Psilocybin legal status, legislation & access — 2025

State status
Regulated access
Federal scheduling
Schedule I
Key legislation
Measure 109 (2020)
Last reviewed
June 2026

State-level frameworks do not change federal controlled-substance status.

Status depends on the activity: possession, supervised administration, sale, transport, cultivation, research, and service provision may be treated differently.

What local context does not answer

Local context can explain policy history, state rules, city ordinances, public-health resources, and community support. It cannot determine whether a substance is safe, effective, lawful for a specific person, available through a specific channel, or appropriate for any individual.

Is it legal for me? Legal status depends on substance, activity, jurisdiction, date, and official source.
Can I buy it? Commercial access is separate from legal status and is not addressed here.
Is it safe? Safety depends on medical history, medications, psychiatric risk, dose, and context.
Does it work? Efficacy requires controlled outcome evidence, not location.
Is a source reliable? Source reliability requires independent verification and quality control.
Am I personally eligible? Eligibility depends on program rules, clinician review, and individual facts.

Enforcement context

Oregon's Measure 109 created a service-centre model: psilocybin may only be administered in a licensed facility under a trained facilitator, with no provision for home use or retail sale. Oregon Psilocybin Services (within the Oregon Health Authority) began licensing centres, facilitators, growers, and labs in 2023. Measure 110, which separately decriminalised small-quantity possession of controlled substances, was rolled back by HB 4002 effective 1 September 2024, recriminalising possession as a new misdemeanour; that change did not affect the Measure 109 psilocybin-services framework, which remains in place.

Local policy context

This section summarizes policy context. It is not legal advice or current-law verification.

Oregon built the first state-regulated psilocybin services system in the country through Measure 109 (2020). A separate 2020 measure that decriminalized drug possession generally — Measure 110 — was rolled back in 2024, but that rollback did not touch the Measure 109 psilocybin-services framework, which remains in place.

Psilocybin law Measure 109 (2020) created licensed service centers; only supervised, in-center use — no retail sale or home program.
Regulator Oregon Psilocybin Services (OPS) within the Oregon Health Authority licenses centers, facilitators, growers, and labs.
Drug-possession reversal Measure 110's broad decriminalization was recriminalized by HB 4002 effective Sept. 1, 2024; Measure 109 was unaffected.
Local power Cities and counties may ban psilocybin operations; several rural counties have done so.

Frequently asked questions

Does this page tell me where to access psilocybin in this state?

No. This page provides legal, policy, and public-health context. It does not list vendors, service centers, providers, sources, shipping options, or access routes.

Is a psilocybin service center the same as a dispensary?

No. Regulated service-center or healing-center models involve supervised administration under program rules. They are not ordinary retail dispensaries, online purchase, shipping, or take-home product systems.

Does state law change federal law?

No. State and federal law are separate systems. State-level programs do not erase federal controlled-substance status; psilocybin remains Schedule I federally.

Are the listed support resources psilocybin providers?

No. They are general mental-health, crisis, veteran, family, disability, or community-support resources. They are not psilocybin providers, access routes, or endorsements.
