No, psilocybin spores are illegal in Malaysia under the Poisons Act 1952 and the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952, as they contain the controlled compound psilocybin. The National Pharmaceutical Regulatory Agency (NPRA) enforces these restrictions, with penalties including imprisonment and fines. Recent 2026 amendments to the Poisons Regulations further tightened controls on fungal materials containing psychoactive substances.
