The business, operating on
Ballot Measure 109, which allowed for the administration of psilocybin, but did not authorize it in a retail setting like Shroom House.[2] Customers were required to fill out an application to the "Shroom House Society" when purchasing items.[8]
On December 8, 2022, the Portland Police Bureau raided Shroom House and seized "a large amount of suspected psilocybin products" and $13,000 in cash. Four arrests were made on felony charges.[8][9][10][11] The shop's owner pleaded not guilty to 40 felony charges.[12]
