How to read this map

Therapeutic lens, not recreational

Every status answers one question: can a person lawfully access this substance for supervised therapeutic use — through a licensed clinic, authorized prescriber, or regulated program? Recreational legality is a different question, and this map doesn’t answer it.

The blended view

The default “All (blended)” view shows each country’s most permissive status across psilocybin, MDMA and ibogaine. Use the toggles to see a single substance, or the separate ketamine layer — ketamine is a prescription medicine and is deliberately excluded from the blend.

The United States is special

Federally, classic psychedelics remain Schedule I — but real access varies at the state level. That’s why the US is shown as “mixed” on the world view. Click it (or see all 51 states) for the state-by-state picture.

Common questions

Where is psychedelic-assisted therapy legal?

As of 2026-06, 19 countries offer some lawful pathway to supervised therapeutic use of at least one classic psychedelic (psilocybin, MDMA or ibogaine): Australia, Brazil, Canada, Costa Rica, Czechia, Finland, Gabon, Germany, Jamaica, Mexico, Nepal, Netherlands, New Zealand, Panama, Republic of the Congo, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, South Africa, Switzerland. The United States varies by state — Colorado, New Mexico, Oregon operate regulated access programs.

What does "decriminalized" mean on this map?

Decriminalized means personal possession or use has been removed from criminal penalties (or is tolerated in practice), but there is no regulated pathway for supervised therapeutic use. 9 countries currently fall into this category: Austria, Colombia, Croatia, Cyprus, Italy, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain, Uruguay.

Is ketamine therapy legal?

Ketamine is different from the classic psychedelics: it is an approved prescription anesthetic on the WHO Essential Medicines list, lawfully used in medical settings in 197 of the 198 countries we track. That is why it has its own map layer and is excluded from the blended status.

Does a "legal" status mean I can access psychedelics there?

Not necessarily. This map tracks lawful access for supervised therapeutic use — typically through licensed clinics, authorized prescribers, or regulated programs with eligibility requirements. It does not describe recreational legality, and it is educational information, not legal advice.

Status as of 2026-06. This page is educational information about supervised therapeutic use, not legal advice. Laws change — always confirm with official sources before making decisions.
