The shroom centers have been given the OK by Oregon's Ballot Measure 109, which passed in November 2020.

This follows on from Oregon decriminalising drugs last year.

The use of drugs like ketamine and LSD for therapy continues to become more mainstream – the UK's first ketamine clinic recently opened in Bristol.
