A journey happens only in a place where it is lawful, with a provider licensed there. This page is the list as of September 2026. Laws change; we check again before every client travels, and you should too.
These are the places we work with. Each has its own screening, its own rules about who may be in the room, and its own staff. The provider's law governs the day.
| Place | The framework | What it means for a client |
|---|---|---|
| Oregon, USA | Measure 109 (2020). State-licensed psilocybin service centers, with licensed facilitators, operating since 2023. | Adults 21+. No diagnosis required. The session takes place at a licensed center under a licensed facilitator; take-home is not allowed. |
| Colorado, USA | Natural Medicine Health Act (2022). State-licensed healing centers, the first licensed in 2025. | Adults 21+, supervised sessions at a licensed center. |
| New Mexico, USA | Legislation passed 2025; a medical program limited to qualifying diagnoses, expected to open late 2026. | Not yet open. Watch this space; we will not send anyone until it is. |
| Australia | Since July 1, 2023 an authorized psychiatrist may prescribe psilocybin for treatment-resistant depression. | Medical only, by an authorized psychiatrist, for a diagnosed condition. Not a retreat. |
| The Netherlands | Psilocybin truffles (sclerotia) are legal to sell and use; mushrooms themselves are not. Established retreat providers operate openly. | The most-used legal setting in Europe. Provider quality varies enormously; we work only with ones we have vetted ourselves. |
| Jamaica | Psilocybin mushrooms have never been scheduled under Jamaican law; retreats operate openly. | Legal, but unregulated — no license, no inspection. That puts more weight on choosing the provider, which is our job. |
Retreats operate in several countries — Mexico, Colombia, Brazil, Costa Rica, Portugal, Spain among them — where possession or traditional use is tolerated but the law is unclear or unenforced. We do not send clients there. "Nobody gets prosecuted" is not the same as legal, and the facilitator who travels with you is a Thai citizen carrying a Thai passport.
Psilocybin is a Category 5 narcotic under Thailand's Narcotics Code (B.E. 2564). Sale is punishable by up to five years' imprisonment and a fine of 500,000 baht, and by one to fifteen years where commercial distribution is found. Possession is an offense. A 2024 ministerial notification (effective April 23, 2024) opened a narrow door for approved clinical trials and licensed medical use under the Thai FDA — and nothing else. There is no legal way for a private person to obtain, hold or take psilocybin in Thailand, and no retreat here is lawful, whatever it calls itself.
So in Chiang Mai we do exactly three things: talk, screen, and plan. Preparation and integration are conversations. The facilitator does not carry anything, here or anywhere. If you are ever offered a "journey" in Thailand, walk away — and, if you want, tell us, so we can warn the next person.
Since June 26, 2025 cannabis in Thailand is a controlled herb under the Thai Traditional Medicine Act — lawful only within a medical framework, with a prescription from a licensed practitioner, and never a narcotic. Psilocybin is a narcotic. The custodial exposure differs roughly fifteen-fold. A reader who sees "drug raid in Chiang Mai" will assume one thing; the law says two very different ones. We do no cannabis work of any kind; the point here is only that the two must never be confused.
