Colorado now has 47 licensed psilocybin healing centers

Colorado had 47 licensed psilocybin healing centers as of October 16, 2026, according to the state's Natural Medicine Division: 11 standard healing centers and 36 micro healing centers.¹ The same table lists 15 licensed cultivation facilities, 8 product manufacturers, 1 testing facility, 128 owner licenses and 206 handler licenses.¹

How fast it's grown

The division issued Colorado's first healing center license on March 31, 2025.² By early February 2026, Axios counted 9 standard and 25 micro healing centers, with 18 more applications pending. The first licensed center held its first session in June 2025 and completed just over 95 sessions that year.³

Healing center sessions remain expensive. Two of the three centers CPR News toured in early 2026 charged $3,500 for the full three-phase service.⁴ Psilocybin is still the only natural medicine allowed in healing centers.¹

New rules this year

HB26-1325, signed June 4 and in effect since August 12, 2026, bans advertising natural medicine and natural medicine products and stops paid "harm reduction" or support services from being used to sell them. It also creates a limited sales license for transactions at healing centers, gives the division director cease-and-desist power over unlicensed activity, and sets up a donation-funded ibogaine research pilot.⁵

Separate rules that took effect July 1, 2026 allow healing centers in some private residences and add a new owner license type. Renewal fees are scheduled to rise at the end of the year.⁶

Why it matters

Colorado and Oregon are the only states where adults can take psilocybin legally without a diagnosis. Colorado's growth contrasts with Oregon, where the program has lost service centers and regulators are trying to close a budget gap, as covered in our Oregon story.
