Is psilocybin legal in Oregon?

Licensed · Psilocybin

State-licensed psilocybin services under ORS 475A (Measure 109), for adults 21 and over.

The Oregon Health Authority licenses psilocybin service centres, facilitators and manufacturers under ORS 475A. Psilocybin may be used only at a licensed service centre with a facilitator, with no take-home or retail sale, and only by adults 21 and over. Cities and counties can vote to ban psilocybin businesses locally. Psilocybin remains a Schedule I substance under federal law.

What the sources say

Source: Oregon Psilocybin Services (OPS) Licensee Directory, Oregon Health Authority, Public Health Division, Oregon Psilocybin Services Section, read 28 Sep 2026. The OHA directory lists only licensees who consent to be listed, publishes no licence numbers, cities or statuses, and OHA says it is not used for licence verification. Cities come from each centre's own website. Centres the register shows as closed, withdrawn or surrendered are not listed. A state licence is not an audit.

What to check before booking

Oregon's rules set some medical exclusions in law; these are the sourced ones, and the questions any licensed centre should ask you.

  • Lithium: seizure riskSerious risk

    An analysis of online reports found that 47% of 62 reports of lithium taken with a classic psychedelic (such as psilocybin or LSD) involved seizures and 39% involved medical attention, while none of 34 lamotrigine reports did. The authors provisionally concluded psychedelic use may pose a significant seizure risk for people on lithium. (Pharmacopsychiatry, 2021)

  • Oregon bars recent lithium usersSerious risk

    Oregon's required Client Information Form asks whether the client has taken lithium in the last 30 days; a yes answer means the client may not participate in an administration session. (Oregon Health Authority, Public Health Division, 2026)

  • Psychosis and severe psychiatric historySerious risk

    Published research safety guidelines recommend excluding volunteers with a personal or family history of psychotic disorders or other severe psychiatric disorders, and note prolonged psychoses triggered by hallucinogens are less common than acute distress. Oregon's Client Information Form bars anyone who has ever been diagnosed with or treated for active psychosis. (Journal of Psychopharmacology, 2008; Oregon Health Authority, Public Health Division, 2026)

  • Bipolar disorderSerious risk

    In an international survey of 541 people with self-reported bipolar disorder who had used psilocybin, 32.2% described new or increasing symptoms after trips, prominently manic symptoms, sleep problems and anxiety; 3.3% used emergency medical services. The authors say bipolar symptoms may emerge or intensify after psilocybin use. (Journal of Psychopharmacology, 2023)

  • Tricyclic antidepressants and lithium may intensify effectsWorth knowing

    A small retrospective questionnaire study (10 people using LSD, not psilocybin) found chronic tricyclic antidepressant or lithium use was associated with subjectively stronger physical, hallucinatory and psychological responses, while chronic MAOI use was associated with weaker responses. (Behavioural Brain Research, 1996)

  • Blood pressure and heart rateWorth knowing

    NIDA states that psilocybin typically raises blood pressure and heart rate, which may be dangerous for people with heart conditions. A 2024 meta-analysis of psychedelic trials found an increased risk of elevated heart rate and systolic and diastolic blood pressure at all dose ranges during the acute phase. (National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIH); Psychiatry Research, 2024; EMCDDA (now EUDA), via Internet Archive snapshot 2024-06-18)

  • Oregon's mandatory client screening questionsWorth knowing

    Before any Oregon administration session, the client must complete a Client Information Form with a facilitator, answering yes/no questions on lithium use, current treatment for medical or mental health conditions, mushroom allergy, medications, thoughts or history of harming self or others, active psychosis and pregnancy or breastfeeding. Current thoughts of harming self or others, lithium in the last 30 days, or a history of active psychosis rule out a session; clients who are pregnant or breastfeeding must be told the risks are unknown. (Oregon Health Authority, Public Health Division, 2026)
