Are magic mushroom drops legal in the Netherlands and Europe?
The question “are magic mushroom drops legal?” is being asked more and more often. This makes sense: magic mushroom drops are often compared to magic mushrooms and magic truffles, but legally fall into a different category. This creates a lot of confusion about the law.
In this article we clearly explain how the legislation around magic mushroom drops works in the Netherlands and Europe. You can read what determines whether magic mushroom drops are legal, how they are legally assessed and what you should consider when buying or shipping them.
Why is the legality of magic mushroom drops sometimes unclear?
Magic mushroom drops do not fit into the traditional categories for which many drug laws were originally written. Namely, they are:
no magic mushrooms
no truffles
No classical drugs such as MDMA or LSD
liquid and concentrated
based on modern synthetic compounds
Because legislation is often based on existing resources, legal gray areas frequently arise with new substances. This is especially true for products sold as research chemicals.
What determines whether magic mushroom drops are legal?
Within Europe, there is no uniform legislation for magic mushroom drops. Each country decides for itself how to deal with new psychoactive substances (NPS). In practice, countries usually use one or more of the following systems.
1. Specific lists of prohibited substances
Some countries ban only substances that are literally mentioned in the law. New variants may therefore temporarily fall outside existing bans.
2. Group or substance class legislation
Other countries ban entire groups of chemicals. If a new substance is very similar to an existing banned compound, it may automatically fall under the same legislation.
3. Functional or contextual assessment.
Some countries look not only at the chemical structure, but also at: the action of a substance, how the product is presented or its intended use.
This approach can vary from situation to situation and sometimes creates differences in interpretation from country to country.
Are magic mushroom drops legal in the Netherlands?
Magic mushroom drops are currently legal in the Netherlands. Recently, several whole substance groups have been banned, think of substances such as 2-MMC or synthetic cannabinoids.
The group that 4-HO-MET falls under is the “Tryptamine” group, this is the same group as natural magic mushrooms and truffles. The Tryptamines have been spared for now (fortunately). Unfortunately, of course, this may change in the future, which is why we are closely on laws and regulations.
Magic mushroom drops are currently considered a legally available research product in the Netherlands. This means that it may be sold for research purposes.
What about Europe then?
Within Europe, what is allowed in the Netherlands may be judged differently elsewhere.
Key points of interest:
shipping is cross-border
customs may have their own interpretations
countries vary widely in enforcement
Therefore, we also do not ship to countries where 4-HO-MET is banned. Wondering if your country is among them? Check out our frequently asked questions about shipping!
What about the active ingredients in magic mushroom drops?
Research shows that most Magic mushroom drops do not contain Psilocybin from mushrooms, but a synthetic related compound such as 4-HO-MET or 4-PR-MET.
These substances:
are not natural mushrooms like magic mushrooms or magic truffles (scletoria)
have their own chemical structure
are not legally automatically covered by existing magic mushroom or magic truffle legislation
Because legislation varies by substance and formulation, the legal status may change in the future. Developments are therefore closely monitored by us.

In short, Magic Drops with 4-HO-MET/4-PR-MET are legal and magic mushroom drops made from magic mushrooms or truffles containing Psilocybin are illegal.
