Working on getting a bibliography of sorts for psychedelic ethics/philosophy papers together - sharing in case it comes in useful for anyone else!
Ongoing project & please feel free to let me know if I've missed something 🌿

JHU PhD student Katherine Cheung and PhD Candidate Caleigh Propes, with CPCR Associate Professor Dr. David Yaden, evaluated comparison sets on the price of Oregon’s psilocybin services. As the first state in the U.S. to legalize psilocybin access and a key reference point on how other states might design psychedelic policy, this exploration helps ground discussion on Oregon’s prices in more careful analysis for future debates.

Drs. Fred Barrett and David Yaden have received a 2026 Johns Hopkins Nexus Award alongside fellow JHU scientists, educators, bioethicists, and economists. Their convening will bring together leaders across clinical, ethical, economic, and public health fields to advance critical conversations around the future of psychedelic policy. As the science matures, so must the policy conversations around it, and we are grateful to Johns Hopkins for supporting that work. hub.jhu.edu/2026/05/29/johns…

Oregon’s psilocybin services (~$3000 at the higher end) are often described as quite expensive. But when making this claim, we should ask: expensive compared to what?

There may be no “right” comparison. & psilocybin services may also strike people as expensive simply because their price puts them out of reach for many.

Overall, by trying to make some of these comparison sets explicit, we hope to ground debates about Oregon’s prices in more careful analysis rather than intuition alone.

People claim that psychedelics have been used by Indigenous groups around the world for millennia. But clear evidence of serotonergic psychedelic use – even psilocybin – has long been confined to the Americas.
Until now. In a new preprint summarizing months of fieldwork, my collaborators and I systematically show that people in Lesotho use native psilocybin mushrooms for many different purposes, and have potentially been doing so for a very long time. 🧵
