Frequently asked questions
Quick, clear answers about products, shipping, legality, orders and responsible use.
Legality
Are magic truffles legal in the Netherlands and the EU?
Magic Truffles are legally and widely sold in the Netherlands. For EU shipments, the EU Mutual Recognition Regulation is relevant: goods lawfully marketed in one EU country should in principle be allowed onto the market in another EU country, although justified national restrictions are possible. We ship from the Netherlands and use our current Shipping Matrix to decide where each product is offered. Destination availability can change, so check the product page or ask our support assistant for the current situation.
How are magic mushroom grow kits legal in the Netherlands?
Magic Mushroom Grow Kits are legal to produce and sell in the Netherlands because they contain no psilocybin at the time of shipping - only mycelium in a sterile environment. As long as no mushrooms have grown yet, the kit itself is not a controlled substance.
Why are magic mushroom grow kits legal to ship internationally?
Magic Mushroom Grow Kits are shipped without psychoactive compounds. Customs checks the product at the time of import; since there is no psilocybin present, the kit is not considered illegal when it enters the country.
Are magic mushroom grow kits legal to receive elsewhere in the EU?
Our Magic Mushroom Grow Kits contain no psilocybin or other psychoactive substances when shipped or received. We ship them to all EU countries except Sweden, Lithuania and Hungary, as well as to the United Kingdom.
Are magic mushroom grow kits legal in non-EU countries like the UK or Switzerland?
We currently ship Magic Mushroom Grow Kits to the United Kingdom, but not to other non-EU destinations. Regulations can change, so always check local laws before ordering.
How are Shroom Drops (4-HO-MET) legal in the EU?
Shroom Drops contain 4-HO-MET, a research chemical. In several EU countries it is not explicitly scheduled and may be legal for research use. Laws and interpretations differ by jurisdiction; always check your local regulations before ordering or using any research chemical.
Do EU free-trade rules apply to Shroom Drops (4-HO-MET)?
No. Unlike approved food products (such as Magic Truffles), Shroom Drops are not regulated as a consumer good by food/health authorities. Therefore the EU’s Mutual Recognition framework does not apply, and we ship these products only to countries where 4-HO-MET is not controlled.
Where do you ship 1Fe-LSD and 1S-LSD?
We ship 1Fe-LSD to Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Malta, Netherlands, Portugal, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Spain and the United Kingdom. We ship 1S-LSD to Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, France, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Malta, Netherlands, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Spain and the United Kingdom.
Why is availability different for each LSD analogue?
Research chemicals are not food products, so the EU principle of free movement of goods cannot be relied upon in the same way as for truffles. We assess local legislation for each substance and destination separately. To the best of our knowledge, 1Fe-LSD and 1S-LSD are not specifically prohibited in the countries listed above. Laws can change, so always verify your local regulations. We do not ship research chemicals outside Europe.
Is the San Pedro cactus legal to buy and own in the EU?
San Pedro cuttings are legal to buy/sell as ornamental plants in the Netherlands and most of the EU. Mescaline is controlled: growing/owning the cactus is allowed, but preparation or extraction for consumption is not permitted. Always check your local laws.
Magic Truffles
Basics
How much psilocybin is in magic truffles?
Potency varies by strain. On average, fresh Magic Truffles contain ~0.85–2.5 mg psilocybin per gram. Stronger strains (e.g., Hollandia, Utopia) are at the higher end; milder strains (e.g., Mexicana) on the lower end.
What is the difference between magic truffles and magic mushrooms?
Both contain psilocybin. Magic Truffles are underground sclerotia; mushrooms are above-ground fruiting bodies. In the Netherlands, truffles are legal; mushrooms are not.
Dosing
What is a safe dosage of magic truffles for beginners?
5–7.5 g fresh = light/medium. Experienced users often take 10–15 g for a stronger trip; 15–20+ g is high. Sensitivity differs - start low and increase gradually. You can find options under Magic Truffles.
Can I microdose with magic truffles?
Yes. A typical microdose is 0.3–1 g fresh every third day. The goal is not to trip but to explore subtle benefits such as focus, creativity, and mood balance. Browse our Magic Truffles.
Effects & Duration
How long do the effects of magic truffles last?
Typically 4–7 hours depending on dose, body weight, and sensitivity. After higher doses, a pleasant “afterglow” may last for days. See Magic Truffles.
What is the best way to take magic truffles?
Chew well for fastest onset, brew into tea for a gentler start, or mix with yogurt/food to mask taste. Avoid heavy meals beforehand for better absorption. Explore our Magic Truffles.
Safety
What should I avoid when taking magic truffles?
Avoid combining with alcohol/other substances and don’t use if you feel anxious, depressed, or unsafe. Trip in a safe environment, ideally with a sober sitter. For product options, see Magic Truffles.
Are there any risks or side effects of magic truffles?
Possible effects include nausea (especially early), dilated pupils, and temperature changes. Psychological challenges can occur if mindset/setting is poor. Psilocybin is non-addictive, but responsible use is essential. Learn more in our guide and browse Magic Truffles.
Storage
How do I store magic truffles properly?
Keep unopened packs refrigerated in the original packaging and follow the date on the label. A sealed pack is usually fresh for around two months, but the label date always takes priority. Do not freeze. Products: Magic Truffles.
How long will magic truffles stay fresh?
A sealed pack usually keeps for around two months when refrigerated, but always follow the date on the label. Once opened, freshness drops faster. Do not freeze or rely on drying as a standard storage method. See Magic Truffles.
Grow Kits
How easy is it to grow magic mushrooms with a Magic Mushroom Grow Kit?
Very easy - no prior experience or extra tools needed. Place the grow box in the bag, close with paperclips, keep in indirect light. Mushrooms usually appear within 1–3 weeks.

Legal LSD (1Fe-LSD & 1S-LSD)
Why does the label say “Not for human consumption. For research only.”?
Some products, including Legal LSD products and Drops, are not sold or assessed as food products. That is why they are offered for research purposes and carry this disclaimer. The wording does not automatically mean a product is acutely dangerous, but Primal Focus cannot present consumption as approved or safe and does not provide personal dosing advice for research products.
What are 1Fe-LSD and 1S-LSD?
1Fe-LSD and 1S-LSD are LSD analogues offered as blotters and accurately dosed micro-pellets for research purposes. They are different substances, and their legal status therefore differs by country.
What is 1S-LSD and how does it work?
1S-LSD is a research chemical closely related to LSD. It functions as a pro-drug - your body may convert it into LSD after ingestion - leading to effects often described as similar to classic LSD.
Why are 150 µg 1S-LSD blotters used for research?
150 µg is a classic macrodose used to study full-spectrum psychedelic effects (visual/auditory enhancement, altered time/space perception, emotional depth, creativity). Research should be conducted carefully and never for human consumption. See our 1S-LSD.
Why choose your 1S-LSD blotters and micro-pellets?
Accurately dosed (150 µg per blotter; 10 µg per pellet), produced in a certified lab, quality-controlled, and shipped discreetly. Consistent dosage supports reliable documentation in research contexts. Browse 1S-LSD.
Where do you ship 1Fe-LSD?
Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Malta, Netherlands, Portugal, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Spain and the United Kingdom.
Where do you ship 1S-LSD?
Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, France, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Malta, Netherlands, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Spain and the United Kingdom.
Why do the destination lists differ?
To the best of our knowledge, each substance is not specifically prohibited in the destinations listed for it. EU free-movement rules cannot be relied upon for research chemicals because they are not food products. We therefore assess each substance and country separately. Regulations can change, so always check your local laws.
Key safety notes for 1S-LSD (research only)
For laboratory/scientific research only. Not for consumption. Keep away from children/animals. Do not mix with alcohol, drugs, or medications. Not suitable during pregnancy/breastfeeding or with mental-health history. Products: 1S-LSD.
Berlin Drops (4-PrO-MET)
What are Berlin Drops?
Berlin Drops contain a precisely dosed liquid solution of 4-PrO-MET. They are sold strictly for research purposes and are not intended for human consumption.
Where do you ship Berlin Drops?
Netherlands, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia, Croatia, Hungary, Romania, Greece, Ireland and Luxembourg.
Why are Berlin Drops available only in certain countries?
To the best of our knowledge, 4-PrO-MET is not specifically prohibited in the countries listed above. Because Berlin Drops are not a food product, EU free-movement rules cannot be relied upon. We assess the local legislation for every destination separately and do not ship research chemicals outside Europe. Always check your local laws before ordering.
Important disclaimer for Berlin Drops
For research purposes only. Not for human consumption. Keep away from children and animals. Information is provided solely for educational and harm-reduction purposes.
Shroom Drops (4-HO-MET)
What is in Amsterdam Shroom Drops (4-HO-MET)?
A precisely dosed liquid solution containing 4-HO-MET, a research chemical with effects similar to psilocin (the active metabolite of psilocybin). Each drop is consistent for accurate research dosing. Explore Shroom Drops.
How strong is one drop of 4-HO-MET Shroom Drops?
~1 mg per drop (≈ 1–2 g fresh truffles or 0.1–0.2 g dried mushrooms, approximated). Bottle sizes: 2 ml (~40 drops), 5 ml (~100), 15 ml (~300). Shop Shroom Drops.
Why choose 4-HO-MET Shroom Drops over solid truffles?
Consistency, neutral taste, fewer stomach issues than solid mushrooms, long shelf life (up to 12 months below 10 °C after opening), and professional lab production. Countries we ship to are listed on the product page. See our Shroom Drops.
Are 4-HO-MET Shroom Drops legal in my country?
We ship Amsterdam Drops to Croatia, Czech Republic, Greece, Ireland, Netherlands, Romania, Slovakia and Spain. To the best of our knowledge, 4-HO-MET is not specifically prohibited in these destinations. EU free-movement rules do not apply to research chemicals, so every country is assessed separately. We do not ship research chemicals outside Europe. Always verify your local laws.
Important disclaimer for Shroom Drops (4-HO-MET)
Shroom Drops are intended for research purposes only. Not for human consumption. Not reviewed/approved by food or health authorities. Information provided is for educational and harm-reduction purposes only.
San Pedro (Pachanoi) Cutting
Is San Pedro suitable for beginners?
San Pedro is often considered gentler than Peyote, but the experience can be powerful and long-lasting (8–15 hours). Beginners traditionally start low and have a sober sitter. Our cuttings are sold as ornamental plants only.
What makes San Pedro different from Peyote?
Both contain mescaline. San Pedro is usually described as smoother and less physically heavy; Peyote can feel more intense.
How long does a San Pedro cactus journey last?
Onset 1–2 hours; peak 4–6 hours; total 8–15 hours. Many describe it as long, flowing, and visionary. Learn about our San Pedro cuttings.
Fresh or dried San Pedro - what is traditional?
Traditionally consumed fresh, often boiled into tea. Some people dry to reduce volume/bitterness; potency varies from plant to plant. See San Pedro.
How do I care for my San Pedro cutting upon arrival?
Check the cut end is dry. Do not refrigerate. Store cool, dry, and shaded if not planting immediately. Let the cut end callus 1–2 weeks, then plant in well-draining cactus soil. Bright spot, avoid harsh midday sun until rooted. Product: San Pedro.
What is in San Pedro cactus - does it contain mescaline?
Yes. San Pedro (Echinopsis/Pachanoi) naturally contains mescaline alongside other alkaloids. Concentration varies by specimen and growing conditions. Read more on our San Pedro page.
Is mescaline legal if it comes from San Pedro cactus?
In most jurisdictions, mescaline is a controlled substance regardless of source. Owning ornamental San Pedro plants may be legal, but preparing, extracting, or consuming mescaline is typically prohibited. Always check your local laws.
How long do the effects of mescaline last compared to psilocybin?
Mescaline effects commonly last longer (8–15 hours) than psilocybin (4–7 hours), with a gradual onset and extended plateau. Individual duration varies with dose, set & setting, and metabolism. See San Pedro.
What are the potential risks of mescaline use?
Potential nausea, elevated heart rate, and challenging psychological content. Screening for set & setting, physical health, and medications is essential in any harm-reduction context.
Important disclaimer for San Pedro cactus
Sold strictly as an ornamental plant. Not for preparation, extraction, or consumption. Information is provided for educational and harm-reduction purposes only. Product page: San Pedro.
Functional Mushrooms & Coffee
Which functional mushroom should I choose?
It depends on what you are looking for. Lion's Mane is commonly chosen for focus and mental clarity, Cordyceps for energy and performance, while Reishi and Chaga are often chosen as part of a broader wellness routine. Mushroom Coffee combines an everyday coffee routine with functional mushroom ingredients. Experiences vary and these products are not intended to diagnose or treat medical conditions.
Can I use functional mushrooms as part of a daily routine?
Yes. These products are designed as straightforward wellness products for regular use. Follow the label instructions for the specific product. If you use medication or have a medical condition, ask a healthcare professional if you are unsure whether a supplement is suitable for you.
Macrodosing
What is a ‘macrodose’ of psilocybin truffles?
A macrodose is a full psychedelic dose that can temporarily alter perception, senses, and consciousness. Depending on your body weight, sensitivity, and experience, an average macrodose ranges between 10 and 15 grams of fresh Magic Truffles.

What should I do if I feel overwhelmed during a truffle trip?
Feeling intense emotions or visuals is normal during a trip. The best things you can do are:
- Breathe deeply and stay calm
- Remind yourself it’s temporary
- Surrender to the experience rather than resisting it
- Use calming music or a blanket
Is it safe to take magic truffles alone?
We advise against tripping alone, especially if it’s your first time. Having a trusted sober friend (trip sitter) with you greatly improves both safety and comfort.
📘 Our guide (PDF) offers practical advice; products: Magic Truffles.
What is the difference between microdosing and macrodosing truffles?
- Microdosing = sub-perceptual doses for focus, creativity, and mood
- Macrodosing = full psychedelic experience with visual, emotional, and spiritual effects
Microdosing
How do I start microdosing with magic truffles or LSD analogues?
We advise to follow the 'Fadiman Protocol' in the beginning. To fully harness the positive effects of microdosing, follow a structured approach. Begin by defining your goals and intentions, and keep a brief journal of daily observations and mood to fine-tune your regimen. Ensure you are adequately rested before you start. Products: Magic Truffles and 1S-LSD.
Can you microdose and drive a car safely?
While it may be feasible, we advise against driving when taking a microdose for the first time or if you suspect you’ve taken too much. At the appropriate dose, some report improved focus and visual acuity; if effects feel strong, do not participate in traffic.
Can you microdose and work out effectively?
Microdosing may provide a cognitive boost and heightened body awareness that some athletes find helpful (concentration, coordination, balance, reflexes, and “flow state”). Aftereffects can include clarity and relaxation.
Can you microdose and drink alcohol?
It’s technically possible, but we advise against it - alcohol can diminish potential benefits. Prefer taking microdoses when sober.
Can I microdose if I have ADHD?
Evidence is not conclusive. Some report benefits for focus, creativity, and mood. Consider personal responsibility and consult your healthcare professional before starting; do your own research if you proceed.
Can I microdose alongside taking ADHD medication?
Research such as this prospective naturalistic study suggests some adults self-medicate while on ADHD meds. We are not medical professionals; consult your provider for personal advice.
Can you microdose while on antibiotics?
We strongly recommend postponing microdosing until after completing antibiotics. Mixing substances can affect neurotransmission and immune response and may lead to discomfort. If you still choose to proceed, consult your doctor first and stay well-hydrated.
Is microdosing harmful during pregnancy?
There is no conclusive clinical research proving safety. Given the sensitive nature of pregnancy, many choose to avoid potential risks. Consider carefully and consult a healthcare professional.
When should you stop microdosing?
Use mindfully with regular breaks. Stop if adverse effects occur or once goals are reached; like any cognitive enhancer, microdosing should be used responsibly, in moderate doses.
