Why You Need a Psilocybin Business Lawyer
Emerging legal landscapes are difficult to navigate, but navigating them is a must in the incredibly new regulated psilocybin industry. Very few cities or states have created legal psilocybin markets, and regulations vary widely across these states. Rudick Law Group's legal expertise and strategic guidance address the unique liability and finance challenges that arise in this regulatory environment.

End-to-End Licensing Guidance
Rudick Law Group’s clients have obtained licenses in some of the country’s most competitive markets, including New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, North Dakota, and Pennsylvania.
We offer proactive guidance at every step of the lengthy, detailed licensing process. Although we cannot guarantee any outcome, our support and partnership can greatly increase the likelihood of a successful application. Our cannabis licensing services empower you to maximize your chances of securing a license in this challenging landscape.
Expert Document and Application Preparation
Cannabis licensing and application strategy are among our core expertise areas. Understanding and meeting the requirements in each state takes hard skills and soft skills, meeting qualifications on paper while building relationships with regulators and community members. We leverage both to create stellar, high-scoring applications even in the most competitive application pools.
Long-Term Compliance and Business Support
Once you obtain your license, you must continuously comply with state and local regulations to keep it. We conduct mock audits and inspections to ensure ongoing compliance and safeguard your licensure.
We also offer support for cannabis business team development so that you can build and train a qualified staff that meets all compliance standards. Our strategic planning services account for the challenge of assembling this team before you obtain your license and begin generating revenue. Moreover, we prepare you to offer comprehensive continuing compliance training so that your staff remains current in this ever-changing regulatory environment.
Our Psilocybin Business Legal Services
Psilocybin Licensing and Compliance
The limited licensing opportunities for psilocybin are quite complex. At Rudick Law Group, our attorneys leverage their hands-on experience working in these closely controlled markets to craft compelling applications and prepare thorough documentation to ensure your business is in full compliance.
When you choose Rudick Law Group as your psilocybin business license lawyer, you also get expert support in psychedelics regulatory compliance. We know the ins and outs of every city or state that’s friendly to psilocybin, and we use that knowledge to develop compliance programs tailored to your business and your market’s requirements.
Business Structuring and Contracts
We advise clients in emerging markets, including the psilocybin industry, on business formation and structure. We draft partnership and investor agreements that deliver the best possible outcomes for business owners and funding partners, the latter of which has sometimes included the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Our tailored guidance further ensures that your corporate structure best suits your operations and financial needs. From your business’s launch through its maturity, our team supports your continued success.
Regulatory Defense and Risk Management
Section 280E of the Internal Revenue Code forbids tax credits or deductions for revenue spent or earned on business activities related to “illegally trafficking in” a Schedule I or II controlled substance such as psilocybin. With Rudick Law Group on board as your legal partner, your tax returns will comply with section 280E. We provide tailored guidance on other ways to lessen your tax liability.
We further safeguard your operations via our tailored risk management services. We identify vulnerabilities, develop thorough compliance plans to minimize penalties, and provide continuous support for your psilocybin business.

Frequently Asked Questions About Psilocybin Business Law
How Do I Get a Psilocybin Business License?
To get a psilocybin service facilitator license in Oregon, your business must meet the state’s education or training requirements and pass a mandated examination, among other requirements. There are separate rules and requirements when seeking licensure for manufacturing, testing, service center, and facilitation businesses. In Colorado, there are environmental, social, and governance criteria alongside requirements in areas such as how you establish your business and obtain patient consent. In New Mexico, the Medical Psilocybin Advisory Board is responsible, along with the Department of Health, for issuing licensing rules.
In these markets, extensive supporting documentation is required, and mountains of detailed paperwork should be expected. Understanding how to get a psilocybin business license will likely be just as complex in other states that introduce legal markets. With Rudick Law Group as your psilocybin licensing attorney, you maximize your chances of successful licensure.
What Are the Legal Risks of Starting a Psilocybin Business?
The legal risks of starting a psilocybin business include determining how friendly your state is to the psychedelics market. Psilocybin remains a Schedule I controlled substance under the Controlled Substances Act. Psilocybin’s federally illegal status is compounded by section 280E of the Internal Revenue Code, which may bar your business from taking many common tax deductions. It may also be difficult to access resources that are available to other business types. For example, some entities may struggle to obtain financial services or insurance.
Rudick Law Group boasts extensive experience advising businesses in emerging markets that are federally illegal but legal at the state level. We serve as your collaborator for all things compliance and help improve your operations to avoid regulatory penalties.
