Oregon Makes History: Legalizing Psilocybin (Magic Mushrooms) under Measure 109
Friends,
On election day, Oregon made history by passing Measure 109 – legalizing therapeutic use of psilocybin (magic mushrooms) and creating a regulatory system to allow private businesses to provide these services. See this article. We are honored that Sam Chapman, the campaign manager for Measure 109, will join us for a webinar on November 9, 2020 at 2pm mountain time (1pm pacific/4pm eastern) to discuss what this historic victory means going forward.
We’ll discuss a general overview of the initiative, lessons from the campaign for other states, and what entrepreneurial opportunities exist going forward. McAllister Garfield partner Dan Garfield is licensed in Oregon and the Firm expects to help numerous entrepreneurs get involved with this new opportunity. Please join us by registering here.
