Psychedelic Retreats in Playa del Carmen

Located in the state of Quintana Roo, Playa del Carmen is located on the Caribbean shoreline of the Yucatán Peninsula. Considered more of a beach-town than Cancun, the town sits on white sand beaches and turquoise waters.

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.
