Amsterdam Truffles
No. 1 Mexicana
The “weakest” species among the four known Sclerotia. The Mexicana was found in Oaxaca, Mexico and is commercially grown for its fast fruit body forming abilities. the Mexican kicks in slowly and makes you wanna sing La Cucaracha and play your Maracas. The friendly nature of this sclerotia makes the trip a mild experience and perfect for beginners.
EFFECTS
Colors will become more intense. Your surroundings will overlap each other. You will see music, hear a photo or smell a color. Your mood may be significantly affected. Someone who has taken truffles may look strange to others. Feeling and perceptions are sometimes strange and unreal. Truffles contain psilocybin and psilocin, which influence the mind. The neurochemicals affected are serotonin and dopamine. Seratonin is an important mood controller. Dopamine regulates, among other things, powers of intellect and aids in the processing of information by the brain.
DOSING
To experience a light effect 7.5 grams are recommended. 10 grams is a standard dose of truffles while 15 grams is considered to be a strong dose. When someone takes a low dose of truffles visuals are like watching a movie. Visuals are there but distant. When somebody takes a medium dose you start playing the starring role, you are inside the movie. Visuals surround you. When you take a high dose you can be the actor, director, and producer at once. You can see whatever you can imagine and even more. After usage, the body builds up a tolerance for about 24 hours that decreases the effects (between 10% and 20% less effective).
PREPARATION
Preparation makes the trip better. Taking on an empty stomach increases
the effect. Avoid fast food during the day. You can eat truffles raw, make tea or put them in ice cream- as cold can numb the taste buds. Also, the setting for a good trip is very important. We strongly advise taking the truffles in nature such as a park, forest or at the beach.
"There's mold on my truffles!"
Because our truffles are fresh and not vacuum sealed, it can happen that a white 'fluff' grows on the truffles. This is harmless and actually healthy. The truffle forms new mycelium and so it is its own fungus that you see. This happens due to a lack of gas exchange, which increases the CO2 content in the container. Shake the jar until the white hairs are gone. The truffles can be kept refrigerated at 2 to 4 degrees Celsius for a month.
WARNINGS
Do not use in combination with soft/hard drugs or alcohol because it stimulates paranoia/bad trips. Don’t use when pregnant, suffering from psychosis or depression, under medication, driving or operating sensitive/ dangerous equipment, under legal age.
BAD TRIP
1 Do not panic
2 Close your eyes.
3 Take a deep breath, relax your body and your mind
4 Focus your attention on a particular smell or sound
5 Take sugar and vitamin C to decrease your cortisol. High cortisol is stress, fury and sadness.
6 Hugging can relieve distress, a bad trip causes elevated levels of oxytocin, a hormone that plays an important role in connecting social contacts with feelings of pleasure.
7 Don't forget it will pass.

Truffles are checked in the Netherlands by the Health Inspector, who ensures that there is no danger or health risks for the population, which we as When Nature Calls only emphasize. Truffles are legally grown in the Netherlands and can therefore be shipped to all EU countries under the Mutual Recognition of Goods Principle of the European Commission.
In the Netherlands, truffles are covered by the NVWA, which will monitor and control them together with the Ministry of Health. When Nature Calls therefore only sells quality products that come directly from the nursery of the famous "Truffle brothers". This is the only farm in the truffle industry to be HACCP certified, short for hazard analysis and critical control points, a risk inventory for food products responsible for protecting and promoting public health through food safety control and supervision. These truffles are 100% Vegan, none-GMO. The nursery also does not use gamma radiation, pesticides, heavy metals or other chemical growth agents. Pure organic!!!
