Hallucinogens are illegal in Australia . Federal, State and Territory laws provide penalties for possessing, using, making or selling hallucinogens. Drug laws in Australia distinguish between those who use drugs and those who supply or traffic drugs.

At present in Victoria , penalties range from a $2000 fine and/or one-year imprisonment for cultivation (if the Court is satisfied that the offence is not related to trafficking), $3000 and/or one-year imprisonment for possession/use (not relating to trafficking) to fines of up to $250 000 and/or 25 years’ imprisonment for commercial trafficking.

In Victoria , the Police and Courts have introduced a number of schemes in relation to drug offences. Some of these aim to divert people from the criminal justice system, others involve referring people with a drug problem to treatment programs.
