Inclusion Criteria: * Aged 18 years old, and older * Have OCD (DSM-5) based on diagnostic interview using the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-5 Research Version (SCID). * At least moderate severity: Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (YBOCS) score ≥16. * Failed at least one adequate trial of guideline concordant treatment. * Considered safe for independent living * Subjects must discontinue use of any of the following prescription or over the counter (OTC) products or nutritional supplements at least two weeks prior to initiating double-blind treatment: * Monoamine oxidase (MAOI), UGT1A10, and UGT1A9 inhibitors * Other active OCD treatments (cognitive behavioral therapy \[CBT\] or other psychotherapy; electrical or magnetic device treatments; pharmacological treatments such as antidepressant medications (e.g., SSRIs, SNRIs, MAOIs, TCAs, 5HT2 blockers, NERIs, etc.), lithium, antipsychotic drugs, 5-HT2 antagonists such as pimavanserin, and glutamatergic acting medications) \* Note that fluoxetine must be discontinued at least 6 weeks prior to initiating double-blind treatment. * 5HT2 agonists (e.g., efavirenz, lorcaserin), which may alter the response to psilocybin * Serotonin-acting dietary supplements (e.g., 5-hydroxy-tryptophan, St. John's wort) due to potential for interaction with psilocybin and increased safety risks Exclusion Criteria: * Concurrent active substance use disorder, or a personal history of psychosis. * History of psychosis among first degree relatives as determined by the Family Interview for Genetic Studies (FIGS)32 * Medical illness based on physical examination and routine blood testing that may complicate cardiovascular safety or drug metabolism or excretion. Examples include: 1) Cardiovascular conditions: lifetime history of stroke, lifetime myocardial infarction, uncontrolled hypertension (resting blood pressure \>140/90 mmHg), tachycardia (resting heart rate \>100 beats per minute), elongated QT interval corrected by Fridericia's formula (QTcF; interval \>450 msec), participants with existing valvular heart disease, or clinically significant arrhythmia (\<1 year prior to signing the ICF); 2) Metabolic conditions: subjects with diabetes should have a stable diabetes treatment regimen and no history of diabetic ketoacidosis, hyperglycemic coma, or no hypoglycemic episodes with glucose below 54 mg/dL in the 3 months prior to baseline, and fasting glucose \>70 mg/dL at baseline; 3) Severe renal impairment: eGFR \<45 mL/min/1.73 m²); and Liver failure: Child-Pugh Classes B and C. * Unstable Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) or severe sleep apnea * Clinically significant renal or hepatic impairment, per clinical judgment of a study physician * EKG QTc ≥ 450 msec * Psychiatric comorbidity that may represent an acute risk to their own or other's safety, including history of bipolar disorder (I or II) in the participant or first degree relative, as well as any family history of psychosis. * Subjects cannot require any sedative, narcotic, or neuroleptic medications on a regular basis. Any of these medications they have taken should have been stopped long enough in the past to allow for their elimination and safe withdrawal prior to starting administration of the study drug. The specific time required will be dependent on the medication the patient was previously receiving. * Participants who are pregnant, breastfeeding, planning a pregnancy, or planning to donate sperm within three months post-last study drug administration. * Participants of childbearing potential or participants with partners of childbearing potential who engage in intercourse which could result in pregnancy are unwilling/unable to practice medically acceptable highly effective birth control (double barrier, oral and injectable pharmacological contraceptives, or surgical such as vasectomy or bilateral tubal occlusion) during the study and up to three months after the last study drug administration. * Suicide attempt within the 12 months prior to enrollment * Any condition for which MRI is contraindicated, at the discretion of a study investigator or the MRI technician, including: Pacemakers and defibrillators; artificial heart valves which are not MRI safe; any metal in head, spinal cord, eyes or chest; any electrical devices such as cochlear implants, nerve stimulators, deep brain stimulators, gastric pacemaker, or insulin or pain pumps; aneurysm clips; ferrous (i.e. non titanium alloy) implants in any part of the body. * Use within the week prior to screening of drugs of abuse as listed in the current US DOJ DEA Drugs of Abuse Resource Guide, including: * Cannabinoids (marijuana, synthetic cannabinoids) * Simulants (amphetamine, cocaine, methamphetamine, methylphenidate, modafinil) * Opioids (natural and synthetic), * Sedatives (benzodiazepines, barbiturates, GHB, zolpidem, zaleplon, zopiclone) * Hallucinogens (DMT, ibogaine, LSD, MDMA, psilocybin, psilocin, PSP) * Weight below 45kg * Allergy or significant intolerance to chocolate or cocoa
