1. What the law is
Slovenia still states its possession fine in tolars, a currency it 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.

4. Common questions
Is psilocybin legal in Slovenia?
Psilocybin is decriminalized in Slovenia.
Are magic mushrooms ("shrooms") legal in Slovenia?
"Magic mushrooms" and "shrooms" are common names for fungi that contain psilocybin, and this entry states the law on psilocybin itself, which some laws treat separately from the fungus. Psilocybin is decriminalized in Slovenia.
Read the law
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
