1. What the law is
A one-vote House margin was not enough. LD 1034 (paper HP 663, 132nd Legislature) would have let adults 21 and over possess up to one ounce of psilocybin; it cleared the House 70-69 and the Senate 17-16 in June 2025, then failed final enactment. The Legislature's own status page records the disposition as 'Enactment Failed, Jun 10, 2025', and no change to state law resulted. Possession remains a Class D crime.
Psilocybin is illegal in Maine. Under the Maine Criminal Code, Title 17-A M.R.S. § 1102, psilocybin and psilocyn are listed as Schedule X hallucinogenic drugs, and their unlawful possession is a crime under Title 17-A M.R.S. § 1107-A. No state law authorizes recreational, medical, or supervised therapeutic use, and psilocybin also remains a Schedule I controlled substance under federal law.
Maine has classified psilocybin and psilocyn as Schedule X drugs under Title 17-A M.R.S. § 1102, and possession remains a criminal offense statewide; the state has not enacted any decriminalization, medical-access, or regulated-therapy framework. In the 131st Legislature, LD 1034 (2025) proposed decriminalizing personal possession of up to one ounce of psilocybin for adults 21 and older. According to legislative records, the bill narrowly passed initial votes in both chambers in June 2025 (House 70-69, Senate 17-16) but failed its final enactment votes and was placed in the legislative dead file on June 10, 2025, producing no change to state law. Because LD 1034 was not enacted, it creates no current legal access; possession of psilocybin remains illegal in Maine.

Every change we have made to this record, dated, corrections included. Nothing changes silently.
Maine's entry cited the wrong bill paper in the wrong Legislature, and still listed a dead bill as pending. Both fixed, and the law that actually prohibits possession is now named.
Maine had been marked mixed on the strength of a decriminalization bill. LD 1034 failed its final enactment votes and died on June 10, 2025, so the status is corrected to illegal.
