How we list

What we list

Centres that offer psilocybin, and only psilocybin, in places where it is state licensed, legal or unscheduled, or, under a separate label, illegal but tolerated in practice. Every listing says which. Centres are listed only while they are verifiably operating; a closed centre, or one that has lost or surrendered its licence, comes off.

Today that is 92 centres in seven places. In Oregon and Colorado, centres come from the state licence registers. Elsewhere they come from the centres' own websites and independent sources, and some centres are left out after review, for example for shipping psilocybin to guests or for describing no screening.

Illegal but tolerated in practice

Prohibited under national law. Retreats operate openly and we found no reported prosecution of a retreat. That can change without notice, and participants and operators carry real legal risk. A place qualifies only when:

• The law is clear: the medicine is prohibited, and we cite the statute or official schedule that says so.
• Open operation is evident: several operators publicly advertise retreats there.
• A documented search of news in English and the local language, with its date, found no reported prosecution, raid or closure of a retreat for supplying the medicine.

The absence of reported cases is not proof that none exist, and tolerance is a description of what has happened, not a permission. A place moves out of this tier as soon as we find a prosecution.

Every fact has a source

Each price, licence, legal fact and record entry links to where it came from, with the date it was read. Prices are what centres publish, not what guests pay. Where a centre told us something in writing, we say so and attribute it.

Public record policy

A centre's profile lists, whoever pays us:

• A death during a programme at the centre or while a guest was in its care.
• An action taken by a government regulator against the centre that is in force or was upheld.
• A criminal charge or conviction connected with the centre's work, and a court finding against the centre.
• A credible allegation published by an established news outlet within the last three years. We remove it three years after publication unless it has led to a charge, a regulator action or a court finding.

We do not list lawsuits that were dismissed without a ruling against the centre, regulator steps that failed or were withdrawn, or deaths that happened after a guest had left the centre's care. Any centre can publish a response next to an entry on its profile.

Verified checks

Licence and registration checks we made ourselves on official registers, shown only while in date (12 months). Centres pay a flat yearly fee for them; see the disclosure.

What we have not done

We have not inspected any centre, sat in on a session, or checked a centre's claims about its staff and care on site. A listing is not an endorsement and not a safety rating.

Corrections

If something is wrong, tell us. Corrections are made at the source, appear here within about two days, and keep their date.
