Are shrooms legal in Colombia?

Personal possession decriminalized

Personal-use possession of psilocybin is generally decriminalized in Colombia, but psilocybin remains controlled and sale is not legal.

All countries

Possession

Constitutional Court rulings protect possession for personal use from criminal punishment, although no statutory personal-dose quantity specifically covers psilocybin. The protection comes from court decisions rather than an express legalization; police fines for personal-dose possession ended in December 2023, while restrictions and possible fines for consumption in certain public places remain.

Sale & growing

Sale and distribution remain criminal, and INVIMA says psilocybin-containing supplements, foods and over-the-counter products cannot be made or marketed. The supplied material does not establish separate rules for spores, grow kits or truffles, or authorize cultivation.

Medical & therapy access

The material identifies no general legal medical-access pathway for psilocybin. Research may be conducted by authorized institutions, but authorization to research does not necessarily include permission to possess psilocybin.

Visitor notes

A source describes informal or private retreat and clinic settings, but these are not presented as an authorized psilocybin-access route; the material does not establish a legal retail market.
