Frequently Asked Questions

Psilocybin is a naturally occurring psychedelic compound found in certain species of mushrooms, commonly referred to as "magic mushrooms." When ingested, psilocybin is metabolized into psilocin, which interacts with serotonin receptors in the brain, leading to altered perception, mood changes, and sometimes profound spiritual experiences. It has been used for centuries in various cultures for ceremonial, spiritual, and recreational purposes.

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.  

Psilocybin is a schedule 1 controlled substance under federal law.
