Jens writes for Avalon Magic Plants about smartshop products, cultivation techniques and harm reduction. He has been active in the field for six years and works factually and with sources, without hype or vague promises.
His articles cover topics such as growing mushrooms and truffles, kratom, ayahuasca, salvia divinorum, kanna, CBD and microdosing. Where a product is psychoactive, harm reduction is part of the deal as standard: dosage information, set and setting, and what to do if things go wrong.
Areas of expertise
Jens's articles span six main themes, each with its own focus on how things work, safety and practical use.
Growing magic truffles & mushrooms
From beginner guides for grow kits to explanations of Psilocybe cubensis, spore prints and the right growing conditions, including microdosing with truffles.
Kratom
The differences between green, red and white vein, how mitragynine works, dosage guidelines and interactions with other substances.
Ayahuasca & psychedelic plants
Ingredients such as Banisteriopsis caapi, salvia divinorum, LSA seeds and mescaline cacti, with attention to traditional use and the risks of self-experimentation.
Kanna & herbs
Sceletium tortuosum and other botanicals: how they work, traditional use in South Africa, forms of use and where the science currently stands.
CBD
What research does and does not show about cannabidiol, how to recognise quality and the legal framework around THC content in the Netherlands.
Microdosing
What peer-reviewed research shows so far, which questions are still open and how to approach dosing protocols for truffles and mushrooms responsibly.
Why factual smartshop information matters
Reliable information about psychedelics and smartshop products is scarce, and what exists varies widely in quality. Jens writes from the conviction that anyone considering these products is entitled to complete information: what the product does, how it works, what a safe dose is, which substances to be careful with and when it is better to wait.
How Jens works
In six years in the field, Jens has seen which misconceptions keep coming back and which questions customers really care about. Those real-world questions are the starting point for new articles, so every text fills a genuine information gap rather than rehashing existing pages.
Sources and substantiation
Sources used
Wherever possible, Jens draws on peer-reviewed research (PubMed, PMC), official government sources such as the Dutch Opium Act and the NVWA, and established harm-reduction organisations. For articles about psychoactive products, the literature used is traceable. That transparency is not an afterthought but a requirement for content on these topics.
About Avalon Magic Plants
