Current law

Psilocybin mushrooms are listed as prohibited substances under the Ley General de Salud (art. 245). In practice, traditional indigenous ceremonial use, particularly among Mazatec communities in Oaxaca, is tolerated and culturally protected, but this tolerance does not extend to a regulated commercial market.

• There is no license, registry, or government oversight for psychedelic services in Mexico.
• Retreats in places like Oaxaca operate without formal legal authorization; quality and safety vary widely and there is no regulator to complain to.
• If you consider a retreat in Mexico, vet the operator carefully: medical screening, facilitator credentials, and emergency protocols matter more here than anywhere.
