Legal Status of Psychedelics
Overview
The legal status of psychedelics like psilocybin, MDMA, and LSD varies across the USA and Canada. While federally controlled, some states and cities have decriminalized personal use, and others allow therapeutic access.
United States
Psilocybin is decriminalized in cities like Denver, Oakland, and Seattle, and states like Oregon and Colorado allow regulated therapeutic use. Federal law still classifies psychedelics as Schedule I, but bills in states like California and New Mexico propose further reform. Psilocybin Decriminalization in the United States - Wikipedia
