Our Work in Oregon
One in three Americans currently report symptoms of depression and anxiety, and the problem is especially acute in Oregon. For some people, including those with conditions like treatment-resistant depression, psilocybin therapy could provide significant relief.
Oregon’s Groundbreaking Psilocybin Program
A carefully regulated, step-by-step process for rolling out psilocybin services:
Oregon’s Ballot Measure 109, passed by voters in 2020, established a robust regulatory framework to be administered by the Oregon Health Authority, the state agency responsible for psilocybin services.
In the two years following the measure’s passage, the Governor-appointed Psilocybin Advisory Board created rules and recommendations on the safety and efficacy of psilocybin, and guidelines for facilitators and service centers.
Now that the program has launched, Oregon has established a training and licensure system for facilitators, service centers, psilocybin manufacturers and testing laboratories, as well as a tracking system for all psilocybin products.
Applications for licensure are available through the Oregon Health Authority.
NOT allowed in Oregon’s psilocybin program:
Retail sales.
Off-site consumption, cultivation or possession.
Advertising of psilocybin products.
Unregulated or untracked psilocybin production, inventory or delivery.
Service centers near schools.
Access to minors.
What We Do
Advocate for regulations that create a state psilocybin program that is of high quality, accessible, and maximizes safety
Educate stakeholders, policymakers, regulators, and the general public on the Oregon psilocybin program
Support psilocybin service centers, training schools, and facilitators in getting off the ground with technical assistance, learning collaboratives, and high-quality programming
Serve as a convener for the Oregon psilocybin ecosystem to collaboratively address goals and challenges, organize around shared needs, deliver services to high standards and best practices, and create a vibrant network of psilocybin care that will serve as a model for the world
Get Involved
We are building new programs to support stakeholder groups—starting with service centers, training programs, and facilitators—that will make psilocybin care possible for Oregonians. This support includes access to high-quality technical assistance and programming, and coordinates stakeholders around shared goals and challenges.
Are you interested in starting a Psilocybin Service Center?
We are embarking on a discovery process to understand how to best support prospective clinics, treatment centers, and retreat centers. To get involved and stay up to date on program offerings, please sign up here.
“I was a Navy SEAL for 18½ years, and I was medically retired for PTSD. It made every facet of my life difficult. Psilocybin helped me become more present and start living fully again.”
