FAQ
Georgia: common questions
Is psychedelic therapy legal in Georgia?
There is no general legal access to psilocybin here. Clinic licensing framework enacted for FDA-approved drugs. Other substances or authorized research may have different rules.
What does the current law say?
Georgia HB 717 (2026), Georgia HB 717 (signed 2026, effective July 1, 2026) amends the Medical Practice Act to create a licensing framework for clinics that administer psychedelic-assisted treatment, expressly including intravenous ketamine infusion. The Composite Medical Board must adopt rules by December 31, 2026, and clinics must be licensed from July 1, 2027. The law does not permit any substance that lacks FDA approval, so it does not authorize psilocybin services; possessing psilocybin remains a crime in Georgia. Administering FDA-approved drugs for their approved on-label indication is exempt from these new requirements, so existing prescribed ketamine treatment is not interrupted by the later clinic-licensing start date.
