As the legality around psychedelic care in the U.S. evolves, individuals seeking healing through psychedelic and/or plant medicines are faced with a complex set of options. There are legal routes, such as clinical trials and state-regulated centers in Oregon and Colorado, alongside alternative paths like international and domestic retreats and self-sourcing models.

Evaluating your options and determining your readiness for psychedelic-assisted therapy is essential. Additionally, understanding the industry’s changing landscape helps you know when it’s safe to move from research to active participation.
