Oregon launches legal psilocybin, known as "magic mushrooms" access to the public


Recommended Posts

Oregon has taken an unprecedented step in offering psilocybin, also known as magic mushrooms, to the public. Epic Healing Eugene - America's first licensed psilocybin service center - opened in June, marking Oregon's unprecedented step in offering the mind-bending drug to the public. The center now has a waitlist of more than 3,000 names, including people with depression, PTSD or end-of-life dread.

No prescription or referral is needed, but proponents hope Oregon's legalization will spark a revolution in mental health care. Clients do not need to live in Oregon to access psilocybin services but must be 21 years of age or older, said the state's Oregon Psilocybin Services. A preparation session must be completed with a licensed facilitator, the agency said.

This is great news and I support it, but does anyone else find this to be more than a little misleading? It sounds as if the state itself is selling psilocybin/running mushroom sessions, not licensing clinics to do so.

If you want real information and not a sales pitch, go here (https://www.oregon.gov/oha/ph/preventionwellness/pages/oregon-psilocybin-services.aspx).
