1. What the law is
Dangerous Drugs Act (Ch. 228) as applied by the Dangerous Drugs (Application) Order, 2024: paragraph 2 applies Part IV of the Act to the drugs in the Schedule, which lists psilocybine; paragraph 3 revokes S.I. 77 of 1994.1
A single 2024 order did the work here. The Dangerous Drugs (Application) Order, 2024 applies Part IV of the Dangerous Drugs Act (Ch. 228) to the drugs in its Schedule, and psilocybine is on that Schedule. It revokes the statutory instrument of 1994 that came before it. Two limits are worth stating precisely: psilocine is absent from the Order, and the Order names the compound rather than the mushrooms or fungi that contain it.
2. Pending legislation
No bill is on file in the Bahamas that would change this record, as of the 03 Aug 2026 review.
3. History
The laws behind today’s status, when each took effect, and every review since, in order.
A full-text check of the Bahamas statute portal found psilocybin absent from the Dangerous Drugs Act, though LSD was listed there, so nothing in the entry changed at this review.
The Bahamas is now recorded as illegal. A 2024 government order brought psilocybine under the Dangerous Drugs Act, and our earlier reading came from a 2017 version of the Act that predates it.
