Psilocybin legal status in Colorado: laws, decrim & 2026 update
LegalCurrent psilocybin laws and regulations in Colorado
Current Legal Status
Magic mushrooms are legal for adults 21+ in Colorado for personal use, possession, cultivation, and sharing under state law. Licensed healing centers provide supervised psilocybin services; commercial retail sales remain prohibited, and psilocybin is still illegal federally.
Colorado became the second U.S. state to legalize psilocybin when voters passed Proposition 122 (Natural Medicine Health Act) in November 2022. The law decriminalizes personal use, possession, cultivation, and sharing of psilocybin, DMT, ibogaine, and mescaline (excluding peyote) for adults 21 and older. Colorado also has a regulated system for licensed healing centers and facilitators to provide supervised psilocybin services. Commercial retail sales remain prohibited, and Denver had previously decriminalized psilocybin in 2019.
