{{Main|Legal status of psilocybin mushrooms}}

[[Psilocybin]] and [[psilocin]] are listed as [[Schedule I drug]]s under the United Nations 1971 [[Convention on Psychotropic Substances]].<ref>{{cite report|title=List of psychotropic substances under international control|edition=29|publisher=[[International Narcotics Control Board]] |date=2018|url=https://www.emcdda.europa.eu/system/files/attachments/10458/Green_list_ENG_V18-02416.pdf}}</ref>  However, mushrooms containing psilocybin and psilocin are not illegal in some parts of the world.  For example, in Brazil they are legal, but extractions from the mushroom containing psilocybin and psilocin remain illegal. In the United States, growing or possessing ''Psilocybe cubensis'' mushrooms is illegal in all states, but it is legal to possess and buy the spores for microscopy purposes. However, as of May 8, 2019, [[Denver|Denver, Colorado]],  decriminalized it for those 21 and up. On June 4, 2019, [[Oakland, California]], followed suit, decriminalizing psilocybin-containing mushrooms as well as the [[Peyote]] cactus.<ref>{{cite news |title=Oakland second city in USA to allow 'magic mushrooms' |newspaper=[[East Bay Times]] |location=California, USA |publisher= |date=2019-06-04 |url=https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2019/06/04/oakland-second-city-in-usa-to-allow-magic-mushrooms/ |access-date=2023-02-04 }}</ref> On January 29, 2020, [[Santa Cruz, California]], decriminalized naturally occurring psychedelics, including psilocybin mushrooms.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://doubleblindmag.com/breaking-news-santa-cruz-decriminalize-nature-entheogenic-plants-and-fungi/|title=Breaking: Santa Cruz City Council Votes to Decriminalize Entheogenic Plants and Fungi|date=2020-01-29|website=DoubleBlind Magazine|language=en-US|access-date=2020-01-30}}</ref> On November 3, 2020, the state of Oregon decriminalized possession of psilocybin mushrooms for recreational use and granted licensed practitioners permission to administer psilocybin mushrooms to individuals age 21 years and older.<ref>{{cite web |title=Oregon measure 109 |url=https://ballotpedia.org/Oregon_Measure_109,_Psilocybin_Mushroom_Services_Program_Initiative_(2020) |website=Ballotpedia.org |publisher=Ballotpedia |access-date=10 November 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Oregon measure 110 |url=https://ballotpedia.org/Oregon_Measure_110,_Drug_Decriminalization_and_Addiction_Treatment_Initiative_(2020) |website=Ballotpedia.org |publisher=Ballotpedia |access-date=10 November 2020}}</ref>

In 1978, the Florida Supreme Court ruled in ''Fiske vs Florida'' that possession of psilocybin mushrooms is not illegal, in that the mushrooms cannot be considered a "container" for psilocybin based on how the law is written, i.e., it does not specifically state that psilocybin mushrooms themselves are illegal, but that the hallucinogenic constituents in them are. According to this decision, the applicable statute as framed imparts no information as to which plants may contain psilocybin in its natural state and does not advise a person of ordinary intelligence that this substance is contained in a particular variety of mushroom. The statute, therefore, cannot constitutionally be applied to the appellant.<ref name="JustiaLaw2020">{{cite web |title=Fiske v.
