Oregon Psychedelics Disputes and Litigation
With the medicinal and therapeutic use of psilocybin now legal in licensed service centers across Oregon, many investors, entrepreneurs, and medical practitioners have already exploited the business opportunities that have presented themselves over the past few years.
Inevitably, this has also led to disputes as businesses jostle for position and the industry starts to grow.
If a psychedelic business is involved in a dispute or litigation, it can be challenging to find the necessary legal expertise in a sector where the laws on business formation, licensing, and compliance can be confusing.

The lawyers at Cannabis Law Solutions are ready to vigorously defend your interests either in or out of the courtroom. We have extensive experience in litigation, mediation, arbitration and handling administrative disputes in controversial and sensitive industries.
Experienced psychedelics litigation lawyers in Oregon
The medicinal use of psilocybin has been legal in Oregon since 2020 but, with the industry in such infancy, misunderstandings, confusion, and disputes are relatively common as state and local laws bed down.
Under federal law, psilocybin remains a Schedule 1 substance, adding to the challenges with legal matters.
Businesses in the sector are just becoming established and the last thing that business owners want is to have to contend with the expense and delays involved with litigation.
If you’re involved in a psychedelics dispute or litigation with a competing business, partner or supplier, the experience of our attorneys in helping other businesses resolve sensitive matters in cannabis law disputes can limit the negative impact on your business.
Researchers, entrepreneurs, investors, clinicians, and manufacturers can rely on our informed, trusted, and reliable legal advice to resolve disputes.
If you are the subject of a government investigation or licensing issue with the Oregon Health Authority, our seasoned legal advice can also help you decide how to proceed.
Psychedelics litigation and dispute services
Cannabis Law Solutions offers a range of litigation, mediation and arbitration services for disputes within the psychedelics industry in Oregon. These include the following…
Founder and partnership disputes
Disagreements can occur in any business but when the business sector is as new as psychedelics, misunderstandings and confusion among founders, partners, and shareholders are even more common.
Disputes may center around issues such as:
- The removal of a partner
- Recovery of assets after a buyout
- Dissolution of a failed partnership
- Rescinding a partnership agreement
These disputes can be costly for a new business and few stakeholders want the adverse consequences to extend any further than necessary. Litigation is a last resort. Quick, amicable resolutions are generally preferable and these can be facilitated with the aid of seasoned legal guidance.
Our attorneys can provide a range of alternative dispute resolution methods, such as mediation and arbitration services.
Traditional business disputes
The laws and regulations are still bedding down in the emerging psychedelics sector in Oregon, making standard business disputes and misunderstandings quite common.
Because of the relatively recent formulation of many of the laws, legal precedents are few and far between. Disputes may have an added layer of complexity requiring assistance from lawyers with knowledge of and insight into the psychedelics sector.
The attorneys at Cannabis Law Solutions can assist with the following types of internal disputes and disagreements with customers, suppliers or competitors:
- IP and trade secret disputes
- Employment disputes
- Breach of trademark disputes
- Breach of contract disputes
- Unfair competition
- Breach of fiduciary duty
- Rescission of an agreement
- Fraud
- Real property and lease disputes
- Land use and entitlement disputes
Investor protection and recovery
Our attorneys can also help investors protect the often-substantial investments they make and minimize the risks involved with entering the psychedelics industry in Oregon.
Not all new psychedelics businesses in Oregon will make it. Some will inevitably fail. We have the knowledge and experience to help investors protect against mismanagement or misconduct in the businesses they invest in.
Recovery of a lost investment may require negotiation, mediation, arbitration or litigation but either way, it’s likely to be more effective with seasoned legal representation.
