In January 2023, the state of Oregon became the first state in the U.S. to allow for the controlled consumption of psilocybin, an active psychedelic ingredient in over 200 separate species of "magic mushroom.” It's famous for inspiring intense changes in a person’s consciousness and perception.
As other states may accept the substance, too, the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) specifically signed off on supervised service centers for psilocybin. Once in operation, adults ages 21 and above can come to these spaces to consume a single form of psilocybin, called Psilocybe cubensis, safely and securely.
