Is Psilocybin legal in Slovenia?

Confirmed against a primary sourceVerified September 21, 2026
Legal status
Controlled in Slovenia. The annex to the Uredba o razvrstitvi prepovedanih drog names psilocibin at Group I, row 109. Article 2 of the Uredba provides «Seznam skupin prepovedanih drog iz prejšnjega člena je v Prilogi, ki je sestavni del te uredbe.», which makes the annex a constituent part of the regulation rather than a separate document, so the names belong to the Uredba and not to the Criminal Code. The search that produced this placement searched the single term psilocybin across all three groups. The entry is numbered 109 within that group in the copy that was read, and the number is reproduced only because the annex text itself prints it beside the entry. The entry names the phosphate ester itself, and the annex carries its dephosphorylated partner as a separate numbered entry. The annex was read on 20 September 2026 and this does not rule out a later amendment.
Consequences if caught
Capital exposure: none. Slovenia has abolished the death penalty and no Slovenian drug offence carries one, so this is a settled country level fact and not a reading of where any substance sits on the list. The exposure that does attach runs on three provisions. Personal use is handled under article 33 of the Production of and Trade in Illicit Drugs Act, the ZPPPD, which treats a smaller quantity held for one time personal use as a minor offence and carries a fine of roughly 42 to 209 euro, reduced or remitted where the person enters approved treatment. That article states no gram figure at all and it is a lighter route rather than a lawful possession allowance. Trafficking and manufacture fall under article 186 of the Criminal Code, the KZ-1, at one to ten years, rising to three to fifteen years on the aggravated limbs for organised conduct or conduct involving minors or vulnerable persons, and fifteen years under article 186, paragraphs 2 and 3, is the drug offence ceiling in Slovenian law. Facilitating consumption falls under article 187 at six months to twelve years. This substance is reached through its own entry at Group I, row 109, so those three provisions apply to it directly and nothing here rests on an inference from a neighbouring entry or from a class.
If prescribed or medical
The source read for this cell carries no prescription column, so no substance specific Slovenian medical route is stated here and none is assumed. The country level traveller rule is the one the source does state: Groups II and III of the annex can include medicines, and lawful travel still turns on the applicable prescription, the original dispensing packaging and any Schengen or Slovenian certificate that is required, with a foreign brand assessed through its proved active ingredients rather than its name. This row sits in Group I, which the source does not identify as one of the two groups capable of carrying medicines, so a Slovenian medical route for it is deferred here rather than stated.
Documentation
Carry any controlled medicine in its original dispensing packaging with the prescription, and carry a Schengen certificate where one is required for the substance and the length of stay. Confirm the requirement with the Slovenian embassy or consulate before travelling rather than at the border, and be ready to show the active ingredient, since a foreign brand name is assessed in Slovenia through its proved ingredients and not through the name on the box. The placement relied on for this row is Group I, row 109, and that is what was read on 20 September 2026. The annex to the Uredba o razvrstitvi prepovedanih drog was read on 20 September 2026. The dossier read for this cell names no edition and no amendment date for that annex, so the horizon of this cell is the reading date and nothing later, and this does not rule out a later amendment. The list moves by amendment of the Uredba itself, because article 2 of the Uredba makes the annex a constituent part of the regulation, so the Criminal Code can stay untouched while the names on the list change.
Primary sources
  • Slovenia, Uredba o razvrstitvi prepovedanih drog, article 2 and the annex in Groups I, II and III
  • read at https://pisrs.si/pregledPredpisa?id=URED7970 with the annex at https://pisrs.si/api/datoteke/integracije/403462486 on 20 September 2026. The entry relied on for this row is at Group I, row 109 of the annex. The Production of and Trade in Illicit Drugs Act, the ZPPPD, article 33, at https://pisrs.si/pregledPredpisa?id=ZAKO1388
  • the Criminal Code, the KZ-1, articles 186 and 187, at https://pisrs.si/pregledPredpisa?id=ZAKO5050. Annex entry headings are printed in capitals in the original and are re-voiced here in normal case. The fifteen year ceiling at article 186, paragraphs 2 and 3, and the absence of any death penalty, are stated by the dossier read for this cell. The fine band of roughly 42 to 209 euro under article 33, the one to ten and three to fifteen year ranges under article 186 and the six months to twelve years under article 187 are carried forward from the Slovenia entry already published and were not re-derived from the statute text in this pass
  • they do not contradict the ceiling the dossier states. The register publishes the Uredba, its annex, the Act and the Criminal Code for public reading, which is not an unrestricted licence to republish, so only the wording needed for verification is reproduced. No judicial ruling is relied on, and product composition, structural identity, medicinal authorisation and intent all remain fact sensitive. The dossier names no edition or amendment date for the annex, and this does not rule out a later amendment.
  • the group stated for this row was confirmed against the annex itself, read at the Slovenian legal information system on 21 September 2026: the entry printed as PSILOCIBIN stands under the heading SKUPINA I at its row 109. The group is a heading above the rows rather than a column on them, which is why no quotation of a single row can carry it, and this reading supersedes the earlier statement that the group rests on a locator column alone
