The Oregon Psilocybin Society (OPS) has been around since 2016 and has now gotten IP-34 on the ballot in November 2020.
Oregon Psilocybin Society
“IP 34 gives those suffering from depression, anxiety, and anyone that would benefit, a new treatment option by creating a licensed and supervised psilocybin-assisted therapy system. Pioneering studies from medical institutions such as John Hopkins, Harbor UCLA and NYU, suggest that psilocybin therapy may be a revolutionary treatment for depression, anxiety and addiction. This promising research has prompted experts in Oregon to advance IP 34 for the November ballot — IP 34 will create a licensed psilocybin therapy program so Oregonians have the best therapeutic options available.”
The society was founded by Tom and Sheri Eckert, two psychotherapists.
