psilocybin

The number of places Oregonians can seek therapy using psilocybin shrank substantially this election.

On Friday, the Oregon Health Authority announced it had licensed EPIC Healing as the first psilocybin service provider in the state, completing the last step before someone legally takes psychedelic mushrooms in the state.

Oregonians voted to legalize the use of the psychedelic drug psilocybin in supervised facilities in 2020. But 27 of the state’s 36 counties now have the issue on their ballots again. The vote will have implications for residents seeking treatment across the Pacific Northwest.
