Is it legal to buy mushrooms in Santa Cruz?
California has not legalized psilocybin statewide — SB 519 stalled in 2022, and SB 58 was vetoed by Governor Newsom in 2023. But a growing list of California cities have deprioritized enforcement against entheogenic plants and fungi for personal use, including Oakland, Santa Cruz, San Francisco, Berkeley, and Arcata.
Practically, that means three different kinds of shop can show up in a search for "mushroom dispensary near me" in Santa Cruz: state-licensed psilocybin providers (only in Oregon and Colorado), gray-market shops in decriminalized cities, and legal Amanita muscaria retailers that can operate almost anywhere. We tag each one so you know what you're walking into. Read more in our California guide.
