Oregon’s psychedelic service centers are closing amid high costs and tough regulation
The slump doesn’t prove that mushrooms were a post-COVID fad. People are growing them in plastic tubs in basements and taking trips with facilitators in Airbnbs. It’s just that OHA isn’t offering what people want, says Ryan Reid, co-founder of Bendable Therapy, a nonprofit center that offers psilocybin trips in Bend.
“There is no funding that OPS is aware of that is coming from the Legislature to support the program for 2025–27, which means that OPS must evaluate the possibility of increasing licensing fees,” OHA spokeswoman Erica Heartquist said in an email.
