Hi, I don't know if here is the correct section of the forum but anyway.. next week I will be in Amsterdam and I hope to try magic truffles. I've never try psychedelic and other "drugs", but i smoke marijuana regularly without problem. My question is: What type of truffles and how much you advise for me? I prefer visuals effect. A lot of people advice me Atlantis or Hollandia half box/10gr is ok for me? Thanks a lot, have a nice day to all!

This might be useful - FAQ on an Amsterdam-related message board about tripping on magic truffles (sclerotia): Sclerotia FAQ
Some of the info on there (dosage advice and range of products) needs a bit of updating, but most of it still applies.
When choosing the dose, there is a bewildering variety of different names and different strengths. Normally I prefer the McSmart products which are sold in various smartshops.
They divide their products into a range which is supposed to be from mild to very strong:
Tampanensis (milder) 10g or 15g Mexicana 10g or 15g Atlantis 10g, 15g, 20g Mushrocks 15g Dragon's Dynamite 15g or 20g High Hawaiians (strongest) 22g
10g of Tampanensis, Mexicana or Atlantis will probably be very mild without much in the way of visual effects. At 15g it feels more like something is definitely happening. If it's your first trip I'd avoid the Mushrocks/Dragon's Dynamite/High Hawaiians which are a bit stronger.
I'd probably recommend eating 10 or 15g of Atlantis. 10g would be a mild trip, more suitable if you are going to be outdoors or in a social situation. 15g might be enough for a few more interesting visual effects but is not ideal for wandering around a city. To be honest the potency can vary quite a lot so it's a bit difficult to give accurate dosage advice (for example sometimes 10g of tampanensis or mexicana is so weak it's a waste of time). The best visuals will be with your eyes closed.
The staff in the smartshops are usually quite helpful, they can tell you which products are stronger or weaker and hopefully sell you something appropriate. If you're going to be wandering around and need to be reasonably functional I'd stick to a 10g dose. If you are going to be chilling out somewhere calm, like a hotel room, then 15g would give you more of a worthwhile experience. If the trip feels a bit weak then smoking weed should give it a boost.
P.S There are good reports of Hollandia truffles, but these seem to be mostly from stuff bought on mail-order websites. In Amsterdam the only Hollandia I've seen to try wasn't particularly good.
Anyway, most of these names are fictitious, in reality there are only a handful of different types of sclerotia; most of the difference in potency is down to cultivation time.
Enjoy Amsterdam, don't do anything I wouldn't do.

I'm undecided between 15g of atlantis or 10g of mushrocks. I think I'll follow back my impression when i'll stay there! But anyway Thank you very much for your helpful post!

The only truffles I did were Atlantis and I do recommend them if you want to achieve mega-bliss. But they weren't visual at all.
I personally advise people not to focus on visuals but other effects.

I ate 3/4 pack of Atlantis and had one of top 3 most blissful trips ever, hardly any visuals. Sharp vision though. They aren't very strong, you can easily eat the whole pack. Dosages on www smart shops are exaggerated.
