Description:
Oregon Psilocybin Services Act created the first comprehensive regulatory framework for psilocybin services in the nation. Oregon completed the development phase on December 31, 2022, and began accepting applications for licensure on January 2, 2023. Join Angie Allbee, Section Manger for Oregon Psilocybin Services, as she highlights the first two years of licensing and regulating manufacturers, laboratories, service centers, and facilitators in Oregon. Angie will discuss implementation challenges, considerations for centering equity, access, and affordability, and potential impacts to Oregonians seeking licensure or access to psilocybin services. Finally, Angie will discuss how psilocybin services aligns with the Oregon Health Authority’s goal to eliminate health inequities and is part of broader efforts to advance collective public health goals, such as Oregon’s State Health Improvement Plan, Healthier Together Oregon. Although research is promising, psilocybin remains a schedule I substance under the Federal Controlled Substances Act.
