Sure, those costs can affect the prices. But in Oregon, you don't need to be a licensed doctor or nurse practitioner. Just need to pass a basic course to become certified. And if the pricing was more affordable to people that could actually benefit, then they would have a better clientele of return customers in/out their establishment that would cover their overhead.

Apologies. Yes, I was referring to Reddit. There fixed it for ya.

I see your point and very much agree. This is a great milestone! However it seems like an overinflated price for the 'experience'. For someone that can truly benefit from psychedelics, It would seem that a clinical treatment that can help someone one (ie. A person with ptsd, or trauma), could benefit from micro dosing and regular visits and experiences should have affordable access. Rather than paying such a huge amount of money for a one time 'trip' in a controlled setting. The costs seem extravagant as it doesn't seem to be for the medicinal or compassionate use. Essentially, they are selling an experience at an inflated cost to users, and not offering an actual treatment. Unless you are extremely wealthy. Which is bunk in my personal opinion.

Just $2800 for your first session? Or alternatively, you can grow your own and make a tie dye bedsheet for less than a hundred bucks. Recreational drugs in Oregon are decriminalized. It's legal to grow them yourself, just not distribute for money. Yeah, I'm going to pay a licensed caretaker to watch me trip. Not.
