Where psilocybin is legal nearest Las Vegas, by road

Is there legal psilocybin near Las Vegas?

Not in Nevada, where psilocybin is a Schedule I drug². The closest place you can legally take part in a psilocybin session is a licensed Colorado healing center in Durango, about 537 miles by road from the Strip (about 10 hours 45 minutes without traffic or stops). The closest Oregon service centers are in Ashland, about 724 miles away (about 14 hours 30 minutes). New Mexico has a medical program on the books, but it isn't enrolling patients yet¹³.

Licensed centers in both states are listed below, nearest first, with the rules that apply to someone driving or flying in from Nevada. If you'd rather stay closer to home, the only legal route is a clinical trial; see psilocybin therapy in Las Vegas for the trials with Las Vegas and nearby sites.

Every licensed center, nearest first

This list has 67 entries: the 47 healing centers on Colorado's official license lookup and the 20 service centers on Oregon's public licensee directory, as both stood on November 2, 2026⁹⁴. Each marker shows the road miles from the Las Vegas Strip, rounded to the nearest mile, and the drive time without traffic or stops. The first ten are shown; open the list for the rest, or download the full table.

A license on these lists doesn't mean a center is open, has space or will accept you. Facilitators in Oregon may decline a client for any reason⁴, so contact a center before you plan a trip.

How we measured the distances

Every distance starts from one point on the Las Vegas Strip, latitude 36.1147, longitude -115.1728. We sent one driving route request per destination to the public demo server of OSRM, an open-source routing engine that runs on OpenStreetMap road data¹⁵. The destination is the center of the city or town each licensed center is in, found with OpenStreetMap's Nominatim geocoder, not the center's street address. Several centers publish no street address, and Oregon's directory gives none at all, so city centers keep the method the same for every row.

• Miles are road miles along OSRM's route, rounded to the nearest whole mile.
• Times are OSRM's free-flow estimates, rounded to the nearest quarter hour. They assume no traffic, no fuel or rest stops, no construction and no seasonal closures, so a real drive takes longer. A phone map app may pick a different route.
• Oregon's list comes from the state's public licensee directory, which shows only licensees that agreed to be listed⁴. Colorado's list comes from the Natural Medicine Division's license lookup, filtered to approved healing centers⁹.
• Where we show a street address, it comes from the operator's own website (Oregon) or from a self-reported directory the Colorado Division links to, not from a license record.

The CSV and JSON files above carry every row with its source links and the date checked. They're free to reuse under CC BY 4.0 with a link back to this page. If you spot a center that has closed or a new license we've missed, the about page explains how to reach us.

Oregon: the rules for a Nevada visitor

Oregon's program is open to visitors. In the Oregon Health Authority's own words, "Clients do not need to live in Oregon to access psilocybin services." You must be 21 or older, and you don't need a prescription or a medical referral⁴.

• ID. Before any sale or session, the service center and the facilitator must see a valid, unexpired government-issued photo ID that shows you're 21 or older. A driver license from any U.S. state counts, as do passports and U.S. military ID cards (OAR 333-333-4490)⁵.
• Preparation first. You have to complete a preparation session with a licensed facilitator before an administration session. It covers informed consent, a client information form, a safety and support plan and a transportation plan⁴.
• Who may be turned away. OHA says a client may be found ineligible if they're having thoughts of harming themselves or others, have taken lithium within 30 days, or have ever been diagnosed with active psychosis⁴.
• Where you take it. Psilocybin can only be bought at a licensed service center during an administration session, and that session is the only time a client may buy and consume it. Clients must stay at the center for a minimum time set by the rules⁴.
• Nothing to take home. A service center may not let a client take any psilocybin product off its premises (OAR 333-333-4480)⁵, and OHA says products "may not be purchased and taken off-site"⁴.
• Afterward. Facilitators follow up within 72 hours and offer an integration session⁴.
• Cost. OHA doesn't set or regulate prices; each service center and facilitator sets its own⁴. Ask for a full quote, including any sessions on separate days, before you book travel.

The program has shrunk. OHA's August 2026 budget summary counts 39 service center licenses approved since 2023 and 20 still approved as of July 23, 2026, and says over 33% of service centers have surrendered or not renewed their licenses⁶. A proposed fee increase for 2027 was withdrawn in September 2026; see Oregon drops its psilocybin fee increase.

How many Oregon clients come from out of state?

A lot of them, though the exact share depends on which denominator you use. Oregon asks clients for their county of residence on a standard data form. Anyone living elsewhere in the U.S. is counted as "Other Within USA", with no state breakdown, so there's no published count of Nevadans⁷.

Sources: the 2025 figures come from OHA's 2025 year-end summary⁷ and the 2026 quarters from OHA's quarterly data files⁸. The 2,114 is the figure in OHA's August 2026 budget summary, which reports 2,114 clients who "traveled to Oregon from another U.S. state" as of March 31, 2026, plus 200 from outside the U.S.⁶ It gives no start date, but OHA has only collected client data since January 1, 2025, and the figures match the published data exactly: 2,114 is 1,753 (2025) plus 361 (first quarter of 2026), and the 200 from abroad and 485 who didn't answer add up the same way⁷⁸. So the count covers those 15 months, and we divided it by the 6,887 clients served in them. The percentages are our arithmetic.

Three caveats keep these from being exact shares:

• Opt-outs. Clients can opt out of having their form data sent to OHA, and they can answer "Don't want to answer" to any question⁷. OHA began publishing the opt-out count in 2026 (139 in the first quarter, 291 in the second)⁸. In 2025, 446 clients declined the residence question⁷. Opted-out and declining clients aren't in the out-of-state counts, so the real number of visitors is probably higher.
• Suppressed cells. OHA withholds small counts (for example, fewer than 12 responses) to protect privacy, so many Oregon counties aren't published and the published residence numbers don't add up to the clients served⁷. That's why we show shares of all clients served, plus, for 2026, the share of clients who didn't opt out.
• Missing clients. The summary's own residence breakdown covers 4,454 of the 6,887 clients served: 2,114 from other states, 200 from abroad, 1,516 from Oregon counties, 485 who didn't answer and 139 who opted out⁶. The other 2,433 aren't accounted for. The 1,516 equals the Oregon county counts OHA published (1,238 in 2025 plus 278 in the first quarter of 2026), which leave out suppressed counties⁷⁸, so the 47.5% share of the 4,454 runs high. Treat 30.7% as a floor, not an estimate.

We cover the August 2026 figures in more detail in Oregon's out-of-state psilocybin clients.

Colorado: the rules for a Nevada visitor

Colorado's regulated program runs through licensed healing centers. The Natural Medicine Division's homepage listed 47 approved healing center licenses as of October 30, 2026: 12 standard and 35 micro⁹. The state rules (1 CCR 213-1) define a participant as a person 21 or older who receives natural medicine services from, or under the supervision of, a licensed facilitator. Those services are a preparation session, an administration session and an integration session¹⁰.

• ID. Rule 8015 requires the center to confirm you're 21 or older. It accepts a driver's license or ID card issued by any U.S. state, the District of Columbia or a U.S. territory, a U.S. military or other federal ID, or a passport¹⁰.
• Residency. We found no residency requirement in the rules or in the Division's FAQ, and the ID rule accepts out-of-state licenses¹⁰¹². We also found no line that says outright that non-residents may take part, so confirm with the center before you travel.
• Where you take it. The rules define an administration session as one held at a healing center, or at another location the law allows, under a facilitator's supervision¹⁰.
• Nothing to take home. Rule 8010 bars a healing center from letting a participant take any regulated natural medicine away from the center¹⁰. A new limited sales license, created by HB 26-1325 and set out in emergency Rule 8006, lets a business co-located with a healing center sell to participants just before an administration session, but never for use anywhere other than that healing center¹⁰. The Division's lookup showed no such licenses on November 2, 2026⁹.

Several of the rules cited here, including the ID rule and the limited sales license, are emergency rules that took effect August 12, 2026; the take-home ban in Rule 8010 is a permanent rule¹⁰. Emergency rules in Colorado lapse unless made permanent, so details may change. For what the 2026 law changed, see Colorado's HB 26-1325.

Outside the licensed centers, Colorado's personal-use law lets adults 21 and over possess natural medicine and share it in limited settings, but the Division's guidance is blunt: "No one can sell natural medicine" outside the licensed system¹¹. Colorado law also doesn't change federal law, under which psilocybin stays in Schedule I³, or Nevada's.

New Mexico: a medical program that isn't open yet

New Mexico's Medical Psilocybin Act (SB 219) became law in 2025. The Department of Health's goal is "enrolling the first patients by the end of December 2026", and it says enrollment "has not yet started" and that psilocybin "is not legally available in New Mexico outside of clinical research"¹³. The law itself gives the department more time: it must "by December 31, 2027, implement the program"¹⁴. So December 31, 2026 is the department's target, and December 31, 2027 is the legal deadline.

It will be a medical program, not open access. The law's qualifying conditions are major treatment-resistant depression, posttraumatic stress disorder, substance use disorders and end-of-life care, plus others the department approves, and a patient qualifies only when a New Mexico-licensed clinician with a state permit finds them a medically appropriate candidate¹⁴. The law's definition of a qualified patient contains no residency requirement¹⁴. The draft patient rule (7.35.3 NMAC) asks applicants for a copy of a driver's license or comparable photo ID, doesn't list New Mexico residency either, and allows psilocybin to be used only at a healing center or another location the department approves¹³. The posted draft has no effective date yet, so this could change. Albuquerque is about 572 miles from the Strip by road (about 10 hours) and Santa Fe about 632 miles (about 11 hours 15 minutes). We'll add New Mexico locations to the list when the state licenses them; see New Mexico's psilocybin rule hearing for the latest.

Can you bring psilocybin back to Nevada?

No. Neither Oregon nor Colorado lets you leave a licensed center with psilocybin⁵¹⁰, and anything obtained another way is still illegal once it crosses into Nevada. Nevada lists psilocybin and psilocin in Schedule I (NAC 453.510)². NRS 453.321 makes it unlawful to "import, transport, sell, exchange, barter, supply, prescribe, dispense, give away or administer" a controlled substance, and for a Schedule I drug a first offense is a category C felony; simple possession is a separate crime under NRS 453.336¹. Psilocybin is also Schedule I under federal law, which applies in every state³.

The penalty tiers are laid out in Nevada psilocybin law, and the rules for travelers, including airports and federal land, are in visiting Las Vegas. This is a description of the statutes, not legal advice; anyone facing a charge should talk to a Nevada criminal defense lawyer.

One more practical point: plan not to drive after a session. Oregon's preparation session includes a transportation plan for exactly this reason⁴, and a 10 to 15 hour drive home isn't something to start right after a session.
