CL Psilocybin law · Americas · Reviewed Nov 12, 2026
Psilocybin mushrooms remain controlled in Chile, but possession for exclusive, near-term personal use is treated as an infraction rather than a crime; a 2026 law change could alter penalties once its implementing regulation is issued.
Ley 20.000 excludes possession for exclusive personal use close in time from the trafficking offense. Under Article 50, public consumption or carrying can be an infraction punishable by a fine, prevention program, or community service; the practical personal-use threshold for mushrooms is not well established. Late-2026 material says the effect of the new 2026 rule on small quantities had not yet been established.
Selling or supplying mushrooms is illegal and can be prosecuted as trafficking or micro-trafficking. Unauthorized cultivation is also punishable, although cultivation justified as exclusively for personal use is described as subject to Article 50 penalties. The supplied material says spores and grow kits are legal and openly sold; it does not establish a separate rule for truffles.
There is no general patient-access route or authorized routine psilocybin therapy described in the supplied material. In October 2026, Chile’s ISP authorized the country’s first clinical trial of psilocybin for treatment-resistant depression; this is a research setting, not general medical access.
The material describes no lawful retail mushroom or retreat market, while reporting that specialized websites openly sell spores and grow kits and that recreational use occurs. It also reports enforcement against mushroom sales and possession.
Decreto Supremo 867 listed psilocybin and psilocin as controlled substances and Psilocybe mushrooms among controlled species; the supplied November 2026 update says the decree had not been amended since September 2023.
Chile accepted its first psilocybin clinical-trial protocol, according to the supplied Wayfinder material.
Ley 21.817, published on 23 May, added a provision that could apply trafficking penalties to small quantities of substances classified by a future regulation as capable of grave toxic effects. The supplied late-2026 updates say the implementing classification had not been verified and the effect on psilocybin remained unsettled.
In October, the ISP authorized the first national clinical trial of psilocybin, according to The Clinic.
