In 2020, Oregon was the first state in the U.S. to effectively legalize psilocybin, the hallucinogenic component of magic mushrooms, for therapeutic use.

It has shown to be effective in treating post-traumatic stress disorder, depression and end-of-life anxiety.

Since then, regulations and restrictions for psilocybin treatment have taken shape across the state with many rural counties opting out of providing any psilocybin-related services at all.
