Oregon Psilocybin Rulemaking Update: November RAC Meetings and December Public Comment Period

Oregon's MCAP section has announced two November RAC meetings to review proposed psilocybin rule changes, with a public comment period opening December 1, 2026.

The Oregon Health Authority (OHA), through its Medical Cannabis & Psilocybin (MCAP) section, is moving forward with a new rulemaking process to consider changes to Oregon's psilocybin administrative rules.
