The text of the ballot title is as follows:

CAPTION:  Prohibits psilocybin-related businesses within the City of Cottage Grove.

QUESTION:  Shall the City of Cottage Grove prohibit psilocybin-related businesses within the City? 

SUMMARY:  State law permits persons licensed, controlled and regulated by the State to legally manufacture psilocybin products and provide psilocybin services to persons 21 years of age and older. State law authorizes the governing bodies of cities and counties to adopt ordinances to be referred to the voters that prohibit the establishment of psilocybin product manufacturers and psilocybin service center operators within the area subject to the city’s or county’s jurisdiction.  The City of Cottage Grove is referring to the voters an ordinance prohibiting psilocybin manufacturers and psilocybin service center operators within the City.    

Approval of this measure would prohibit the establishment of psilocybin product manufacturers and psilocybin service center operators within the area subject to the City of Cottage Grove’s jurisdiction.
