The Chacruna Institute for Psychedelic Plant Medicines, an organization founded by Brazilian anthropologist Dr. Bia Labate and American psychologist Dr. Clancy Cavnar, produces high-quality research on plant medicines and psychedelics, and helps propagate academic knowledge in more accessible formats. We educate the public and create cultural understanding and legitimacy regarding these substances so that they may cease to be stigmatized and outlawed. Chacruna also promotes a bridge between the world of plant medicines and the emergent field of psychedelic science, between “traditional ceremonial use” and clinical and therapeutic settings, bringing the knowledge and perspectives of the social sciences to health care professionals and practitioners of psychedelic-assisted therapy. Finally, we foster cultural and political reflections on the field of psychedelic science and facilitate conversations about controversial topics that have been simmering on the sidelines as psychedelics go mainstream.
From their website: Since our founding in 1986, the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) has been the leading organization building the movement to foster evidence-based approaches to psychedelics and the people who use them. When used safely and responsibly, psychedelics have the potential to promote personal growth and well-being and treat various mental health conditions. Three pillars guide our efforts to bring access to psychedelic Healing For All who can benefit: advancing research, changing policies, and shaping culture.

From their website: Oregon Health Authority Psilocybin services information located here. Psilocybin is a naturally occurring psychedelic compound found in over 200 species of mushrooms. Research suggests that psilocybin may help address depression, anxiety, trauma, and addiction. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has designated psilocybin a breakthrough therapy for the treatment of depression. Although psilocybin services are now a health and wellness option in Oregon, psilocybin is still a Schedule I substance under the federal Controlled Substances Act (CSA).
In Oregon, psilocybin services refers to preparation, administration, and integration sessions. While no prescription or referral from a medical or clinical provider is necessary, a client must be 21 years of age or older and is required to complete a preparation session with a licensed facilitator. A client may only access psilocybin at a licensed service center during an administration session in the presence of a trained, licensed facilitator. Integration sessions will be made available to each client after an administration session.

Founded in 2022 by Dr Grace Blest-Hopley, Hystelica conducts ground-breaking research, advocates for change in medical research, and delivers education on the effects of psychedelics on female biology.
As a research-oriented organization, we partner with academic institutions to run clinical and observational trials that advance women’s health and well-being.
By collecting female-specific data points, we strive to demonstrate how psychedelic substances uniquely impact the bodies of women or how female biology may be affecting their experiences with psychedelics.
