Psilocybin law and access in Utah

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 · misdemeanor possession

Utah lists psilocybin in Schedule I. A first or second unauthorized possession offense is generally a Class A misdemeanor; qualifying repeat offenses can be felonies.

Regulated access

No general public access program

Utah has not established personal-use, retail, dispensary, home-cultivation, or regulated service-center access.

Current context

Limited qualifying health-system pilot

SB 266 allows qualifying health systems to develop tightly limited behavioral-health pilots involving certain investigational Schedule I substances. It is not ordinary clinical or consumer access.

What local policy means

For Ogden, Provo and Salt Lake City, this Utah 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 Utah guide

Common questions

Is psilocybin legal in Utah?

No. Utah lists psilocybin in Schedule I. A first or second unauthorized possession offense is generally a Class A misdemeanor, and qualifying repeat offenses can be felonies. The health-system pilot does not legalize personal use.

Does Utah have a regulated psilocybin access program?

No. SB 266 authorizes only tightly limited pilot development by qualifying health systems. It does not create retail, dispensary, home-cultivation, ordinary clinical, or service-center access.

Do city policies change Utah 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.
