Mushroom Law in the United States

Out of over 10,000 species of mushrooms that populate our lawns, forests, and grocery stores, a select few are controlled substances in many parts of the United States. Psilocybin mushrooms, often known as “magic mushrooms,” are one such species. Containing the psychoactive compound psilocybin, these mushrooms can induce hallucinations and a shift in perception when consumed, making them a popular, albeit illegal, recreational drug. Various states have started to acknowledge the possible therapeutic benefits of psilocybin, particularly for treatment-resistant depression and anxiety. As a result, laws governing the possession, use, and sale of these magical fungi are evolving. Understanding the legal status of psilocybin mushrooms in each state not only helps those interested in consuming or selling them to navigate legal complexities but also reflects altering perceptions of drug use and mental health care treatment across the U.S.

  • The vast majority of states deem psilocybin mushrooms illegal, with only Oregon having fully decriminalized them, making it the most lenient state in terms of mushroom law.
  • There are a handful of states with selective decriminalization in certain municipalities. These include Michigan, Massachusetts, Colorado, California, and Washington.
  • Despite psilocybin’s decriminalization in certain areas, no state has moved to fully legalize the substance. The commercial sale of psilocybin remains illegal everywhere, reflecting ongoing caution and stigma regarding its use.
  • Even within states where psilocybin remains illegal, some are starting to explore its potential benefits. For instance, Connecticut has established a specific task force to research psilocybin and Texas has sanctioned a study on its potential role in post-traumatic stress disorder treatment.
