Legal Information

Psilocybin remains classified as a Schedule I controlled substance under the United States Controlled Substances Act and is similarly restricted in many countries worldwide. This classification indicates that it is currently considered to have a high potential for abuse and no accepted medical use, according to federal law.

However, the legal landscape is rapidly evolving. Several jurisdictions in the United States have moved to decriminalize or deprioritize enforcement regarding personal possession of psilocybin and other psychedelic substances, including:

• Oregon (legalized supervised therapeutic use statewide)
• Colorado (decriminalized statewide)
• Cities including Denver, Oakland, Santa Cruz, Ann Arbor, Washington D.C., Seattle, and several others

Internationally, countries including Portugal, the Netherlands, Jamaica, and several others have varying policies that may permit personal use, religious use, or therapeutic applications under specific circumstances.

Research with psilocybin is permitted under controlled conditions with appropriate licenses and approvals from regulatory authorities like the FDA in the United States, which has granted "breakthrough therapy" designation to psilocybin-assisted therapy for treatment-resistant depression and major depressive disorder.

Important Note: Legal information provided here is general in nature and subject to change. Laws regarding psilocybin vary significantly by jurisdiction and are evolving rapidly. This information should not be considered legal advice. We strongly recommend consulting with a legal professional regarding the specific laws in your location.
