Research-Backed Information for Seattle's Psilocybin Community

Seattle passed Resolution 32021 in October 2021, making enforcement of laws against psilocybin the city's lowest priority. That changed the practical landscape but not the law. Psilocybin remains a Schedule I substance under both Washington state and federal law. Decriminalized does not mean legal.

This site covers the legal boundaries, clinical evidence, safety protocols, species found in the Pacific Northwest, and the organizations building Seattle's psychedelic community. Every claim is sourced. No dosing instructions. No sales. Information only.

This site is for educational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice. Psilocybin is a Schedule I controlled substance under federal law and Washington state law.
