South Dakota currently bans psilocybin (a hallucinogenic substance) as a Schedule I controlled drug, but this bill creates an exception for FDA-approved psilocybin medications, which would be classified as Schedule IV drugs instead. This change would allow doctors to legally prescribe psilocybin-based medications that the federal government has approved, such as treatments for depression or other medical conditions, while keeping recreational psilocybin illegal.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
