Psilocybin law and access in New Hampshire

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.

Possession

Controlled · possession unlawful

New Hampshire law prohibits unauthorized possession or purchase of controlled drugs. Psilocybin remains controlled and is not authorized for personal possession.

Regulated access

No enacted public access program

New Hampshire has no enacted personal-use, retail, dispensary, or supervised-service program for psilocybin.

Current context

Controlled · proposals not enacted

A 2025 penalty-reduction measure died on the table. HB 1796, which proposes limited clinical-setting use, also has not become law. Neither proposal creates current possession, retail, or treatment access.

What local policy means

For Concord, Manchester and Portsmouth, this New Hampshire 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.

Cities covered by the New Hampshire guide

Common questions

Is psilocybin legal in New Hampshire?

No. Psilocybin remains controlled, and unauthorized possession or purchase is unlawful.

Does New Hampshire have a regulated psilocybin access program?

No. The 2025 penalty proposal failed, and HB 1796 remains a proposal. Neither creates current retail, dispensary, personal-use, or treatment access.

Do city policies change New Hampshire law?

No. A local enforcement-priority policy may affect municipal enforcement, but it does not legalize commercial sale, create statewide legality, or override federal law.
