Background: Ballot Measure 109 (M109), also known as the Oregon Psilocybin Services Act, was voted into law by Oregonians in November 2020. M109 directs the Oregon Health Authority to license and regulate psilocybin products and the provision of psilocybin services.
OHA is currently in a two-year development period, from Jan. 1, 2021 to Dec. 31, 2022. During this time, OHA is working to build a new Oregon Psilocybin Services (OPS) Section and working with the Oregon Psilocybin Advisory Board and Rule Advisory Committees to establish rules for the production of psilocybin and provision of psilocybin services in the state of Oregon.
