Researchers believe psilocybin changes the way the brain organizes itself, helping a user adopt new attitudes and overcome mental health issues.

The clients can't buy mushrooms to go, and they must stay at the service center until the drug wears off. While Epic Healing Eugene has a long waitlist thanks in part to early media attention, other service centers say business is picking up as awareness spreads.

A client can wind up paying over $2,000, which helps cover service center expenses, a facilitator and lab-tested psilocybin. Annual licenses for service centers and growers cost $10,000, with a half-price discount for veterans.
State regulations allow doses of up to 50 milligrams, but when Jonas tested a 35-milligram sample of pure psilocybin - typically equal to about 6 grams of dried mushrooms - she found it so powerful that she decided it would be the most her facility would offer. He said the session"was not particularly pleasant," but that it beneficially transformed how he views painful memories and provided a sought-after mystical experience.
