Epic Healing Eugene, the first licensed psilocybin service center in the United States, opened its doors in June. This groundbreaking facility in Eugene, Oregon, provides adults over 21 with the opportunity to experience the effects of psilocybin mushrooms, often described as producing vivid geometric shapes, a loss of identity, and a sense of unity with the universe, for approximately six hours.
Notably, Epic Healing Eugene has amassed a waitlist of over 3,000 individuals, including those dealing with conditions like depression, PTSD, or end-of-life anxiety.
The center’s services are accessible without the need for a prescription or referral, and advocates are hopeful that Oregon’s move to legalize psilocybin will usher in a transformation in mental health treatment.
