Germany has legalized recreational cannabis, but psilocybin mushrooms remain illegal. Psilocybin and psilocin are listed as Annex I substances under the Narcotics Act (BtMG). Possession or cultivation of magic mushrooms is punishable under criminal law. Penalties range from fines for small amounts to up to five years imprisonment in extreme cases. Prosecutors often treat personal-consumption cases as minor and frequently resolve them with fines. Importing mushrooms purchased in the Netherlands into Germany is illegal. Germany has not decriminalised magic mushrooms like Switzerland, Austria or the Czech Republic. A quantity of 1.7 grams of pure psilocybin (about 120 regular doses) exceeds an "insignificant amount" and risks harsher punishment. Certain products such as grow-kits and mushroom edibles create legal ambiguity.
Can you take magic mushrooms in Germany? Not legally. Psilocybin and psilocin, the active compounds in magic mushrooms, are included among the Annex I substances in Germany's Narcotics Act (BtMG). In other words, magic mushrooms are considered illegal narcotics in Germany. Therefore the possession or cultivation of magic mushrooms is punishable under criminal law. Punishments range from a fine (for small amounts) up to five years imprisonment in extreme cases.
Compared to many other European countries, German law is quite strict on the use of hallucinogenic mushrooms. While you can legally embark on a fungus-fuelled psychedelic experience just over the border in the Netherlands, bringing any amount of the mushrooms purchased there back into Germany would be strictly against the law. Furthermore, Germany has yet to decriminalise magic mushrooms like many of its neighbours to the south have done including Switzerland, Austria and the Czech Republic.
