‘I don’t think the industry can survive this’: Oregon regulators propose steep psilocybin fee hikes

Oregon regulators are planning significant fee increases for the psilocybin industry, which could make the cost of legally accessing psychedelic mushrooms even more prohibitive and lead to more business closures. The proposed hikes by the Oregon Health Authority could severely impact an industry that's still finding its feet, raising concerns about its sustainability. This move could also affect the broader conversation around mental health treatments and the use of psilocybin, as higher fees might limit accessibility and research opportunities.
