Hollandia truffels | 15 gram

Productreview (ingestuurd op 13 augustus 2020):

First of all... Excellent service! Fast and discreet delivery.

This was my first trip and it changed my life. I've started microdosing the past months, but never had a real trip before.

I decided to try this experience after reading "The Psychedelic Explorer's Guide" by James (Jim) Fadiman. My main take away from this book was the importance of set and setting.

SET

I've been meditating for at least 15 years. One of the things it taught me, is the power of setting an intention. This is what I did before I ate the truffel.

SETTING

I was alone at home for a full day and night (a rare occasion). My wife and kids had left a day early for a weekend with friends.

I used a sleeping mask and lay on my bed, listening to a Spotify playlist with instrumental music.

EXPERIENCE

I set my intention, ate the truffels, meditated while waiting for the effects to start. This took more than half an hour.

Then I noticed I started to respond to the music differently so I lay down in bed. There were some mild visuals behind my closed eyelids and I thought: "Is that all?"

But what soon followed were hours of pure bliss, great sadness, tears, tremendous love, gratitude, mild visuals, ego dissolution, strong responses to music... Too much to bring into words here.

Discovering that I have the capacity to feel so much love and gratitude was the huge gift that I got from this trip. A lot of doubts about myself and my place in the world have been shattered to pieces.

Wow!

I ate the truffles around 9 AM (the taste is OK), landed around 3 PM and then ate "breakfast" and took a walk.

The only negative thing was a headache that got worse over the hours after the trip. It lasted till morning. I almost never get headaches, so I read up on this, and it seems to happen to many people. Next time I will try eating eggs after a trip. That seems to be the best tip that I found.

Apart from that: one of the best experiences in my life!
