Short answer: In the Netherlands, BIG-registered therapists may not offer psilocybin, LSD, or MDMA as regular mental healthcare outside approved research or another specific legal basis. Working with truffles is not a regular GGZ treatment. A BIG professional can take part in non-medical psychedelic activities only outside their BIG role and with a clear, provable […]
