In 2023, Oregon launched the nation’s first state-regulated psilocybin therapy program, setting a new standard for mental health innovation. The program has helped thousands of clients find healing for conditions like treatment-resistant depression.

However, today, that program is at risk. A $3.5 million budget shortfall in the Oregon Health Authority budget threatens to double licensing fees — effectively pushing out smaller service providers and limiting equitable access to care for marginalized communities, like veterans, people of color, and low-income people.
