Sheri Eckert, one of the chief petitioners of Oregon’s successful ballot measure to legalize psilocybin, died Thursday in her sleep according to her family. She was 59 years old.
Eckert, a counselor living in Portland, was chief petitioner of Measure 109 with her husband Thomas Eckert. The two had worked for years to create a legal path to the regulated use of psychedelic mushrooms in a therapeutic setting.
The Eckerts believed that therapeutic psilocybin could help people struggling with depression, anxiety and addiction. Together, they founded the Oregon Psilocybin Society.
