SHALL CITY OF CENTRAL POINT PROHIBIT PSILOCYBIN PRODUCT
MANUFACTURERS AND PSILOCYBIN SERVICE CENTER OPERATORS FROM
DOING BUSINESS WITHIN CITY LIMITS

State law allows the establishment of licensed psilocybin product manufacturers and
service center operators. State law provides that a city council may adopt an
ordinance to be referred to the voters to prohibit the establishment of any of these
licensed activities within city limits.
Approval of this measure would prohibit the establishment and operation of
psilocybin product manufacturers that hold a license issued under ORS 475A.290
and psilocybin service center operators that hold a license issued under ORS
475A.305 within the area subject to the jurisdiction of the City of Central Point.

(Council Meeting 6/9/2022)
EXHIBIT B
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
Approval of this measure would prohibit the establishment and operation of certain
psilocybin product manufacturers and service center operators licensed by the
Oregon Health Authority. Psilocybin mushrooms are wild or cultivated mushrooms
that contain psilocybin, a naturally occurring psychoactive and hallucinogenic
compound.
Measure 109, approved by Oregon voters in November 2020, provides that the
Oregon Health Authority shall license and regulate the manufacturing,
transportation, delivery, sale and purchase of psilocybin products and the provision
of psilocybin services.
Under Measure 109, cities and counties may place referendums on local ballots to
prohibit psilocybin-product manufacturers and/or psilocybin service centers within
their jurisdictions. The City Council of Central Point has adopted a resolution
referring this measure to ban such uses in Central Point city limits to the voters.
If approved, this measure would prohibit licensed psilocybin product manufacturers
and service center operators from operating within the City.
The authority to impose a tax or fee on the manufacturing or sale of psilocybin
products, or the provision of psilocybin services in Oregon is vested solely in the
Legislative Assembly. Additionally, Measure 109 prohibits a city from adopting or
enacting an ordinance imposing a tax or fee on psilocybin manufacturing or the
provision of psilocybin services. Consequently, approval of this measure should not
have any revenue impacts on the City.
