Jamaica Launches Organic Psilocybin Gummies & New Psychedelic Retreat: Rose Hill's New Offer

Rose Hill, a Jamaica-based cultivator, supplier and exporter of premium psilocybin products and biomass to research partners and brands is now offering its first wellness retreat program under the name ONE Retreats. 

The company has also launched its lab-tested, naturally-derived vegan (!) psilocybin gummies, PATOO, made with extract and earthed from organic psilocybin biomass and ingredients. They are available in 30+ retailers in Jamaica including dispensaries, hotels/retail stores and retreats. 

Jamaica is known to be one of the few countries worldwide that allows for cultivation and consumption of psychedelic mushrooms. It has so become one of the key places for retreat offerings and psychedelics-related businesses to embed.

Rose Hill’s operations run through three main channels: science and R&D, its legal psychedelic CPG line PATOO and new ONE Retreats.

The company prides itself on being the largest legal and natural psilocybin producer in Jamaica and reportedly the first legal exporter at a global scale. It has been cultivating and breeding different varieties of psychedelic mushrooms through sustainable and ethical cultivation practices since 2015.

Since 2018, PATOO has employed a natural harvesting process of indigenous Jamaican psilocybin fungi curated with high quality standards to ensure its integrity, consistency and efficacy. The line’s products, all psilocybin-infused, include an organic chocolate bar, a handcrafted microdose honey, and now the new vegan psilocybin gummies.

Today, besides an export contract with clinical-stage company Mydecine Innovations MYCOF ongoing since March 2021, Rose Hill is in the brink of applying for a manufacturing and services license in Oregon leveraging its team's expertise in cannabis operations and retail networks.

Rose Hill’s co-founders serve as inaugural advisors on Jamaica’s Psilocybin Mushroom Industry Technical Committee (JPMITC) under the Bureau of Standards, where they have been tasked to advise on the formalization of industry guidelines and regulations.

Co-founder and chief cultivation and production Charles Lazarus says the Rose Hill team is thrilled to launch the next iteration of the psilocybin product brand “at accessible price points.”

“We hope that a well-respected and recognized brand like PATOO will further lift the stigma associated with psychedelics and create the much needed legitimacy this industry needs,” Lazarus added.

Regarding the ONE Retreats, which launched this past June in West End Negril, Jamaica with an inaugural veterans cohort, co-founder and chief marketing and branding officer Kevin Bourke says that “generations have turned to psilocybin and other mushroom variations for their immense potential to heal, and ONE is our commitment to offer access to much-needed medicine.”
