Is it legal where you are?
Under federal law, psilocybin is illegal in every US state, no exceptions. What your state adds on top is the part that varies, and two of them now license supervised sessions. Find yours on the map, or jump straight to its record.

Could you join a clinical trial?
The honest picture first: most registered trials are not taking new participants, and the board below shows exactly where each one stands. Starting from your condition narrows it fastest.
And 51 more jurisdictions hold trials.
Closed covers trials terminated, suspended, withdrawn or left unverified. Every row’s four figures add to its own total; a trial with sites in several jurisdictions counts in each, so the place totals do not add to the register’s.
What has the research found?
Six findings from the peer-reviewed literature, each linked to the paper itself, so you can read what the researchers actually reported. The rest live on the research page.

What is moving?
Laws, rules, bills, research, trials: everything that changed lately, in one stream, each item linked to its record.
- New MexicoNew Mexico has opened applications for psilocybin testing laboratories. The Department of Health said on 5 October 2026 that its online portal for laboratory permits is open, under the producer and laboratory rule that took effect in June. A laboratory permit is for testing psilocybin grown for the programme. It does not let anyone treat a patient, because the rule that would enroll patients and certify clinicians is still a proposal.
- CanadaCanada's new Controlled Substances Regulations came into force on 1 October 2026 and now supply the authority for what the practitioner and the licensed dealer may do with psilocybin. Access through the Special Access Programme still opens with a letter of authorization issued under the Food and Drug Regulations, as it did before. Health Canada said it would revoke the older exemption on the same day. Its website had not been updated to confirm that when this entry was reviewed on 5 October 2026.
