Measure 109 Model Ordinance and Ballot Measure Available
The LOC has created model ordinances and ballot measure language for cities wishing to submit an ordinance to voters to prohibit the sale of psilocybin or impose a two-year moratorium. The LOC is also sharing an introduction to psilocybin services published by the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) for local governments. Measure 109, passed by Oregon voters in 2020, legalized the medical use of psilocybin for medical purposes and required OHA to produce administrative rules regulating the safe use of the substance. The rule writing process is ongoing and is being monitored by LOC staff. Additional information will be shared as it becomes available and the LOC will endeavor to ensure cities have a complete understanding of the issue while making their decisions.
