Is Psychedelic Therapy Legal in Ecuador?

Scheduled controlled psychotropic; no medical pathway. Consumption is non-criminalized (public-health approach, Constitution Art. 364), but no lawful supply. The threshold table was repealed Nov 2023, making personal-use vs trafficking case-by-case.

Controlled psychotropic; no medical approval or therapeutic pathway. Possession handled as public health rather than criminal; threshold table repealed Nov 2023.

No Ecuador-specific statute or therapeutic pathway located; falls under the restrictive controlled-substances framework.

DMT controlled; no general therapeutic pathway. Strong traditional/shamanic exemption — ceremonial use within Indigenous traditions is permitted via licensed shamans/centers — but the exemption does not make general public status legal.

Isolated mescaline controlled, no therapeutic pathway. San Pedro/wachuma (Echinopsis pachanoi, native to the Ecuadorian Andes) openly used/sold in traditional contexts under Indigenous-tradition protections; peyote not native. Exemption noted but not legal generally.

Tracked separately — a prescription medicine, excluded from the blended status.

Clinical anesthetic available via controlled-medicine/prescription pathways; some off-label psychiatric use. Esketamine (Spravato) reportedly not nationally registered.
