Consultation has concluded

In November 2020, Oregon voters passed Measure 109, which directs the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) to license and regulate psilocybin products and the provision of psilocybin services. Licensing is planned to begin in early 2023.


What is psilocybin?

Psilocybin is a naturally occurring psychedelic compound. It is found in over 200 species of fungi (mushrooms). For centuries Indigenous and Tribal communities around the world have used psilocybin for spiritual, ceremonial and other purposes.

Psilocybin services will soon be an option in Oregon. However, psilocybin is still a Schedule I substance under the Federal Controlled Substances Act.


How was psilocybin legalized?

The Oregon Psilocybin Services Act Ballot Measure 109 (M109) is also known as the Oregon Psilocybin Services Act. It was voted into law by Oregonians in November 2020. It is codified in Oregon Revised Statutes in ORS 475A. M109 directs Oregon Health Authority (OHA) to license and regulate psilocybin products and the provision of psilocybin services.

Oregon is the first state in the U.S. to create a regulatory framework for psilocybin services.


What are the intended purposes of psilocybin?

In Oregon, “psilocybin services” refers to preparation, administration and integration sessions provided by a licensed facilitator. The psilocybin products consumed must be cultivated or produced by a licensed psilocybin manufacturer and may only be provided to a client at a licensed psilocybin service center during an administration session.

Psilocybin services will be available to people age 21 or older and will not require a prescription or medical referral. People accessing psilocybin services are called “clients”.

 

Who regulates psilocybin operations?

The primary regulatory authority for psilocybin facilities will be Oregon Psilocybin Services (OPS), which is a division of the Oregon Health Authority (OHA).


When will psilocybin facilities begin operations?

The OPS must have rules in place by December 31, 2022. The state will begin taking license applications on Jan. 2, 2023.


What are the state’s time, place, and manner restrictions?

  • Psilocybin facilities must be located at least 1,000 feet from any public or private K-12 school.
  • Psilocybin facilities are prohibited in exclusively residential zones.


Is the City of Tigard considering any further restrictions on psilocybin facilities?

The City has opted to treat these facilities the same as any other manufacturing, storage, distribution, and professional services use without any additional restrictions other than those imposed by the State of Oregon.
