AZ Psilocybin law · Reviewed Nov 12, 2026

Are shrooms legal in Arizona?

Illegal

As of November 2026, psilocybin mushrooms remain illegal in Arizona; the state has no current personal-use decriminalization or psilocybin therapy program.

All states

Possession penalty

Knowing possession or use is generally a class 4 felony. For some first offenders, on the state’s motion, a court may enter a class 1 misdemeanor or defer classifying the offense until probation ends. Eligible personal-possession offenders generally receive probation with treatment or education; a conviction also carries a mandatory fine of at least $1,000 or three times the drugs’ value, whichever is greater.

Medical & therapy access

A state-funded whole-mushroom psilocybin research grant program was established with $5 million in FY2024 funding and was repealed July 1, 2026. The 2025 SB 1555 law is a future trigger for a crystalline-polymorph psilocybin medicine if FDA approval and DEA rescheduling occur by January 1, 2031; it does not currently create a therapy-access program.

Local decriminalization

No city or county measures found in our sources.

Spores

The statutes cited do not specifically address spores; one source says their status is unclear.

Amanita muscaria

A source says amanita muscaria products are legally sold in Arizona.

Other psychedelics

Arizona earmarked $5 million in its FY2026 budget for ibogaine studies. SB 1542, introduced in 2026, proposed funding MDMA research and training for PTSD treatment but is described as a proposal, not enacted law.

FDA trigger law

Arizona has a law that would let doctors prescribe an FDA-approved psilocybin medicine once federal approval and rescheduling happen. It does not legalize mushrooms.
