Governor appoints board to oversee Oregon’s new psychedelic mushroom program OregonLive.com 3/16/2021 Lizzy Acker, oregonlive.com
Oregon’s first-in-the-nation program to allow regulated, therapeutic use of psilocybin got underway Tuesday when Gov. Kate Brown announced the members of the Oregon Psilocybin Advisory Board.
The board will create the framework for the program outlined in Measure 109, which Oregon voters approved in November.
The board includes doctors, researchers, therapists and fungi experts, among others, according to a press release.
“Like many, I was initially skeptical when I first heard of Measure 109,” said Brown in the release. “But if we can help people suffering from PTSD, depression, trauma and addiction including veterans, cancer patients, and others supervised psilocybin therapy is a treatment worthy of further consideration.”
