Oregon issues state’s first psilocybin business license March 22, 2023 - KOIN
PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Oregon Psilocybin Services, a branch of the Oregon Health Authority, announced on Wednesday that it issued the state’s first psilocybin license.
The completed psilocybin business application comes more than two years after voters made Oregon the first state in the union to legalize the therapeutic use of psilocybin — a psychedelic drug naturally found in mushrooms.
The psilocybin manufacturing license was approved for the Portland-based company Satori Farms PDX LLC, owned by Tori Armbrust.
“As the nation celebrates Women’s History Month, this woman-owned business will bring communities one step closer towards accessing psilocybin services in Oregon,” the OHA said in its announcement.
The state began accepting applications for manufacturing, service center, laboratory and facilitatory psilocybin therapy licenses in January. Since that time, OHA has received more than 220 applications for business licenses and workers’ permits.
Oregon Psilocybin Services Section Manager Angie Allbee congratulated Armbrust for being Oregon’s first legal psilocybin manufacturer. Eleven other companies have filed for psilocybin manufacturing licenses in Oregon but have not completed the application process.
“We congratulate Tori Armbrust of Satori Farms PDX LLC for being issued the first psilocybin license in Oregon’s history and for representing women leading the way for the emerging psilocybin ecosystem,” Allbee said. “We are committed to fostering an inclusive partnership with our regulated community to ensure safe, effective and equitable psilocybin services throughout the state.”
OPS said that it expects to issue additional licenses to laboratories, service centers and facilitators within the coming months. So far, five companies have filed for service center licenses, one company has filed for a laboratory license, and none have applied for facilitator’s licenses.
Nearly 50 workers have been permitted to serve as employees in the industry, with another 94 applicants awaiting approval.

Does this count as the nations/worlds first legal psilocybin manufacturer too?

Nations first, yes technically. Worlds first, no.
The Oregon plan is very restrictive as to who can get psilocybin and under what circumstances and will be very expensive. The Colorado program is much better for the average person because they can grow their own for their own use now, but not manufacture for sale. The 'healing center' aspect for CO will also is much better than the OR plan, but yes OR will be first.
As far as the world, I recall a plant in Canada manufacturing psilocybin mushrooms and also a facility in Jamaica doing the same. I'm thinking of the two, Jamaica was first. There could be more.

The first of many I would hope.
The Colorado approach appears more accessible to the people but I remain hopeful that Oregon will loosen restrictions and increase access after gaining some real experience.
Prohibition is always destined to fail. Guidelines are far better than restrictions, though reasonable controls are probably necessary during the transition toward a much saner future.

I wonder how much one could potentially get paid for a job in the sector, seems like it has a lot of room for growth given that we've been in a psychedelic renaissance.
