Federal law
Psilocybin and psilocin remain in Schedule I. State legalization, regulated-access laws, and local enforcement-priority measures do not change federal law. No psilocybin product was FDA-approved as of this review date; research designations and clinical-trial permissions are not approval.
Crossing state lines, entering federal property, or mailing psilocybin can bring federal jurisdiction into conduct that a state may otherwise protect.
03
Michigan: local priority changes are not legalization
Michigan continues to classify psilocybin and psilocin as Schedule I. There is no statewide licensed retail or service framework. Several local policies affect municipal priorities or county charging decisions, but they do not amend state law.
| Location | Status | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Michigan statewide | Illegal under state law | Possession, use, manufacture, and sale remain prohibited. |
| Ann Arbor | Local enforcement deprioritized | A September 21, 2020 resolution made specified entheogenic matters the city’s lowest law-enforcement priority. It does not authorize crimes. |
| Washtenaw County | County charging policy | The prosecutor’s 2021 policy generally declines specified use, possession, and cultivation cases, with exceptions. It creates no enforceable right. |
| Detroit | Local enforcement deprioritized | Proposal E, approved November 2, 2021, makes adult personal possession and therapeutic use a lowest priority to the extent state law allows. |
| Hazel Park | Local enforcement deprioritized | A March 22, 2022 resolution changed city priority. It did not legalize retail; a 2026 court opinion documents enforcement and a retailer license revocation. |
| Ferndale | Resolution of support | A February 27, 2023 resolution supports entheogenic plant practices. Treat it as deprioritization, not legalization. |
04
Colorado: state-protected personal use and licensed services
Adults 21 and older have protections under state law for certain possession, consumption, cultivation, and sharing without payment, subject to limits. Public use, impaired driving, and unauthorized commercial sale remain prohibited. Property owners may restrict activity on their property.
Regulated psilocybin services operate through licensed healing centers and facilitators. A 2026 bill concerning limited regulated sales was signed June 4 but does not take effect until August 12, 2026, so it is not described here as current law.
05
Oregon: supervised access, not dispensary sales
Adults 21 and older can access psilocybin through licensed services without Oregon residency, a prescription, or a medical referral. A preparation session is required, the product is purchased and consumed during an administration session at a licensed service center, and integration must be offered.
Products cannot be taken off-site. Oregon has not created ordinary dispensary sales or broad recreational possession. Its former broad decriminalization policy for low-level drug possession is no longer current.
06
What a local policy does not protect
- It does not change federal law or automatically prevent state enforcement.
- It does not create a legal retail market or product-quality rules.
- It does not bind every police, prosecutor, employer, landlord, licensing board, school, or federal agency.
- It does not remove possible immigration, custody, housing, employment, or professional-license consequences.
FAQ
Common questions
Is psilocybin legal in Ann Arbor?+
No. Ann Arbor made specified entheogenic activity a lowest local enforcement priority. Michigan and federal prohibitions remain, and the policy does not authorize retail sales or bind every agency.
Can adults buy take-home psilocybin in Oregon?+
No. Oregon’s state framework uses licensed service centers, a preparation session, supervised administration on site, and an offered integration session. It is not a dispensary model.
Does Colorado allow commercial sales?+
Colorado protects certain adult personal-use activity and operates licensed supervised services. Ordinary unlicensed commercial sale remains prohibited, and federal law still applies.
