The Oregon Health Authority licensed the state’s first psilocybin service center this week.
Information released by the OHA this morning said as part of the regulatory framework created by M109, the Oregon Psilocybin Services Act, the first official license to provide psilocybin to residents.
The Oregon Psilocybin Services, or OPS, Section Manager Angie Allbee, said the historic license was issued to Cathy Jonas and EPIC Healing Eugene.
Allbee said, “Psilocybin services will soon become available in Oregon, and we appreciate the strong commitment to client safety as service center doors prepare to open.”
Under the statewide model, clients 21 years of age or older may access psilocybin services. No prescription or referrals from a healthcare provider will be need. However, clients must first complete a preparation session with a licensed facilitator.
If an individual meets the outlined criteria to move forward, they may participate in an administration session at a licensed service center, where they may consume psilocybin products in the presence of a trained and licensed facilitator.
Service centers will sell psilocybin products that were produced by licensed manufacturers and tested by licensed laboratories.
To date, OPS has issued three manufacturer licenses, one laboratory license, five facilitator licenses, and 84 worker permits.
