Please read this disclaimer carefully before participating in our psilocybin retreat. By choosing to take part, you are acknowledging and agreeing to the information provided below.
Legal Status of Psilocybin: In Portugal, the use of psilocybin, a naturally occurring psychedelic compound found in certain mushrooms, is decriminalized. However, it is important to note that decriminalization does not mean legalization. Misuse of the substance or involvement in its sale can still lead to legal consequences.
Risks and Benefits: Psilocybin has been associated with numerous therapeutic benefits such as alleviating anxiety, depression, and PTSD symptoms. However, like any substance, it also carries potential risks. These may include psychological distress, changes in perception, and in rare cases, the triggering of latent mental health conditions. It is essential to approach its use with respect and caution.
Staff Qualifications: Our retreat staff are well-trained and experienced in facilitating psilocybin experiences. They are not, however, medical professionals. The advice and guidance provided during the retreat should not replace professional medical advice.
Physical and Medical Requirements: Participants must be at least 18 years old. Prior to the retreat, we recommend consulting with your healthcare provider about the appropriateness of psilocybin use considering your physical and mental health history. If you have a history of psychosis, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or severe heart conditions, you should not use psilocybin.
Misuse of Substance: Misuse of psilocybin can lead to serious psychological and physical harm. It is crucial to follow the guidelines provided by the retreat staff regarding dosage and context of use.
Management of Psilocybin Use: During the retreat, psilocybin will be administered in a controlled, safe environment under the supervision of trained facilitators. This setting is designed to help maximize the benefits and minimize the risks associated with psilocybin use.
