Oregon state’s Magic Mushroom Sessions

This blog is presented by certified psilocybin facilitators in Oregon, sharing the latest research findings and information about psilocybin.

As interest in psychedelic therapy grows, particularly in Oregon, where legal psilocybin sessions have been approved since 2023, there’s a heightened curiosity about this innovative psilocybin session. Starting from a grassroots movement in 2020 advocating for the therapeutic use of psilocybin mushrooms, the path to legalization in Oregon required citizen-driven initiatives and subsequent electoral approval.

Under Oregon’s regulations, certified psilocybin service centers have been established to conduct sessions facilitated by trained facilitators. The Oregon Health Authority (OHA) issues licenses for these sessions, ensuring quality control, facilitator training, and client safety. This marks a significant milestone in the accessibility of psychedelic therapy.

Psilocybin sessions involve clients ingesting psilocybin mushrooms under the supervision of facilitators to explore their inner selves and address personal challenges. Recent research in the United States and Europe has shown promising results in treating various mental health conditions, including depression, addiction, etc. In this blog, I aim to share not only the latest research findings but also insights from my own experiences as a psilocybin facilitator.

My training involved extensive coursework, practical exercises, and shadowing sessions to understand client needs and ensure their safety during the journey inward. Additionally, I’ll discuss the importance of integration – the process of applying insights gained from the session to daily life – for long-term healing.

While psychedelic therapy is still in its primary phase, it has garnered significant attention nationwide. Witnessing patients experiencing relief from depression or overcoming addiction after a single psilocybin session is profoundly moving. Through this blog, I hope to demystify psilocybin sessions and share its transformative potential.

In this space, I’ll provide updates on the latest psilocybin research, share anecdotes from my facilitation sessions, and share my personal journey to becoming a facilitator. The legalization of psilocybin therapy in Oregon opens doors to a new era of mental health treatment, and I’m excited to share more about its wonders and possibilities in the upcoming posts.
