The first thing to consider when it comes to the legality of psilocybin-based medicines is that they are not currently legal in most countries. In the United States, for example, it is illegal to distribute or possess psilocybin mushrooms without a license. This means that any person selling psilocybin mushrooms must be licensed by the government and abide by all laws related to the sale and distribution of these products.

In addition, there are some countries where psilocybin mushrooms are illegal. For example, in Canada they are classified as Schedule I drugs, which means they have a high potential for abuse and no medical benefits. In Brazil and Mexico they are considered “drugs of dependence,” meaning that their possession or use can lead to addiction and other health issues.
