GR Psilocybin law · Europe · Reviewed Nov 12, 2026

Are shrooms legal in Greece?

Grey area or unclear law

Greece: psilocybin is controlled, but the supplied sources leave the legal treatment of mushrooms and truffles uncertain.

All countries

Possession

Psilocybin and psilocin are listed as controlled substances. The sources describe personal-use possession of controlled drugs as punishable by up to five months’ imprisonment, though a court may decide not to punish wholly occasional use. They disagree or remain unclear on whether that rule applies directly to whole mushrooms or sclerotia, which are not expressly named in the cited schedules.

Sale & growing

Trafficking in controlled substances can carry severe penalties; one source reports a minimum eight-year prison term. The sources do not establish a clear, separate rule for selling whole mushrooms or truffles. No lawful retail market is identified.

Medical & therapy access

The supplied sources report no formal medical-access program for psilocybin in Greece.

Visitor notes

Do not assume mushrooms, truffles, spores, or grow kits are lawful. The sources do not specify the rules for spores or grow kits, and the status of fungal material is unresolved in some accounts. Psilocybin and psilocin themselves are controlled, so visitors should not rely on claims of private-use legality or carry them across borders.
