Psilocybin Testing Procedures, Protocols and the Program
Believe it or not… testing for psilocybin IS rocket Science. Rose City labs is currently the only licensed laboratory to test Psilocybin in Oregon. Since no industry standards or guidelines existed, the challenge was a slow roll and literally monumental. The journey began nearly 2 years ago with measure 109. Hundreds of hours have been dedicated to developing these processes, which humbly began with store bought button mushrooms and other fruiting body fungi foraged from the Northwest. Longtime counter-culture advocate and Lab owner Dan Huson, together with Senior Chemist Bjorn Fritzsche retell how our team of researchers, scientists and developers created reliable testing protocols, utilized industry testing standards, and the journey toward compliance with the State’s regulatory requirements. Q & A session to follow.
