Dr. Bronner’s, known for its all-in-one soap, has made a second large donation to Oregon’s effort to legalize psilocybin.

Psilocybin Service Initiative, or Initiative Petition #34, would legalize psychedelic mushrooms in a controlled setting.

The soap company donated $150,000 to the campaign in September.

The petition is spearheaded by Sheri and Thomas Eckert, who have worked to legalize psilocybin for years.
