Psilocybin law and access in North Dakota

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

Schedule I · possession unlawful

North Dakota keeps ordinary psilocybin in Schedule I. Unauthorized possession of a controlled substance remains unlawful.

Regulated access

No mushroom or service-center access

North Dakota has no personal-use, retail, dispensary, or supervised-service program for psilocybin mushrooms.

Current context

Controlled · conditional Schedule IV medication

The code places only an FDA-approved COMP360 crystalline-polymorph pharmaceutical composition in Schedule IV. That is a prescription-drug pathway, not mushroom legalization, commercial retail access, or a service program.

What local policy means

Does North Dakota have a regulated psilocybin access program?

No. North Dakota’s Schedule IV language applies only to an FDA-approved COMP360 crystalline-polymorph pharmaceutical composition. It does not authorize mushrooms, personal use, retail sales, dispensaries, or service centers.

Do city policies change North Dakota 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.
