Is Psilocybin Mushroom Legal in District of Columbia?

Psilocybin mushrooms are illegal in the District of Columbia under federal and D.C. law, classified as a Schedule I controlled substance. In 2020, DC voters passed Initiative 81, which made enforcement of laws against entheogenic plants and fungi the lowest law enforcement priority, effectively a non-binding decriminalization. However, psilocybin remains formally illegal under D.C. Code and federal law given DC's unique jurisdictional status.
