Microdosing is completely legal in The Netherlands because magic truffles (Psilocybe Tampanensis) grow out of the ground. Due to this natural process, the firmer and drier psychedelic fungus is not seen as a mushroom and therefore does not fall under the mushroom law.
However, with their entry on list 2 of the Opium Act, magic mushrooms (not truffles) are prohibited to grow, sell, or buy in the Netherlands. This is because the chemical compounds in the two natural products, ‘psilocin’ and ‘psilocybin’, are on list 1 of the Opium Act.
