OREGON PSYCHEDELIC RESEARCH

Oregon is creating something
that has never existed before.

Three years ago, Oregon made history as the first state to launch a regulated psilocybin therapy program. With more than 20,000 people having moved through the program, Oregon is beginning to generate the world’s first real-world outcomes from psilocybin therapy at scale.

On August 19, researchers, healthcare professionals, policymakers and practitioners will come together to examine the breakthroughs, dig into the data and help shape what comes next.
