential in treating a range of psychiatric disorders (like depression, addiction, eating disorders, PTSD). Stan Grof, a Czech-American psychiatrist, admitted that psychedelics are to psychiatry what a microscope is to biology and a telescope is to astronomy.
The Netherlands is one of the few countries where the possession and sale of small quantities of psychedelic truffles is legal. Also, they can be legally used for therapy and personal development.
I document the landscape of legal psychedelic events in the Netherlands.
