“Psychedelic Therapy in Oregon: The Flaws & Limitations of Measure 109” covers a candid discussion on the impact of Oregon’s incautious Psilocybin Services Program Initiative, specifically for those seeking psychedelic therapy outside of a regulatory framework. 

After offering a brief overview and timeline of the initiative, our hosts analyze the lack of standardization in the training and credentialing of facilitators. How do the implications of the facilitator training program negate the intentions set in place for indigenous and ceremonial practice?

They highlight the differences in training providers, the cost of training programs, and the inadequate levels of stringency surrounding psychological assessments for those wishing to become a licensed facilitator. 

Later, our hosts evaluate public perceptions on the availability and practicality of psychedelic experiences in Oregon. They detail the risks associated with improper training and credentialing of facilitators while bringing forward suggestions for those seeking psychedelic support services in the state.
