How this site makes money

Retreat centres

• Inclusion is never sold. A centre is listed under a published rule about the law where it operates, including a separate "Illegal but tolerated in practice" label for places where the medicine is prohibited but retreats operate openly with no reported prosecution, and the listing says which footing applies. Paying cannot add a centre, remove or change a public record, or change the safety notes or legal-status information on a profile.
• Featured placement is paid: $149 a month per centre (flat fee, billed monthly, cancel anytime). A featured centre is labelled "Featured" everywhere it appears, is placed first in the lists for its country or destination, and gets a profile with photos and links. Featured status never changes the safety notes or the legal-status information, and never adds a Verified check. Any listed centre can buy it, including one with a public record (a reported death, a regulator action, a legal case or a recent allegation, under the record policy in our terms); that record stays on its profile in full and its listing is still marked "Public record".
• Verified checks are paid: $295 a year per centre. A centre can pay us to check its facility licence and its physicians' registrations on official registers, or to look at the document where no public register exists. Its profile then shows a "Verified checks" panel listing only the checks that passed, each with what it covers and does not, where we saw it and when; each lapses after 12 months. Centres pay a flat fee of $295 a year for these checks. The fee is charged whether or not a check passes, and it does not affect anything else on the profile. No refund is given when a check fails, and a failed check is simply not shown. Where we waived the fee, the panel says so. A check is not an inspection or a safety rating and never changes the order of any list, the reviews, the public record, safety notes or legal status. How it works.
• Referral commissions from some retreat centres. A retreat centre outside the United States can pay Peyote.com a commission on a booking that came through the site, through a tracked link or a written referral agreement. Each such centre is labelled "Peyote.com may earn a commission if you book" on its profile and in every list, and links to it are marked sponsored. A commission never changes the order of any list (only Featured placement does), never affects which reviews appear, and never changes a centre's public record, safety notes, legal status or Verified checks. The price you pay is set by the centre. An earning centre can also appear in a box labelled "Featured partner" on the home page and in our guides, hubs and lists; that box never sits inside, or reorders, a list. Every link that can earn us a commission carries a short "Affiliate link" note that leads to the explanation below. Centres that pay us a commission: Rythmia Life Advancement Center (Rythmia affiliate programme, since 29 Oct 2026). Full terms below.
• Booking requests in Oregon and Colorado: free to the client. On /book a reader can ask up to three state-licensed centres for dates and an all-in price, compare the answers and choose one. Peyote.com booking fee: none. You pay Peyote.com nothing. The fee, when it is charged, pays for Peyote.com's own service (the request, the side-by-side answers, the introductions) and is shown as its own line before any payment. You pay the centre directly for its sessions and the psilocybin product, and any tax. Peyote.com never takes or holds that money. The booking fee is refunded in full if the centre cancels or declines after you confirm, and you are never charged it if no centre answers within 5 business days. Oregon and Colorado centres and facilitators pay Peyote.com no commission and no per-booking fee. The order of every list is never for sale, except the labelled flat-fee Featured placement. The reasons are in the Oregon and Colorado entry under who we never take commissions from.
• We do not sell leads. We never sell or rent readers' personal data. Centres pay no per-lead or per-enquiry fee, an enquiry goes only to the one centre the reader asks us to send it to, and a booking request only to the centres the reader names.
• Enquiries are shared only with your consent. A reader can send an enquiry about a centre from its profile. It comes to Peyote.com. If, and only if, the reader ticks the box "Share my enquiry with [centre name] so they can reply to me directly" (unticked by default), we send it to that one named centre and no one else. Without the tick it stays with Peyote.com. The privacy policy sets out what is stored.

Commissions and who we never take them from

Commissions are agreed with each centre in writing, at a rate set per centre. We take none on a booking paid for by a health insurer or health plan. Our condition and addiction pages, including the page on ibogaine for opioid addiction, carry no commission links and promote no centre that pays one. We take no referral, per-lead, per-admission or per-patient payment of any kind from:

• US addiction and substance-use treatment providers, recovery residences and laboratories

  The federal Eliminating Kickbacks in Recovery Act makes it a crime to pay or receive anything of value for referring a patient to a recovery home, clinical treatment facility or laboratory, whether the care is paid for by a public or a private plan, and state patient-brokering laws reach any person who pays or receives a commission for a referral.

  Sources: 18 U.S.C. 220 (EKRA); 18 U.S.C. 24(b), health care benefit program; Florida Patient Brokering Act, s. 817.505

• Any US healthcare provider or clinic, including ketamine and Spravato (esketamine) clinics

  The federal Anti-Kickback Statute forbids paying for referrals of care a federal health programme pays for, and state fee-splitting and patient-solicitation laws forbid paying for patient referrals to licensed providers, in Texas whoever pays for the care.

  Sources: 42 U.S.C. 1320a-7b(b) (Anti-Kickback Statute); Texas Occupations Code 102.001; California Business and Professions Code 650

• Clinical-trial sponsors and trial sites

  Payment solely for referring a patient to a research study is fee splitting under the AMA Code of Medical Ethics.

• Oregon and Colorado state-licensed psilocybin service centres, healing centres and facilitators

  In Oregon, a right to a share of a licensed centre's revenue is a "financial interest". The centre must list and disclose whoever holds it, no one may hold a financial interest in more than five service centres, and a holder entitled to 20 percent or more of a centre's revenue becomes an "applicant" the Oregon Health Authority must approve and background-check. In Colorado, an agreement to receive part of a healing centre's revenue makes the recipient an "Owner", who must hold a state Owner License and may hold a financial interest in no more than five natural medicine businesses. A commission would make Peyote.com one of those interest holders. Colorado's facilitator rules separately bar a facilitator from paying other facilitators, healing centres or health professionals for referrals; that rule does not name a booking site, but referrals there are to be made without brokering, so we take no per-booking payment from Oregon or Colorado facilitators either. We take no commission and no per-booking fee from any of them. The only per-booking money is a booking fee the client pays Peyote.com for its own service, shown before payment, and the only payment a centre can make is the flat Featured fee.

This is our policy, not legal advice. The terms set it out as well.
