Thousands sign up to experience magic mushrooms as Oregon's novel psilocybin experiment takes off
apnews.com
Oregon has taken an unprecedented step in offering psilocybin, also known as magic mushrooms, to the public.

Psilocybin tea, wind chimes and a tie-dye mattress await those coming to an office suite in Eugene to trip on magic mushrooms. For roughly six hours, adults over 21 can experience what many users describe as vivid geometric shapes, a loss of identity and a oneness with the universe.

Epic Healing Eugene — Oregon’s first licensed psilocybin service center — opened in June, marking the state’s unprecedented step in offering the mind-bending drug to the public. The center now has a waitlist of more than 3,000 names, including people with depression, PTSD or end-of-life dread.

No prescription or referral is needed, but proponents hope Oregon’s legalization will spark a revolution in mental health care.

    I have a green thumb and might be able to pull this off even if they aren’t green. I assume you need substrate and controlled humidity.

    What has always stopped me is worry that someone will knock on my door asking what I’ve done with this package of spores.

      The reason the spores are legal is for microscopy. No one’s going to ask you to talk about your microscopy hobby though.
