None of the news has made psilocybin legal
Psilocybin stays Schedule I under US federal law and no psilocybin product is approved anywhere in the country. Any approval would cover one company's compound.
What the study found
Psilocybin is Schedule I, and an approval would cover one drug
A year of regulatory news has not made psilocybin legal. It stays Schedule I under US federal law, the tier for substances with no accepted medical use, and no psilocybin product is approved anywhere in the country. Any approval would cover one company's compound, not mushrooms.
The caveat · From a law firm's note, not a filing
Breakthrough designation and a priority voucher mean regulators think a candidate is worth handling quickly; neither says anything about whether it will be approved. Oregon, Colorado and New Mexico run programmes under state law that sit in tension with the unchanged federal classification rather than overriding it, the same standoff as state cannabis. The account of federal status here comes from a law firm's client advisory drawing on the statutes and agency records, not from a government filing.
