Oregon residents may be able to vote this November on whether to legalize psilocybin, the active compound in psychedelic mushrooms.

Sheri and Tom Eckert, two of the top petitioners behind the initiative, said during a Zoom press conference Monday that the initiative had obtained 164,782 signatures, the Oregonian reported.
