Oregon Psilocybin Services Act

The Oregon Psilocybin Services Act, enacted in 2020, legalizes the supervised use of psilocybin—the psychoactive compound in "magic mushrooms"—for therapeutic purposes. It establishes a regulated framework where trained licensed "facilitators" can administer psilocybin in approved settings, primarily for mental health treatment such as depression or anxiety. The law aims to provide safe, legal access under professional oversight while preventing misuse or unregulated sales. It sets up a state agency to oversee licensing, safety standards, and research, positioning Oregon as the first U.S. state to legalize psilocybin-assisted therapy.
