Psilocybin is a naturally occurring psychedelic, frequently used recreationally and as plant medicine, and that is found in over 200 kinds of mushrooms across the world. It is prohibited under international law by the United Nations’ Vienna Convention of 1971 because of its psychoactive properties. While the use of psilocybin remains outlawed in most countries, some states are realizing the therapeutic benefits of the plant medicines, and have been allowing exemptions for clinical trials and medical purposes. Truffle Report has put together this updated version of our legal status world map with current psilocybin data.
