"So many business models that are being pitched to me in Oregon are premised on the market being exclusively urban Portlanders or the psychedelic savvy," stated Arnold. "We believe that a significant part of the market will be from out of state and more culturally conservative than the traditional psychedelic consumer. Our real-time consumer research in the legal market over the last two years has shown that folks in the flyover states and in rural areas aren't typically looking for some 'new agey' encounter. They are already scared about the medicine but are also, quite frankly, afraid of Oregonians - or what they perceive to be Oregon, thinking that these services are run by crystal carrying pseudo-science hippies. That's just not universally going to be the case. This is largely a medically- and science-influenced industry as illustrated by our team at Silo Wellness, which includes leading experts in the space.

"At Silo Wellness we attempt to meet people where they are. Many of our clients come from more culturally traditional areas of the Midwest and Southeast. The New Frontier Ranch gives us many opportunities to provide services that meet their diverse backgrounds without a dogmatic approach to the medicine, including meditation areas, a hike to Mount Shasta views, yoga, and an industry leading Calvary cross Christian meditation trail. This property checks all the boxes for our retreat model: affordable lodging, Oregon nature, water access, nearby whitewater rafting, and spaces for spiritual growth to contemplate personal purpose and the 'whys and hows' of conscious awareness and existence."
