“I’M NOT MUCH OF A SMOKER OR DRINKER, AND THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I TRIED SOMETHING OTHER THAN WEED, SO I THINK I WAS EXPECTING ALL OF THESE CRAZY THINGS TO HAPPEN. I DID GIGGLE A LOT.”
-RUSSELL PETERS
NWA may have mentioned something about not getting high on your own supply in the song Dopeman, but when you’re the chief creative officer (CCO) of Red Light Holland, a brand of magic truffles, all late ’80s rap song advice goes out the window.
Red Light Holland is an Ontario, Canada-based psilocybin truffle company that produces and sells magic truffles on the Dutch market. While the Netherlands banned the sale of hallucinogenic mushrooms in 2007, many smartshops still sell magic truffles. Both contain the active psychedelic component, psilocybin, but grow differently. Magic truffles grow underground, and mushrooms grow above ground.
When CEO and former broadcaster Todd Shapiro started Red Light Holland, he assembled a, which he co-produced, and was named Canadian Comedy Person of the Year. No biggie. When Peters stepped into his role at Red Light Holland as CCO, he soon realized there was no time like the present and became a client of the psychedelic experience.
