Understanding Psychedelics
Psilocybin has been used for thousands of years in spiritual and healing ceremonies. Ancient tribes in Mesoamerica referred to them as “teonanácatl” — “flesh of the gods.”
In modern times, psilocybin was first isolated in 1958 by Albert Hofmann, the same chemist who discovered LSD.
Truffles (sclerotia) later gained attention in the Netherlands as a legal alternative to mushrooms after the 2008 ban — and have since become the centerpiece of safe, guided psychedelic exploration worldwide.
