No. Psilocybin is Schedule I under Connecticut General Statutes §21a-243. Possession of any hallucinogenic substance in CT is punishable by up to 5 years imprisonment and a $2,000 fine for a first offense. No therapeutic access program exists.
Yes — SB 1052 (2025) would create a psilocybin research and therapeutic access framework in Connecticut. Earlier bill HB 5395 (2023) had proposed a therapeutic pilot program. Neither has been signed into law as of 2026.
No. Unlike some neighboring states, Connecticut has no city with a psilocybin deprioritization or decriminalization resolution — neither Hartford, New Haven, nor any other Connecticut city has passed one. Connecticut General Statutes §21a-243 (Schedule I) applies statewide with no local exception.
Yes. Amanita muscaria (the red-and-white spotted mushroom) is not a controlled substance under Connecticut General Statutes §21a-243 or federal law. It contains muscimol, not psilocybin, and is a legally distinct product. Amanita muscaria gummies and extracts are sold legally in Connecticut. However, Amanita muscaria is not psilocybin and does not produce the same clinical or psychedelic effects.
