The Dutch Dragon, also known as Psilocybe Naranja, is a bright orange truffle that is only available in a limited edition. It was specially created for the Dutch King's Day and is characterized above all by its very strong visual impact. If you are new to Magic Mushrooms truffles, you should slowly approach the orange dragon first. It causes very intense trips and produces a strong feeling of happiness and euphoria depending on your previous mood. It is important that you follow the instructions for use for this type of truffle. The Dutch Dragon is mainly consumed in the Netherlands and is very popular here at parties and events with many people, as its psychedelic effects are easy to control and only come on gradually.
When dosing the Dutch Dragon, you should first approach it slowly. If you want a mild effect, start with an amount of 5 to 7 grams. If you like it rather strong, then the standard dose is 10 grams and for an overwhelming experience 15 grams is just right. Otherwise, as with all other magic truffles, you should only take Psilocybe Naranja when you are in a good mood. Scary horror trips are rare with this type of truffle, but it can't be ruled out here either. Also look for an environment that you know well, in which you feel comfortable and invite someone who stays sober during this time and who has had similar experiences themselves. You have various options when preparing the Dutch Dragon truffle. You can eat the Psilocybe Naranja truffle raw and well chewed on an empty stomach. But beware, it is not a culinary highlight in terms of taste. Alternatively, you can make a tea from it by chopping the mushroom very finely, pouring boiling water over it, and letting it steep for 20 minutes. It can also be used in a soup or other dishes, but you should not cook it, otherwise the effect will diminish. The combination with too much sugar also has a negative effect on the strength of the trip. Duration of effect, strength and how quickly the truffle hits vary from person to person. The high starts no later than an hour after ingestion and lasts for 4-7 hours. But you're only really sober again after 15 hours. It is best to keep the Dutch Dragon in a cool, dark and dry place. If it is still sealed in its original packaging, it can be kept for up to 30 days. If you want to keep it longer, you can gently dry the Psilocybe Naranja truffle at a low temperature in the oven or in the dehydrator.
A high of Psilocybe Naranja feels different for everyone. First of all, it amplifies the emotions you were feeling before taking it. So if you're in a good mood, you'll feel great afterwards. If you are rather stressed, it can intensify this feeling or have a relaxing effect. Taken in smaller doses, you feel relaxed and in good spirits. Interacting with other people is then still possible. If you choose a higher dosage then the Dutch Dragon truffle will cause hallucinations.
If you want to consume the Psilocybe Naranja, you should of course handle it responsibly. So be sure to keep it where children can't get to it and its use is only recommended for people over the age of 18. You may only drive a car, take part in other traffic or operate heavy machinery once you are completely sober. The Dutch Dragon must not be taken together with alcohol, drugs or medication and women who are pregnant, want to become pregnant or are breastfeeding should avoid consumption. Since the orange truffle increases the emotions experienced, people suffering from depression, anxiety disorders and other mental illnesses should not take the mushroom. But if you handle the Dutch Dragon sensibly and slowly approach the dosage that is right for you, the magic truffle can give you a few unforgettable hours.
