How a centre is listed, and how to correct it

Who is listed

We list centres where the medicine they serve is licensed, unscheduled, unregulated or tolerated, and, under a separate label, where it is illegal under national law but retreats operate openly with no reported prosecution. Every listing states the law in its place, including where the medicine is illegal. A centre is listed only while it is verifiably operating. Centres that have closed, or lost or surrendered a licence, are removed. Peyote is never listed, whatever the local law says, for conservation and Indigenous sovereignty reasons.

Not listed, whatever a centre pays: peyote ceremonies anywhere; psilocybin mushrooms in the Netherlands (only fresh truffles are outside the Opium Act); psilocybin anywhere it is illegal and we have not documented open operation and an enforcement search; and anything operating in secret.

What a profile is built from

• 66 profiles come from the Oregon and Colorado state licence registers, with the centre's own website where it has one.
• The rest come from the centre's own website and, where they exist, independent sources. Every fact carries its source and the date it was read.
• Prices are what the centre publishes, with the page and date. 48 centres publish a price we could record; we never estimate one that is not published.
• 8 profiles carry a public-record section: reported deaths, regulator actions, legal cases or allegations, each dated and sourced.
• No centre has been independently audited, and every profile says so.

The Jid registry link

Some profiles carry a “Registry file on Jid” link. Jid, a sister company, compiles facts about businesses from public registries, and the link opens its file for that centre with the status word Jid shows (Active, Inactive, or Flags to check). We add the link only on a high-confidence match: exactly one Jid file under the centre's exact name, in the same country, with the state and city agreeing where both sides record them. Many centres trade under a brand name that differs from their registered one, so many profiles have no link, and a missing link says nothing against a centre. A file Jid cannot judge shows no status word. Matches are re-checked monthly. The link is not an endorsement or a safety rating, says nothing about the legality of what a centre offers, cannot be bought, and is not affected by featured placement. Check a business with Jid for any centre or operator before you pay.
