When the government gets involved...

Oregon licensed the first “psilocybin service center” on May 5, making it possible as soon as this summer to take psychedelic mushrooms in a supervised setting that complies with state laws created by Measure 109 passed in 2020. 

 *

One of the biggest criticisms of Oregon’s psilocybin program is that guided therapy sessions will be unaffordable for most people because of the costs involved. Jonas’ experience confirms that.

She charges $3,500 for a high-dose, six-hour trip, an amount she needs to break even. She charges less for shorter experiences with less psilocybin. For those, there is a group rate, too.

  1. If they want a new experience, they could try honest hard work which would open their eyes to a whole new wonderful world. But, ain't happenin'.

  2. So, what do these "acid spas" do when one of their clients flips the fuck out and kills someone, or themselves, or destroys the whole place? I'd love to see the insurance policy.

    All this as though Oregon doesn't need to tackle actual problems...

    1. Not acid, but mushrooms.
      I can't even begin to estimate how many times I've eaten mushrooms experiencing everything from a light giggly buzz to a full blown trip, and I've never even felt agitated, much less violent.

    2. At $3500 shrooms begin to make people violent.

    3. I remember wandering through the cow pastures in Del Norte county, looking for them.

  3. First world problems needing third world solutions. This is how you beat CA in the race to the bottom.

  4. Is it covered by Medicare? If so I'm on the way.

  5. Present any argument you wish, but you won't convince me of the utter disaster of legalizing and decriminalization of drugs. The woods where I live used to be very serene. Now they are littered with dozens of mafia torched vehicles and stolen materials abandoned. All since the "legalizing of marijuana" and removal of penalties for drug use and possession.

  6. Fucking lightweights get taken to the ER for smoking/eating high potency weed, too.
    This generation is doomed.

  7. $3500? Hell, all you gotta do in Oregun is find the nearest cow pasture.

  8. Just a little more evidence that the world has gone totally of the rails. The coming total sudden collapse will be epic.

  11. Coming from someone who has bad social anxiety issues, and having done mushrooms many times, I'd say it's a great fucking idea!!! Shrooms are mellow, but allow you feel like you can take on anything - socially I mean...

    Even micro dosing LSD would be very cool. Not that I love the folks, but half of Silicon Valley are doing LSD.

    If you haven't tried it, don't judge...

    Ditto and tried it so I can judge. Stupid f*ing idea.
