Psilocybin retreats are very popular right now. But what exactly is psilocybin?
This naturally-occurring molecule can be found in many species of mushroom (fungus). For more than 9,000 years, humans have made use of certain mushrooms for their psychoactive properties, sending them on psychedelic journeys.
But there’s nothing magic about that… In fact, psilocybin simply acts on serotonin receptors in the brain.
This is a highly symbolic process that aims to establish a primary spiritual connection between the participant and the psychedelic substance they’re about to take.
On the contrary, researchers are interested in how psilocybin could help combat addiction problems (Time.com).
For users who don’t suffer with any psychiatric disorders, these symptoms are temporary.
Patients taking neuroleptics or antidepressants are also encouraged to speak to their doctor to get a personalized opinion. Finally, women are not allowed to participate during pregnancy and/or breastfeeding.
However, you can consider driving again once your body has purged the molecule (12 to 16 hours after consumption).
A word of warning, though, Tangerine Retreat does not in any way offer therapeutic treatment for mental illnesses.
Some antidepressants can increase the quantities of serotonin available in the body. In some rare cases, if serotonin levels are too high, people can suffer from serotonin syndrome.
Likewise, if you’re currently being treated for high blood pressure or for kidney deficiencies, it is best to avoid taking any psychoactive substances.

Tangerine Retreat would never suggest that you stop your current treatment. It is essential to consult one or several doctors in your home country in order to get a professional opinion.
Be careful, though: if you have recently been vaccinated against or infected with the virus, you should wait four weeks before embarking on any psychedelic experience.
In this case, we do not advise you take part in a Tangerine Retreat. Please contact your doctor for medical advice.
In the Netherlands, the sale and consumption of truffles is totally legal. However, this only applies to the cap or the stem of the mushroom. Also, the Dutch authorities recommend the utmost caution around the supposed medical effects of psilocybin.
Jamaica also has an open policy when it comes to psilocybin. Selling and using all available parts of the mushroom is legal, and large-scale production takes place within the country.
In 1966, the United States began limiting the use of psychedelics.
It initiated the creation of a United Nations treaty, signed by 180 countries, that moved to ban production, distribution, and consumption of several psychedelics around the world. This ban still limits the experiments scientists can carry out on these substances today.
Wherever you live, Tangerine Retreat does not sell truffles to take away. We believe that the truffle should be taken in a relaxing environment under the supervision of professionals.
