1. (1) Group administration sessions may be conducted pursuant to the requirements of OAR 333-333-5020 and this rule.

2. (2) Client to Facilitator Ratio. The minimum facilitator to client ratio depends on the amount of psilocybin product clients participating in the group administration session will individually consume, including any secondary doses. If the clients consume different amounts of psilocybin, the largest amount consumed will dictate the required facilitator to client ratio.

   1. (a) For clients consuming less than 5 mg of psilocybin analyte, the minimum facilitator to client ratio is 1 to 25.
   2. (b) For clients consuming equal or greater than 5 mg and less than 10 mg of psilocybin analyte, the minimum facilitator to client ratio is 1 to 15.
   3. (c) For clients consuming equal or greater than 10 mg and less than 15 mg of psilocybin analyte, the minimum facilitator to client ratio is 1 to 8
   4. (d) For clients consuming equal or greater than 15 mg and less than 25 mg of psilocybin analyte, the minimum facilitator to client ratio is 1 to 6.
   5. (e) For clients consuming equal or greater than 25 mg and less than 35 mg of psilocybin analyte, the minimum facilitator to client ratio is 1 to 4
   6. (f) For clients consuming equal or greater than 35 mg and up to 50 mg of psilocybin analyte, the minimum facilitator to client ratio is 1 to 2.
3. (3) Group administration sessions may not exceed a total of 25 clients, or the service center’s maximum occupancy for the administration area where the session takes place whichever is smaller, regardless of the number of facilitators present.

4. (4) Client administration areas where group sessions take place, must provide an appropriate setting for the group sessions that:

   1. (a) Provide sufficient space for clients and facilitators to participate in the session without touching or coming into close physical contact with other clients. Client administration areas where group administration sessions will take place must contain at least twenty-five square feet of area for every person who will be present during the session.
   2. (b) Allows a facilitator to monitor clients as required by OAR 333-333-5200(4).
5. (5) Clients participating in a group administration session are prohibited from touching one another except for supportive touch as described in OAR 333-333-5120(8). If supportive touch will be used during an administrative session, each participating client must provide prior written consent as described in OAR 333-333-5000(5)(b).
6. (6) Every client participating in a group session must be provided with an opportunity to request individual support from a facilitator.
7. (7) If a client becomes disruptive during a group administration session, a facilitator must make reasonable efforts to move that client to a separate area within the administration area that mitigates disruption to the other clients in the group.
8. (8) Every client participating in a group administration session must be present at the beginning of the session.
9. (9) Unless explicitly stated in this rule, all requirements of OAR 333-333-5200 apply to group administration sessions.
