Measure 109 is spearheaded by Tom and Sheri Eckert, psychotherapists working in Portland who do individual, couples, and family counseling. They became passionate about psilocybin in 2015 and launched the Oregon Psilocybin Society as a way to craft and promote the measure, which would create a program for administering psilocybin to people over the age of 21. Clients would only be able to buy and consume psilocybin at specific facilities, under the supervision of a licensed facilitator. “Some of psilocybin and ocd them are basic mechanistic questions about how this works in the brain,” Clements says. “Some of them are really social and cultural questions about how you would integrate these compounds alongside current approaches or new approaches that we have in the area of psychotherapy, for instance. So, they pose very significant challenges for government they pose very significant challenges for clinical professionals, in terms of how to integrate some of these developments into their practice.”
