https://psilocybinlegalization.com/updates Law changes, regulatory actions, and corrections to the psilocybin legal record, as they are verified against primary sources. en Sat, 22 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT https://psilocybinlegalization.com/record/oregon https://psilocybinlegalization.com/record/oregon#2026-08-22 Sat, 22 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT Oregon has opened a public comment period on new psilocybin rules that would change all licence fees and end reduced fees. Comments run from 1 to 21 September 2026, with public hearings on 15 and 16 September. The state gives rising costs and programme sustainability as the reason. https://psilocybinlegalization.com/record/australia https://psilocybinlegalization.com/record/australia#2026-08-19 Wed, 19 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT Australia's entry now names the provisions that actually limit prescribing, Appendix D clause 9 of the Poisons Standard and subsection 19(5) of the Therapeutic Goods Act, and records an application to allow psilocybine for existential distress at the end of life. A delegate decided on 29 May 2026 that the current scheduling remains appropriate, and a final decision is still to come. Psilocybin remains prescribable only by an authorised psychiatrist and only for treatment-resistant depression. https://psilocybinlegalization.com/record/denmark https://psilocybinlegalization.com/record/denmark#2026-08-18 Tue, 18 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT Denmark's entry pointed at an executive order that stopped being current in 2020. The order in force is now cited, and the listing itself is unchanged: mushrooms and their spores have been controlled since 2001. https://psilocybinlegalization.com/record/north-macedonia https://psilocybinlegalization.com/record/north-macedonia#2026-08-18 Tue, 18 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT North Macedonia's entry had no official source and applied one article's prison range to two different offenses. The gazette has now been read: the range belongs to the supply offense, the separate offense of enabling use carries one to five years, and a 2023 amendment says a person holding drugs for personal use is not to be punished. https://psilocybinlegalization.com/record/norway https://psilocybinlegalization.com/record/norway#2026-08-18 Tue, 18 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT Norway's entry said the 2025 drug reform was in effect. It is not: the Act has passed and been promulgated, but commencement is left to the King and has not been set, so nothing in it has started. https://psilocybinlegalization.com/record/california https://psilocybinlegalization.com/record/california#2026-08-18 Tue, 18 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT California's 2025 research law is broader and shorter-lived than this entry said. AB 1103 speeds up state review of research using any Schedule I or Schedule II drug, psilocybin among them, rather than psychedelics specifically, and the fast-track expires on 1 January 2028. https://psilocybinlegalization.com/record/indiana https://psilocybinlegalization.com/record/indiana#2026-08-18 Tue, 18 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT Indiana's psilocybin research fund is funded at $300,000 a year, $600,000 over the two-year budget, and the money comes from the state's opioid settlement account rather than general tax revenue. The amount and its source are now recorded from the budget act itself. https://psilocybinlegalization.com/record/argentina https://psilocybinlegalization.com/record/argentina#2026-08-17 Mon, 17 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT Argentina's entry now cites the instrument that actually lists psilocybin. The statute it cited before, Law 23.737, never names the substance: it defines controlled drugs by reference to lists that the executive sets by decree, and the decree in force is Decree 122/2026. https://psilocybinlegalization.com/record/armenia https://psilocybinlegalization.com/record/armenia#2026-08-17 Mon, 17 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT Armenia's entry now cites the articles that actually carry the law: Article 396 of the 2021 Criminal Code for the criminal tier and Article 44.1 of the Code of Administrative Offences for the administrative one, replacing an insider-dealing article and an article repealed in 2004. The government decision that lists psilocin and psilocybin is cited for the first time, and the penalty range is restated from the statute. https://psilocybinlegalization.com/record/canada https://psilocybinlegalization.com/record/canada#2026-08-17 Mon, 17 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT Canada's entry now cites the regulation that actually carries the 1 October 2026 date, and corrects what it said would happen next. The exemption is being folded into new regulations rather than simply ending, so the Special Access Programme route is carried forward past that date. https://psilocybinlegalization.com/record/czechia https://psilocybinlegalization.com/record/czechia#2026-08-17 Mon, 17 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT Czechia's entry now cites a version of the law that can be read and checked, and records a limit it had missed: treatment is confined to psychiatric hospitals run directly by the Ministry of Health, and any other facility needs a permit. https://psilocybinlegalization.com/record/germany https://psilocybinlegalization.com/record/germany#2026-08-17 Mon, 17 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT Germany's entry was a year out of date. The regulator lists one psilocybin programme, running from 18 June 2026 to 17 June 2027 at a single institute in Mannheim for treatment-resistant depression, and the entry now says that instead of describing a national scheme. https://psilocybinlegalization.com/record/nepal https://psilocybinlegalization.com/record/nepal#2026-08-17 Mon, 17 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT Nepal's entry no longer says only that the law is evolving. It now states what the Narcotic Drugs (Control) Act actually lists, cites the government's own consolidated text and the drug regulator's import list, and explains that psilocybin's position rests on being left out of both rather than on any permission. https://psilocybinlegalization.com/record/netherlands https://psilocybinlegalization.com/record/netherlands#2026-08-17 Mon, 17 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT The Netherlands entry no longer says truffles are sold in licensed smart shops or that they were explicitly excluded from the 2008 ban. The Opium Act contains no smart-shop licence and never mentions truffles at all, so they fall outside it rather than being carved out of it. https://psilocybinlegalization.com/record/pakistan https://psilocybinlegalization.com/record/pakistan#2026-08-17 Mon, 17 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT Pakistan's entry quoted a Schedule-I heading that does not appear in the Act, and cut off its quotation of section 6 one clause early. Both are corrected against the Government of Pakistan's own consolidated text, which also carries a 2022 amendment the entry had never mentioned. Psilocybin's listing itself is confirmed. https://psilocybinlegalization.com/record/switzerland https://psilocybinlegalization.com/record/switzerland#2026-08-17 Mon, 17 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT Switzerland's entry now cites the schedule that actually names psilocybin, rather than resting only on the Narcotics Act article, which does not. Nothing about the law itself has changed. https://psilocybinlegalization.com/record/thailand https://psilocybinlegalization.com/record/thailand#2026-08-17 Mon, 17 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT Thailand's entry now carries the full set of penalties the Thai FDA publishes, including the fine attached to the five year term and the separate commercial and distribution band it had omitted. Nothing in Thai law has moved; the widely repeated 2026 reform claims trace only to content farms. https://psilocybinlegalization.com/record/arizona https://psilocybinlegalization.com/record/arizona#2026-08-17 Mon, 17 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT Arizona's trigger law was signed on 27 June 2025, not in April, and the provision that would allow psilocybin to be prescribed sits at a different section of the code than the entry named. Both are corrected from the enacted chapter text. The law itself is unchanged and still does nothing today. https://psilocybinlegalization.com/record/colorado https://psilocybinlegalization.com/record/colorado#2026-08-17 Mon, 17 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT Colorado's entry no longer calls healing centers 'in development': state-licensed centers have been operating since 2025. https://psilocybinlegalization.com/record/connecticut https://psilocybinlegalization.com/record/connecticut#2026-08-17 Mon, 17 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT Connecticut's entry now cites the text of the act itself rather than a bill tracking page that never mentioned psilocybin. Nothing about the law changed; the citation now supports what the entry says.
