Never said I was a scientist or have the credentials to work for the FDA. However, I know what we hold here.

What are you implying?
You are referring to LYCOS... furthermore, the MDMA that MindMed is using is a stereo isomer and also not with therapy but only as a drug.
To add to this their phase 3 dual track study has started for LSD with a patented ODT tablet again really without integrated therapy only for at use support.
The failure of lycos was wide and they didn't do their job right.
Good times ahead.

Man... 1.00 is the big board minimum... grab them shares while you can. Exciting times ahead. Hype train going to start.
After the Lykos debacle, what’s next for psychedelic therapies?
While Lykos Therapeutics’ MDMA therapy was rejected by the FDA, psychedelic therapy advocates remain optimistic about the sector.

Market opinion
Lykos is not alone in MDMA research, as several other companies continue to push their candidates towards approval. New York-based MindMed is developing its MDMA therapy MM-402 for treating autism spectrum disorder.
Dr. Dan Karlin, CMO at MindMed, views concerns raised by the FDA committee as “Lykos-specific issues, study conduct-specific issues.” He believes MindMed’s methodology will side-step the patient and rater-blinding problems central to Lykos’ NDA rejection. Though Lykos had to demonstrate a drug effect while part of a multi part treatment, others may not use the same approach. “Rather than doing psychedelic-assisted therapy, this [MM-402] is drug treatment only,” says Karlin.
Additionally, incorporating dose response analysis, expectancy assessment, blinded central raters, and excluding participants with prior psychedelic use are among measures that can shield MindMed from the failings of Lykos, says Karlin. “It will be important, whether it’s Lykos or some other company, and whether it’s MDMA or some other substance, for some other psychiatric indication, to really maintain a strong, explicit neutrality in regards to the potential for the treatment to work,” says Henner.
Nonetheless, Karlin remains confident in getting psychedelics approved and, cited growing interest in psychedelics among groups supporting veterans with PTSD as a route to bipartisan political acceptance of these therapies.
I am likely not going to respond to your short sighted shenanigans after this. LSD is not even close to comparison with pot. Like not even in the same space at all.
You obviously have no scientific background nor have you read the read outs from UHB about the LSD study in Switzerland.
You can choose not to invest but if you think you are going to convince me to give up my shares. Thanks for trying to save me. I'm good Gio. Good luck with your investments and suggestions for those to not invest here.
You want to really try to help people... go find the fake companies in the space and convince those investors to pull out.
We're going to NASDAQ in the next 365! Hang tight!
Uplist will happen.

You as well
Glad you posted that news because I missed it. Glad I'm in now.
"What's the frequency, Kenneth?" is your Benzedrine, uh-huh
Waking up.
Wow! That's a lot of cash for them. This is actually a good sign not many OTC can raise that type of capital. Very nice!
I agree with this statement, but still know what I hold.
FDA doesn't make the drugs...
LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide) manufacturing is not easy. It requires advanced chemistry knowledge and access to specific precursor chemicals, including lysergic acid, which can be difficult to source due to its tight regulation. The process itself involves multiple synthesis steps, and small mistakes can result in ineffective or dangerous products.
It is easier to make heroin or cocaine... LSD is a clandestine product. Not a jungle cask compound.
lol the cartels will do it if it were illegal... so let's not go down that road.
Good LSD is not easy to make. How do I know. My father was a lead toxicologist. Why am I invested in this space, for the same reason.
I know what I hold. Guess who has also work with the FDA. I didn't get guidance on the amount I invest. I got advice about the course of events that will naturally unfold over the next couple years. I'm good Giovanni.
That's my primary reason for investment. It's not a commodity product. DEA watches precursors... and an IP moat helps with something as simple as delivery technique...
This means it will not get easily wrapped up in the shrooms hype and getting it quasi legal.
We are in for something interesting.
Well... for one... there's always a chance (which I'm willing to bet on)... second they can commercialize anywhere on the planet. It doesn't have to be in this soil first. Either way. I'm bullish.
To each his own

Have you looked at the credentials of their team compared to all other psychedelic plays? If I'm making a bet it's on MindMed
Several potential signals with the recent Employee Inducement Grants for MindMed
I want to go over three areas. 1; what is the outlook for Employee Inducement Grants in general with respect to biotech companies, 2; the synergies between the idea of this type of benefits package to top talent and MindMed itself, 3; the concern of dilution based on the press release.
PR: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20240909361119/en/MindMed-Announces-New-Employee-Inducement-Grants
The announcement of Employee Inducement Grants in a biotech firm, especially one moving into a critical Phase 3 trial, could convey several potential signals to investors and shareholders:
Talent Acquisition: Inducement grants are often used to attract top-tier talent, especially in critical phases like Phase 3 trials. This could signal the company's commitment to strengthening its workforce with experts who can ensure the trial's success and, potentially, future commercialization.
Confidence in the Pipeline: Offering inducement grants may indicate management's confidence in their clinical program. They may believe the company's prospects are bright enough to make stock options and grants a valuable incentive, suggesting that they see positive outcomes on the horizon.
Retention and Long-Term Incentive: Inducement grants can also be designed to retain key talent through the late-stage clinical development process, which can be intense and high-stakes. This could mean the company expects critical developments and wants to ensure the team stays on board through potential milestones.
Dilution Concerns: On the other hand, depending on the size of the grants, shareholders might be concerned about stock dilution. Inducement grants increase the number of outstanding shares, which can impact stock value in the short term.
In the near term, this move could reflect the company’s strategic positioning for upcoming pivotal events like trial results or partnerships. For shareholders, it is likely a positive sign that management is confident and proactive.
Knowing that we're invested in MindMed, here are some specific insights in light of their recent announcement of Employee Inducement Grants and the FDA breakthrough status:
Key Focus on Psychedelic Medicine: MindMed is working on MM-120 (LSD), which is being investigated for anxiety disorders, particularly Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD). Their status as a pioneer in psychedelic-based therapies for mental health conditions puts them in a promising but highly speculative sector.
FDA Breakthrough Designation: This status indicates that MM-120 is addressing unmet needs in treatment-resistant conditions. If this candidate is in or near Phase 3, positive trial results could lead to faster market approval. The inducement grants may be part of scaling up for potential commercialization.
Recruiting Experts in Regulatory and Clinical Development: Moving through Phase 3 trials and potentially to market will require MindMed to hire specialists in clinical operations, regulatory affairs, and commercial strategy. The inducement grants might be aimed at hiring or retaining personnel who can manage the complexities of regulatory submissions and partnerships with larger pharmaceutical companies.
Market Sentiment: The psychedelic sector, including MindMed, tends to experience high volatility due to both regulatory uncertainty and the early-stage nature of most companies in the space. Inducement grants may reassure shareholders that the company is well-staffed for future success, though it could also trigger short-term stock price fluctuation due to potential dilution concerns.
The inducement grants is a positive indication of MindMed’s growth ambitions as they push their promising therapies forward.
Based on the details of MindMed's inducement grants:
The issuance of inducement grants to three newly hired non-executive employees consisting of options to purchase an aggregate of 70,000 common shares of the Company (the "Options"), with an effective grant date of September 9, 2024. The Options have an exercise price equal to the closing price of MindMed’s common shares on September 6, 2024, the last trading day on which MindMed’s common shares traded prior to the date of the grant, and will vest over a four-year period with 25% vesting on October 1, 2025 and the remaining 75% vesting in substantially equal monthly increments over the three-year period thereafter, subject to each employee’s continued employment.
Here’s an analysis of the potential impact on shareholders and whether there’s cause for concern regarding short-term dilution:
Size of the Grant: The issuance is for 70,000 common shares, which is a relatively small number compared to the total number of outstanding shares for MindMed, This means the dilution from these options is minimal and unlikely to have a significant short-term impact on the stock price.
Vesting Schedule: The options vest over a four-year period, with 25% vesting in October 2025 and the remainder vesting incrementally over three years. This slow vesting means that the full dilution won’t occur immediately. The gradual vesting ensures that the dilution is spread out over time, rather than all at once, reducing any immediate impact on shareholders.
Exercise Price: The options are priced at the closing price on September 6, 2024, meaning employees will only benefit if the stock price rises above that level. If the stock price remains flat or declines, these options might not be exercised, and dilution would be avoided.
Summary:
Given the relatively small number of shares involved, the slow vesting schedule, and the fact that the options are only valuable if the stock price appreciates, the potential for short-term dilution is low. From a shareholder’s perspective, there’s little cause for concern about immediate dilution from these grants.
That is 23,333 shares per hire (average)... considering these are top executives that want to get something accomplished. Event at a conservative target of 25.00 a share (which is very low in my opinion), each employee stands to make approx 500k on the shares alone if the price averaged 25.00 over the course of a 4 year period.
Good times are ahead. This is a good thing for MindMed. They want top talent and they want to get to commercialization. I trust they will.
It has a lot of potential. Shame really. They post a lot on LinkedIn.
So they hate their employees too?

The FDA gave draft guidance about psychedelic trials and studies and provided break through designation to MM120. I understand you point, but why would you not take this bet? Christ. Elon Musk made an EV company and everyone bet on against the oil lobbyist. So give me a break for having a case against the gamble.
I know why I'm here. To support a company I believe in and to also hedge against the fact I can possibly make some good coin on the second hype.
Already made a nice amount on the first run up. So go bother someone else.
lol! Schedule 1 is not correct and the studies show this is true especially of LSD.

This could get delisted and not give a shit
No problem. I see them getting bought out late phase 3 or shortly there after. Good times.
The hell are you talking about. Ketamine (soravato) is an already approved drug, I'm not worried about MindMed. Quite content with my holdings.

I am absolutely suggesting that there are folks in the know. They understand their network and who is connected to whom and what their assets and skills are worth.

When this was purchased how much did the shareholders get?
lol. You need 75x to break even from how long you've been claiming this would go up from years past. Lol
