1. What the law is
Production of and Trade in Illicit Drugs Act (ZPPPD), article 33: possession of an illicit drug is a minor offense punishable by a fine and by imprisonment of up to 30 days, reduced to 5 days for a smaller quantity held for single personal use, with more lenient treatment for those entering treatment or social care programs; the fine is denominated in tolars and the article has not been amended since 2004. Criminal Code (KZ-1, consolidated text UL RS 50/12) article 186(1) sets 1 to 10 years for unlawful manufacture and trade in illicit drugs, and article 187(1) sets 6 months to 8 years for facilitating consumption. Scheduling: Uredba o razvrstitvi prepovedanih drog (UL RS 69/19, as amended) places psilocybin and psilocin in Skupina I, which ZPPPD article 3 defines as substances not used in medicine.1
The fine for possession is still denominated in tolars, a currency Slovenia gave up when it adopted the euro; article 33 of the illicit drugs act has not been amended since. That article makes possession a minor offense, punishable by a fine and by up to thirty days imprisonment, or five days for a small quantity held for single personal use. Psilocybin and psilocin sit in Skupina I of the classification decree, a group the act defines as substances not used in medicine, and the decree names the molecules without naming any fungus. Manufacture and trafficking are handled by the penal code: one to ten years under article 186, six months to eight years under article 187.
