The Oregon Psychiatric Physician’s Association is disappointed that Measure 109, The Psilocybin Mushroom Services Program, has passed in the state of Oregon. We remain concerned that psilocybin is not FDA approved, clinical trials are still ongoing, and psilocybin administration would not require medical oversight for the treatment of Oregonians with mental health conditions. Now that this measure has passed, we look forward to the opportunity to work with the Oregon legislature, the Oregon Health Authority and the Psilocybin Advisory Board to make the use of psilocybin as safe as possible for Oregon residents suffering from mental health conditions. As an organization of Oregon psychiatrists working together to ensure humane care and effective treatment for all persons with mental illness, we will continue our vision to advocate for evidence based, safe and accessible quality psychiatric care for Oregonians.
