But the consequences of a bad trip are very high. So because of those consequences, the biggest op- ponent to broadspread decriminalization and legalization is the medical communi- ty saying, just like they said with canna- bis, this is going to make you crazy, make you psychotic.

Chariot’s guided psilocybin journeys are offered in serene environments, careful- ly appointed for your comfort. We engage a highly-qualified, diverse network of fa- cilitators, and provide a safe container for your journey. In each of our centers, we cultivate supportive and client-centered spaces, thoughtfully designed to feel as welcoming as home while ensuring the se- renity needed to foster deep inner exploration. Since opening our doors as one of the first legal service centers in Portland, Oregon in 2023, we’ve had the privilege of supporting well over a thousand clients on their healing and growth journeys. Every session, every conversation, and every moment of trust they’ve placed in us has helped shape who we are today, and we’re profoundly grateful. Chariot was built on a simple yet deep- ly held belief: that people deserve a safe, welcoming, and compassionate space to explore the benefits of psilocybin. Over the past couple of years, our team has refined its practices, strengthened our safety frame- works, and gained invaluable experi- ence walking alongside those we serve. We deeply value this collective learning. Chariot’s second location is now open in Boulder! We’re committed to bringing the same warmth, professionalism, and in- tegrity Chariot is known for to Colorado. JOURNEYS AT CHARIOT
