Lawsuit advances over psilocybin access for disabled Oregonians
The state had argued that a federal judge could not require Oregon Health Authority to allow the additional psilocybin service in special cases when people cannot travel to treatment centers because it would violate federal law, the Controlled Substances Act, and expand what state law now allows.
The providers want the state to comply with the federal Americans With Disabilities Act so their disabled clients will have the same physical access to a service — legally obtainable psilocybin — now available to nondisabled people, Kasubhai wrote. He relied on case law, citing a 1996 ruling by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in a Hawaii case.
