South Dakota is reclassifying psilocybin from a banned Schedule I drug to a less-restricted Schedule IV controlled substance, but only when it's in a specific crystalline form approved by the FDA as a pharmaceutical product. This change allows FDA-approved psilocybin medications to be legally used in the state while keeping naturally occurring psilocybin illegal.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
The amendment makes minor technical and formatting corrections to the bill, including fixing a typo in a chemical name ("AM-22 087" to "AM-087"), correcting a hyphenation error ("1-10 position" to "1-position"), and cleaning up the legislative language and presentation style. These are substantive corrections that do not alter the bill's core purpose of rescheduling FDA-approved psilocybin as a Schedule IV controlled substance.
