A concise, source-dated explanation of statewide law, regulated access, and the difference between state and local policy.
Laws and implementation can change quickly. This page is educational information, not legal advice.
Programs and services
Florida has not created a statewide psilocybin service-center, medical-access, personal-use, dispensary, or retail program.
Controlled · 2025 spore and mycelium restriction
Florida’s 2025 §500.75 separately restricts transporting, importing, selling, furnishing, or giving away spores or mycelium capable of producing psilocybin- or psilocyn-containing mushrooms. That restriction does not create legal access.
What local policy means
For Fort Lauderdale, Hialeah, Jacksonville, Miami, Orlando, St. Petersburg, Tallahassee and Tampa, this Florida page is the appropriate quick-reference starting point because no separate municipal action was retained as a distinct local-policy guide. Local rules can change, so verify current official records.
2026 Florida psilocybin research update
Florida’s psychedelic research activity expanded in 2026. USF Health reported that its Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Neurosciences is conducting clinical trials of psychedelic medicines, including a COMP360 psilocybin study for post-traumatic stress disorder. Federal clinical-trial records also list recruiting Florida sites for additional late-stage studies involving psilocybin or closely related investigational compounds. These studies operate under research protocols and do not change Florida’s general statewide access rules.
