Is psilocybin on Nevada's 2026 ballot?

What's on Nevada's statewide ballot?

Two constitutional amendments, and neither is about drugs. FOX5 reported on Sept. 29 that the Secretary of State's official 2026 Ballot Question Guide covers Question 6, which would make abortion access an individual right in the Nevada Constitution, and Question 7, which would require photo ID to vote in person and ID verification for mail ballots.¹

Both questions passed in 2024 and need a second yes vote in 2026 to change the constitution.¹ There are no Questions 1 through 5: News 4 and Fox 11 in Reno reported in July that the two measures keep their 2024 numbers so voters aren't confused. The same report said two is the smallest number of statewide questions since 2012, after efforts on other subjects, including transgender student athletes and redistricting, failed to qualify before the late-June deadline.²

We tried to read the Secretary of State's guide directly, but the office's website blocked our request, so this list rests on FOX5's report of the guide.

Is there a local mushroom measure anywhere in Nevada?

We found none reported. In Clark County, the only local measures FOX5 listed are two in Boulder City: one on land-use rules for data centers and one on how the city spends its Capital Improvement Fund.¹

FOX5 also said local questions are set for Churchill, Douglas, Lincoln and Washoe counties, without describing them.¹ We found no report that any of them concerns psilocybin or other drugs, but because the state guide was blocked we couldn't check them one by one. If that changes, we'll correct this post.

What does this mean for psilocybin in Nevada?

Nothing changes on Nov. 3. Psilocybin and psilocin are on Nevada's Schedule I list in NAC 453.510,³ and possessing a Schedule I drug is a crime under NRS 453.336.⁴ Federal law lists both in Schedule I as well; the DEA's controlled substances list dated Oct. 21, 2026 still shows them there.⁵ Our Nevada psilocybin law tracker sets out the penalty tiers and the bill history. Anyone facing a charge should talk to a Nevada criminal defense lawyer.

With nothing on the ballot, the next place a change to state law could start is the Legislature. Nevada's Constitution has regular sessions begin on the first Monday of February after an election,⁶ which puts the next one on Feb. 1, 2027. In 2025, legislators adopted SJR 10, a resolution urging Congress and federal agencies to reschedule psilocybin and several other compounds. It asked Washington to act and changed no Nevada law.⁷ We walk through the federal and state steps in when psilocybin could be legal in Nevada.

What are Nevada's neighbors voting on?

Idaho voters decide House Joint Resolution 4 on Nov. 3, according to the Idaho Secretary of State's official voter pamphlet.⁸ The pamphlet says a yes vote would give the Idaho Legislature exclusive authority to legalize "marijuana, narcotics, or other psychoactive substances," and a no vote would leave the constitution as it is, which allows changes to Idaho's controlled substances laws through the citizen initiative process.⁸ The Idaho House adopted the resolution 58 to 10 and the Senate 29 to 6 in March 2025.⁹

In central Oregon, The Source Weekly reported on Aug. 25 that Redmond voters will decide whether to continue a temporary ban on licensed psilocybin businesses, the city's third psilocybin vote in five years.¹⁰ We couldn't confirm the measure in city or county election records. A Redmond result would apply only in Redmond. The licensed Oregon service centers closest to Las Vegas are in Ashland, and our guide to legal psilocybin near Las Vegas lists them by road distance. Whatever Oregon voters decide, psilocybin carried back into Nevada is still a Schedule I drug here,³ and possessing it is a crime.⁴
