Rhode Island Psilocybin Mushrooms ban status: ban in force
Rhode Island no longer prints its own schedules: P.L. 2024, ch. 390 and 391 repealed the statutory list (R.I. Gen. Laws 21-28-2.08) effective Feb. 1, 2025 and amended 21-28-2.01 so that the director of health controls all substances enumerated in the most current version of Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations, which 21-28-2.01(c) makes the state list. The RIDOH Controlled Substance Listing (April 2026) says the same. 21 CFR 1308.11(d) lists Psilocybin at (d)(29) and Psilocyn at (d)(30); mushrooms are captured by the (d) lead-in covering any material, compound, mixture, or preparation which contains any quantity of a listed hallucinogen. No Rhode Island spore, mycelium or cultivation statute was found. Rhode Island has no psilocybin program. Bills to exempt possession of under one ounce of psilocybin and home cultivation (H 5186 in 2025; H 7756 and H 7925 in 2026) were not enacted; no Sec. 21-28-2.11 appears in the General Laws. Federally Schedule I (see the federal page).

The director of the department of health shall control all substances enumerated in
the most current version of Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations (C.F.R.) and
may by motion or on the petition of any interested party pursuant to the procedures
of chapter 35 of title 42, the Administrative Procedures Act, add, reschedule, or delete a substance as a controlled
substance. In making this determination, the director of health shall consider, but
not be limited to the following:

Its actual or relative potential for abuse;
(ii)
Scientific evidence of its pharmacological effect if known;
(iii)
State of current scientific knowledge regarding the substance;
(iv)
Its history and current pattern of abuse;
(v)
The scope, duration, and significance of abuse;
(vi)
What, if any, risk there is to the public health;
(vii)
Its psychic or physiological dependence liability;
(viii)
Whether the substance is an immediate precursor of a substance already controlled
under this chapter.
(2)
After considering the factors in subdivision (1) of this section the director of health
shall make findings with respect to these factors and shall issue an order controlling
the substance if it is found that the substance has potential for abuse.
(b)
If the director of health designates a substance as an immediate precursor, substances
which are precursors of the controlled precursor shall not be subject to control solely
because they are precursors of the controlled precursor.
(c)
The director of the department of health shall reference the current version of Title
21 of the C.F.R. as the current list of substances designated, rescheduled, or deleted
as a controlled substance for the state. If the director objects to inclusion, rescheduling,
or deletion of any substance under the current federal law, or if the director adds
or reschedules a controlled substance pursuant to the authority provided in this chapter,
the director shall file that decision with the secretary of state and post exempted
substances on the department of health website.ee72c3a8fb7ba56b(c)
