Important notes

Arizona has the most active psilocybin legislative history of any state without a consumer program. HB 2759 (2024) appropriated $5M for university research. SB 1570 (2024) would have created Oregon-style service centers; it passed both chambers but was vetoed by Gov. Hobbs in July 2024. SB 1555 (2025) was signed into law on April 22, 2025 (Chapter 231) as a conditional trigger law: pharmaceutical crystalline polymorph psilocybin may be prescribed in Arizona if the FDA approves it and the DEA reschedules it out of Schedule I by January 1, 2031. A state Psilocybin Advisory Board was established and held its first meeting in early 2026. Psilocybin mushrooms remain Schedule I under Arizona Revised Statutes §13-3401; no decriminalization or licensed access program exists today.
