No. Psilocybin is Schedule I under Ohio Revised Code §3719.41.

No Ohio city has passed a decriminalization or deprioritization resolution for psilocybin mushrooms.
No. Issue 2 (November 2023) legalized recreational cannabis in Ohio. Psilocybin was not mentioned in the measure. Magic mushrooms, psilocybin gummies, and psilocybin edibles all remain Schedule I controlled substances in Ohio.
No. None of Ohio's major cities have passed decriminalization or deprioritization resolutions for psilocybin. Ohio state Schedule I law applies in all of them.
HB 249 (2025) would establish a psilocybin-assisted therapy pilot program in Ohio, and HB 58 (2023) previously proposed psilocybin and MDMA research for PTSD and depression. Neither has passed into law. If HB 249 advances, it would create a research pathway, not general public access.
Possession of psilocybin in Ohio is a felony. Under Ohio Revised Code §2925.11, possession of a Schedule I controlled substance is a fifth-degree felony for small amounts, carrying up to 12 months in prison and a $2,500 fine. Larger quantities escalate the charge to higher-degree felonies with correspondingly greater penalties. Trafficking or distribution under ORC §2925.03 carries additional charges. No Ohio city has a diversion or decriminalization pathway for psilocybin.
Yes. Amanita muscaria is not a controlled substance under Ohio Revised Code §3719.41 or federal law. Its active compounds — muscimol and ibotenic acid — are not scheduled in Ohio. Amanita muscaria products, including gummies and dried caps, are sold legally in Ohio. However, Amanita muscaria is pharmacologically distinct from psilocybin mushrooms and does not produce the same effects.
