Psychedelic Retreats in Tepoztlán

Officially designated a magical town, Tepoztlán is a colonial town located in the central Mexican state of Morelos. The town sits about forty-five miles from Mexico City and two thousand feet lower than it, so the climate is warm and spring-like almost all year round.   The area is famous for its vegetation and mineral springs, so it attracts lots of visitors looking for alternative wellness therapies.

History of Psychedelics in Mexico

While Mexico is pretty much ground zero when it comes to the resurgence of psychedelics thanks to Maria Sabina, Gordon Wasson and the Psilocybe mexicana. Psychedelic use is rooted in the country’s history, as many indigenous communities (Mayans/Aztecs) used psychedelic plants for religious reasons for millennia.

Legal Status of Psychedelics in Mexico

Understanding the nuance of Mexican drug laws is challenging as there are numerous conflicting laws at the state, regional and municipal levels.

Know this, Article 245 of Mexico’s General Health Law stipulates that mushrooms containing psilocybin are illegal, and the bill specifically identifies certain species that are illegal.  Additionally, psychedelic mushrooms can land the unfortunate soul caught with them in their possession a four (4) to seven (7) year prison sentence.

  • Psilocybin: Having said that,  Article 195 of Mexico’s Federal Penal Code allows for a religious exception, so authorities can’t prosecute you for using psilocybin mushrooms in traditional spiritual practices or ceremonies.
  • 5-MeO-DMT:  5-MeO-DMT also falls under the Article 195 exemption.
