- A Colorado man, Jacob Ramirez, sustained severe injuries after falling from a fourth-story hotel window during a psilocybin therapy session in May 2025.
- Ramirez was allegedly left unsupervised by his licensed professional counselor, Rachel McGuire, who had provided him with psilocybin tea and then drove away from the Spark by Hilton Hotel.
- He suffered blunt force trauma to his head and serious chest and lung injuries, resulting in two months of hospitalization and medical bills exceeding $2 million.
- Ramirez is suing Rachel McGuire, her husband Sheldon McGuire, and their two therapy companies for negligence, claiming Rachel McGuire was not licensed to provide psilocybin-assisted therapy.
- Colorado Springs police investigated the incident but did not recommend any criminal charges, while state records confirm Rachel McGuire is a licensed professional counselor but not a licensed medical clinical facilitator for psilocybin treatment.
