Psilocybin in Oregon may help address fears of death, but… access…
John was among tens of thousands of Oregonians whose conditions may prevent them from traveling to service centers… few downsides to creating more avenues for people to access psilocybin, like allowing for use at home or in hospice centers.
…a federal lawsuit against the Oregon Health Authority, alleging the agency’s psilocybin services program violates the Americans with Disabilities Act… OHA declined to comment on the use of psilocybin and end-of-life care due to the ongoing litigation… ADA protections also apply to people with a wide range of mental and physical disabilities, including ADHD and autism, PTSD, schizophrenia and depression. Should the court rule that OPS is in violation of the ADA, people with those conditions could be eligible to request psilocybin sessions in alternate locations. That’s because federal law requires public entities to ensure that people receive “reasonable accommodations” to access services.
