Terms of use
This is a public reference record of the legal status of psilocybin across the United States and the world. It is free to read, and these terms set out what the record is, how you may use it, the limits of what it can tell you, and how we correct it when we get something wrong. Using the site means you accept them.
What this site is
The record reports what the law says, with citations. It is a reference, not advocacy and not a service. It does not represent you, sell anything alongside the law, or broker access to trials, clinicians, or product. Nothing here is a transaction, and nothing here is gated behind an email address: the law is free to read for anyone, anywhere.
Using the record
You are welcome to read, quote, link to, and cite the record, in research, reporting, policy work, or ordinary curiosity. Every record page carries a ready-to-copy citation, and the elements of a hand-written one are set out in the citation guide.
Facts are not owned, and we do not claim them. What is ours is the expression, the summaries and analyses, and the compilation itself: the selection, the structure, and the dated change history. One named slice of the record is released outright under a Creative Commons license, free to reuse commercially with credit; the compilation as a whole, and reuse of it in bulk, are reserved and licensed on request. The grant, its exact scope, and the credit we ask for are set out on the license page.
Two things need our permission first. Do not present the record as your own work or strip its sources, and do not extract the register in bulk, by hand or by machine, to redistribute it as a data feed, an interface, or a product. If that is what you need, write to us at the corrections contact below and say so. It is licensable.
Not legal or medical advice
This information is for educational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. Enforcement in practice can differ from the letter of the law, and only a qualified lawyer in the relevant place can advise on your situation. The record also makes no medical claims about psilocybin and gives no dosing, sourcing, or how-to guidance of any kind. Nothing here should be read as encouragement to break any law.
Accuracy and no warranty
We check every status against the primary source where one is published, note where it rests on independent corroboration instead, and stamp each record with the date it was last reviewed. Where no primary source has been found, the record says so. Even so, drug law changes frequently and the record can lag reality. It is provided as is, without warranty of completeness or currency. Verify the current position with official sources or a qualified adviser before making any decision that depends on it. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for actions taken in reliance on the record.
Third-party works in the library
The library indexes videos, books, and articles produced by others. Listing a work is a pointer to it, not an endorsement of it, and carries no medical or efficacy claim. Video is embedded only from the rightsholder’s own official channel, and subscription or paywalled titles are linked, never rehosted. Copyright in each work stays with its owner. If you hold rights in a listed work and want it removed, write to us using the corrections contact below and we will take it down.
Legislative data credit
Some bill-tracking data used to find and date changes is drawn from LegiScan, made available under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license (CC BY 4.0). We credit it as a finding aid, which is all it is to us: it tells us a bill exists or has moved, and we then read and cite the primary legislative text, which is what the record reports. No provider’s raw feed is republished here. That boundary is written into what we license: the dataset licensed here comprises facts independently verified against primary sources; it does not include or sublicense LegiScan-provided content. Full detail is in the methodology, and the grant itself is on the license page.
Corrections policy
We correct in the open. There are no silent edits. When a status, date, or citation is wrong, the fix is entered as a visible, typed changelog line inside the affected record, labeled by what changed, so the history of what we said and when we corrected it travels with the record itself. A correction never quietly rewrites the past; it is always an added, dated entry.
How to report an error. If a status looks wrong, a citation is broken, or a listed work should come down, tell us at corrections@psilocybinlegalization.com. Point us to the record and, where you can, the primary source. We review every report, and where a change is warranted you will see it land as a dated changelog entry on the record, which is the public record of the correction.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms as the record grows. When we do, we change the effective date at the top. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
Governing law
These terms, and any dispute arising out of them or out of your use of the site, are governed by the law of the Province of British Columbia and the law of Canada that applies there, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Proceedings are to be brought in the courts of British Columbia, and you and the operator of this site each agree to their jurisdiction. If you read the record from somewhere else, this does not take away a protection your own local law gives you that cannot be given up by agreement.
Who operates the record
This record is operated by Psilocybin Media Group. Written enquiries reach the operator of this site at the corrections address above. How we handle the one thing we do collect, your email address if you choose to track changes, is set out in the privacy statement, and how the record is built and verified is set out in the methodology.
