Interesting article on companies involved in psilocybin research and commercialization. It's about time hallucinogenic plants and fungi were decriminalized and openly adopted by our culture for their healing properties. For those of you who have experienced the illuminating and transformative effects of these sacred substances, you likely share the same sentiments. For those who have not, I ask you to keep an open mind on the matter. Words cannot convey the subjective nature of the experience, except to say, and this is where words fail... they change your mind about things. I've seen psilocybin mushrooms cure depression. I've seen peyote cure alcoholism... in fact one of the tenents of the Native American Peyote Church is abstinance from alcohol. They regard it as a sacred medicine,which it is by any definition.
The caveat here is that these are not recreational drugs, despite many having experienced them in a recreational setting. These are gifts from nature, like pennicillin and thousands of other naturally occuring healing compounds.
It may be that the handful of companies we see like Mind Med, who are actively bringing these substances into the legitimate medical field, are the pharmaceutical industry equivalent of the first dot com startups in the late 1990's. What dollar value might we place on a company offering a cure for depression, alcoholism, opioid dependancy, nicotine cravings etc?
