Psilocybin Laws in Arizona
Arizona has seen growing legislative interest in psilocybin therapy, with bills introduced in recent sessions. Arizona's large veteran population and proximity to Oregon and Colorado have driven advocacy efforts.
Current Legal Status
Active Legislation
Psilocybin remains Schedule I under Arizona law, but therapeutic framework bills have been introduced. A ballot initiative campaign is also being explored for 2026 given Arizona voters' history of passing drug reform directly.
Key Legislation
SB 1187 (2024) proposed a regulated therapeutic program — did not pass committee. HB 2486 (2025) introduced a similar framework, awaiting hearing. Prop 207 (2020) legalizing cannabis demonstrates the ballot-initiative pathway.
Clinical Trials
University of Arizona and Mayo Clinic Scottsdale have participated in psilocybin studies. Check ClinicalTrials.gov for Phoenix and Tucson area enrolling trials.
Advocacy Organizations
Arizona Psilocybin Alliance, Healing Advocacy Fund, Veterans of War.
