Oregon voters dealt a blow to the expansion of psilocybin-assisted therapy, with 17 communities voting to block psilocybin-related businesses within their borders, Oregon Public Media reported.

The rejections come despite Oregon’s groundbreaking program that has already established 30 licensed treatment centers statewide and trained hundreds of facilitators since voters approved therapeutic psilocybin use four years ago.
