In New Mexico, how are marijuana and psilocybin classified?

In New Mexico, both marijuana and psilocybin are classified as Schedule I substances. This classification is significant as it indicates that these substances are considered to have a high potential for abuse and are deemed to have no accepted medical use in treatment in the United States, according to federal regulations. Schedule I status reflects the legal stance that these substances are subject to stricter control measures and regulations compared to substances classified in lower schedules.

Marijuana, despite state-level legalization and therapeutic use in some cases, retains its Schedule I designation at the federal level, continuing the conflict between state and federal laws. Similarly, psilocybin, a naturally occurring psychedelic compound, is also classified under Schedule I due to its psychoactive effects and potential for abuse.

The other classifications (Schedule II, III, and IV) pertain to substances that have recognized medical uses and varying levels of control based on their potential for abuse and therapeutic value. Since marijuana and psilocybin are categorized under Schedule I, they do not fall into these classifications.
