No, psilocybin spores are illegal in Utah under state law, which classifies them as Schedule I controlled substances, mirroring federal prohibition. The Utah Department of Health enforces these restrictions, and recent 2026 legislative proposals to decriminalize psilocybin do not extend to spores. Possession or distribution risks felony charges under Utah Code §58-37-4(1)(a)(i).
Key Regulations for Psilocybin Spores in Utah
- Controlled Substance Classification: Utah Code §58-37-4(1)(a)(i) explicitly lists psilocybin spores as Schedule I, prohibiting possession, sale, or cultivation.
- Enforcement by Utah Department of Health: The Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing monitors compliance, with penalties including fines up to $10,000 and imprisonment for violations.
- 2026 Legislative Gaps: Pending bills (e.g., HB 2026) focus on psilocybin therapy but exclude spores, leaving current bans intact. Local jurisdictions cannot override state law.
