Plain facts
Where psilocybin stands in the US
Psilocybin is illegal under federal law, a few states run licensed programs, and nothing on this site says ordering is legal where you live. Here are the facts, with sources.
Updated November 7, 2026
Federal law
Psilocybin and psilocin are Schedule I controlled substances under the federal Controlled Substances Act, the most restricted category. They have been since the Act was signed on October 27, 1970. 21 CFR 1308.11
An executive order signed April 18, 2026 told the Attorney General to start reviewing Schedule I products that have finished Phase 3 trials for serious mental illness, so that any the FDA approves can be rescheduled quickly. No psilocybin product has been approved or rescheduled as of the date at the top of this page. Executive Order 14401
States with licensed programs
Oregon and Colorado run facilitator-supervised use, mainly at licensed centers, and New Mexico’s medical program isn’t running yet. None of them allows buying psilocybin online, and none changes federal law.
Measure 109, passed November 2020
Adults 21 and over can take psilocybin at a licensed service center with a licensed facilitator, after a preparation session. No prescription is needed. Oregon announced its first licensed service center on May 5, 2023.
Proposition 122, passed November 2022
The Natural Medicine Health Act set up licensed healing centers for adults 21 and over, with sessions supervised by a licensed facilitator. The state issued its first healing center license on March 31, 2025. Colorado law also lets adults 21 and over possess, grow and share natural medicine for personal use without payment. That doesn’t allow selling it, and it remains illegal under federal law.
The Medical Psilocybin Act, signed April 7, 2025
A medical program for qualifying patients, run by the state Department of Health. The department’s target is to have it running by December 31, 2026, and the law requires it by December 31, 2027.
City “low priority” policies
Some cities have voted to make psilocybin a low priority for local police. That can change how often people are arrested, but it doesn’t make buying or selling psilocybin legal under state or federal law.
What this means for you
We won’t pretend this is simpler than it is. We can’t tell you that ordering psilocybin is legal where you live, and under federal law it isn’t. If you choose to order, you’re responsible for knowing and following the laws that apply to you.
This page explains the law in general terms and isn’t legal advice. For advice about your situation, please talk with a lawyer licensed where you live. We sell only to adults 21 and older.
Short, honest answers.
Legal questions
Is psilocybin legal in the United States?
Not under federal law. Psilocybin and psilocin are Schedule I controlled substances. A few states run licensed, supervised programs, but those programs don’t change federal law and don’t cover buying mushrooms or capsules online.
Can I legally order psilocybin online?
We can’t tell you that it’s legal where you live, and under federal law it isn’t. You’re responsible for knowing and following the laws that apply to you. This page isn’t legal advice.
Which states allow psilocybin?
Oregon and Colorado run licensed programs where adults 21 and over can take psilocybin at a licensed center with a trained facilitator. New Mexico has passed a medical program that isn’t operating yet.
Does decriminalization in my city make it legal?
No. Some cities have voted to make psilocybin a low enforcement priority. That doesn’t make buying or selling it legal under state or federal law.
