How Michigan Classifies Psilocybin and Psilocin
Statewide, both psilocybin and psilocin are classified as Schedule I substances under Michigan Public Health Code, MCL § 333.7212(1)(c). So they sit in the same drug classification as at the federal level.
Is Possessing Psilocybin Mushrooms Legal in Michigan?
Possession of psilocybin mushrooms is illegal in Michigan. Under Michigan Compiled Laws § 333.7403(2)(c), possession of any quantity of psilocybin mushrooms is classified as a misdemeanor punishable by up to 1 year in jail, a fine of up to $2,000, or both. Unlike other Schedule I substances, punishment for possession of psilocybin products does not vary based on weight possessed.
There are no state-level personal-use protections. Possession of an amount for personal use is only free from criminal penalties in the cities above, where psilocybin has been decriminalized, while criminalization is unlikely to occur in Jackson City and Washtenaw, given that law enforcement treats psilocybin mushrooms as one of their lowest priorities.
Is Selling or Distributing Psilocybin Legal in Michigan?
The quantity of psilocybin possessed matters only indirectly if an individual possesses a large quantity along with other signs of intent to sell, such as scales and packaging material. In this case, under Michigan Compiled Laws 333.7401(2)(b)(ii), it is a felony, punishable by up to 7 years in prison, a fine of up to $10,000, or both.
Selling, distributing, and gifting are the same offense under Michigan Compiled Laws § 333.7105, since the law is specifically about the transfer or delivery of the controlled substance; delivery occurs "whether or not there is an agency relationship" and makes no requirement for money, goods, or services to be exchanged.
Licensed selling or distribution of psilocybin doesn’t exist in the state: all such activity is unlicensed.
Is Growing Psilocybin Mushrooms Legal in Michigan?
Growing psilocybin mushrooms is strictly illegal in Michigan. This is the same as “manufacture”. Under Michigan Compiled Laws § 333.7106(3), "‘Manufacture’ means the production, preparation, propagation, compounding, conversion, or processing of a controlled substance, directly or indirectly by extraction from substances of natural origin..."
There are no personal-use cultivation protections, exemptions, or legal limits for growing psilocybin mushrooms in Michigan.
Growing is treated more harshly than possession. Under Michigan Compiled Laws § 333.7401(2)(b)(ii), it is a felony punishable by up to 7 years in prison, a fine of up to $10,000, or both.
Is Psilocybin Therapy Legal in Michigan?
Michigan does not currently have in place a legal, regulated system of psilocybin therapy. There are no licensed psilocybin services, regulated medical psilocybin products, or supervised natural-medicine services. There is no regulated access to psilocybin at all.
What Legal Psilocybin Options Exist for Michigan Residents?
Michigan residents can still legally use psilocybin mushrooms in certain US states and other countries.
Regulated Psilocybin Services in Other U.S. States
Supervised psilocybin sessions are legal in Colorado and Oregon, in the form of private sessions at dedicated, licensed centers, as well as group psilocybin retreats. Michigan residents aged 21 and older can legally access these services. However, no one in Colorado or Oregon can legally buy or sell psilocybin products, and legal psilocybin services aren’t allowed to let clients take products home with them.
If a Michigan resident took psilocybin back with them to their home state, they could be prosecuted under Michigan state laws. This would also involve transporting a Schedule I controlled substance across state lines or through an airport, which is a federal drug trafficking offense.
Legal Psilocybin Retreat Destinations Outside the U.S.
Michigan residents can legally join psilocybin retreats in Jamaica and the Netherlands. Jamaica is a convenient and accessible option for US residents. MycoMeditations hosts psilocybin retreats across multiple locations in the country, with a proven track record of delivering positive outcomes for guests.
