Psilocybin services marketing rules in Oregon

Every Oregon scan also runs the always-on federal layer: FTC deceptive health claims and endorsements, TCPA consent and revocation in calls and texts. A ruleset counts toward a clean pass only while it is published, matches its content hash, and its review clock is fresh, which is why the date above is load-bearing.

The claim types Oregon law puts off-limits in treatment marketing. Each is compiled from the cited section; the scanner reads your copy for them, and the patterns stay on the server.

• High riskDo not claim psilocybin products or services cure, treat, heal, or have curative or therapeutic effects for any condition, or that effects are clinically proven.

  OAR 333-333-6100(1)(e) bars curative or therapeutic claims and other health claims not supported by the totality of publicly available scientific evidence with significant scientific agreement; 333-333-6040(2)(c) bars the same as dishonest conduct. The scanner cannot verify substantiation, so all hits route to review; the pattern intentionally skips the bare words therapy and healing to limit false positives.

  OAR 333-333-6100(1)(e); OAR 333-333-6040(2)(c)

• High riskDo not present the service as a medical treatment, a prescription program, or medical psilocybin. Oregon Psilocybin Services is a non-medical, facilitated program.

  Medical or prescription framing of a non-medical facilitated service is deceptive/misleading (OAR 333-333-6100(1)(a)) and implies unsupported therapeutic effect (6100(1)(e)). The pattern is built so negated statements such as 'psilocybin services are not a medical treatment' do not match, but the reviewer should sanity-check hits for negation context.

  OAR 333-333-6100(1)(a), (1)(e)

• High riskDo not assert psilocybin products are safe because they are regulated by the Authority or because they were tested by a certified laboratory.

  Verbatim prohibition: advertising may not assert that psilocybin products are safe because they are regulated by the Authority or have been tested by a certified laboratory (OAR 333-333-6100(1)(d)). Stating that products ARE tested is allowed; deriving a safety claim from it is not.

  OAR 333-333-6100(1)(d)

• FlagDo not claim any government agency endorses or supports psilocybin.

  OAR 333-333-6100(1)(d) bars claims that any government agency endorses or supports psilocybin. Factual statements of licensure (state-licensed service center) are legal and expected; factual approvals (an OHA-approved training curriculum) can hit this pattern, so hits route to review rather than auto-block.

  OAR 333-333-6100(1)(d)

• FlagDo not use content that can reasonably be considered to target individuals under 21, including cartoons, toys, candy references, or items typically marketed to minors.

  OAR 333-333-6100(1)(b) bars content targeting under-21 individuals, including images of minors, cartoons, toys, and products commonly associated with minors. Largely a visual rule; text detection is partial and imagery must be reviewed by a human. Candy/gummy references are flagged as minor-associated product framing.

  OAR 333-333-6100(1)(b)

• FlagDo not market retail-style sales: shipped, mail-order, take-home, to-go, online-purchase, or at-home microdosing offers. Psilocybin may only be consumed at a licensed service center during an administration session.

  Advertising may not encourage activity that is illegal under state law (OAR 333-333-6100(1)(c)). ORS chapter 475A permits consumption only at a licensed service center during an administration session; take-home, shipped, or online-retail psilocybin offers describe illegal conduct.

  OAR 333-333-6100(1)(c); ORS 475A.210 to 475A.722 (program structure)

• FlagDo not advertise free or discounted psilocybin product. Service centers may not discount a psilocybin product or offer one for free.

  OAR 333-333-4480(5)(a): a service center may not discount a psilocybin product or offer a psilocybin product for free; advertising such an offer promotes unlawful conduct (6100(1)(c)). Scoped to PRODUCT offers: session-fee discounts and sliding-scale pricing are not prohibited and should not be flagged. The pattern guards against hyphenated compounds like pesticide-free.

  OAR 333-333-4480(5)(a); OAR 333-333-6100(1)(c)

The exposure Oregon attaches to a marketing violation, by tier. Exact amounts and elements live in the cited statute.

• CivilCivil penalties per violation and deceptive-practices exposure. Amounts are in the cited section.

What the scanner does with two versions of the same idea. The flagged line is rendered the way Pre-Trip renders a finding; the clean line is a pass.
