Can Psychedelics Treat Alcoholism? New Psilocybin & DMT Studies Say YES

Wakeful Travel Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/920110985/wakeful-travel-journals-support-your-transformation?ref=f1y202

In today’s episode, we dive into two pre-clinical studies testing psychedelics’ effectiveness in treating alcohol-related illnesses.

In the first, researchers tested psilocybin (magic mushrooms) on mice who got addicted to alcohol. They found that the psilocybin helped repair a part of their brain that alcohol abuse damaged. This helped the mice make less neurotic decisions, and helped them abstain from alcohol.

This is promising, and if it can be repeated in humans, it would be a huge step forward in treating alcoholism.

The second study looked at the Ayahuasca brew, which has as its main psychoactive ingredient DMT. In this study, the researchers found that the mice who took the ayahuasca were less likely to seek out more alcohol.

Again, if this can be replicated in humans, it would show the powerful benefits of psychedelic medicines to treat alcoholism.

Psychedelics and mental health have long been a topic of research, and we are finally getting data that psychedelics like psilocybin and DMT may be effective in treating a variety of mental health conditions, such as alcoholism.

In this episode, James, The Psychedelic Investor, sits down with Doug Drysdale, CEO of Cybin (NYSE: CYBN) for the Psychedelic Spotlight podcast.

In the interview, the two discuss Cybin’s psychedelic medicines portfolio, and where the psychedelic industry is going in the next few years. Can psychedelics heal mental health?

The main topic was attempting to answer the question: can psilocybin heal mental health conditions like depression?

Doug Drysdale spoke on the positive results we have seen in psilocybin for depression clinical trials, such as the Compass Pathways’ psilocybin (comp 360) for treatment-resistant depression phase 2b trial. Despite the apparent benefits of psilocybin, though, Doug Drysdale and Cybin argued that there were 3 core problems with using psilocybin in a therapy setting: the long duration of effect; the onset action period; and the variability of effect.

Cybin has developed a new version of psilocybin, called CYB-003. CYB-003 has a shorter duration, reaches peak effect quicker, and has less variability in effect between individuals. Plus, it keeps all of the therapeutic benefits of psilocybin and its subjective effects.

It is important to note that Cybin’s Cyb-003, their next-generation psilocybin, has only been tested in animals up until this point. They intend to start human clinical trials next year.

James and Doug of Cybin also discussed the other Cybin projects, such as CYB-004, and their development strategy. They also discussed government policy, and whether the psychedelics sector has reaches escape velocity.

In all, this psychedelic medicines conversation was fascinating and showed Cybin’s dedication towards improving mental health conditions, which are abysmal in the United States right now.

Does Jon Stewart Microdosing Magic Mushrooms?

Have you ever wanted to try microdosing magic mushrooms before, because Jon Stewart wants to! On a recent podcast episode of The Problem with Jon Stewart, the political comedian opened his show by saying “I’ve been microdosing the whole week!”, before clarifying that he just WANTS to try psychedelic microdosing.

The satirist, sometimes known as America’s Conscience, is one of the most influential voices in media over the last 3 decades. His short and funny forrow into the psychedelics debate should help further propel the issue into the mainstream.

Can microdosing help depression? Can Microdosing help mental health? Jon Stewart thinks so, though this claim needs to be verified by the medical establishment.

Microdosing has become a popular trend for professionals in the last few decades, so it is not surprising that Jon Stewart knows about it. He is a man with his finger on America’s pulse.

In today’s episode, we look at MindMed’s (Nasdaq: MNMD, NEO: MMED) Project Flow, which is their LSD microdosing division. At present, MindMed’s microdosing program is split into 2 projects: base testing of LSD microdoses in healthy individuals, and using LSD microdoses to treat adult ADHD.

We will explore the progress made on both fronts, and where the program will expand to in the future, such as psilocybin (magic mushrooms) microdosing.
Ultimately, MindMed wants to answer questions such as:

Can microdosing psychedelics treat ADHD?
Can microdosing LSD improve your concentration?
Can microdosing decrease your anxiety?
Does microdosing increase creativity?
Does microdosing improve your mood?

Recently MindMed announced they are ready to begin recruiting for a study testing the variations in effect when taking LSD microdoses in the morning, compared to at night. The study will also try to answer the last four above questions. We discuss this study extensively.

#Mindmed #MNMDstock #Microdosing

In today’s episode, we discuss the results of the much awaited phase 2b clinical trial using psilocybin (comp360) to treat treatment-resistant-depression. This Compass Pathways (Nasdaq: CMPS) trial is so important for a couple of reasons: first, it is the largest ever psychedelics clinical trial, with 219 people completing the trial; and second because it is the furthest progressed psilocybin trial ever, being in phase 2b.

So what did the results say? Can Magic Mushrooms treat depression? Can Psychedelics help Mental Health?

Well, the results are mixed. About a quarter of the people who underwent Compass Pathways psychedelic therapy program, who received 25 mg of psilocybin (Comp 360), entered remission after 12 weeks. And almost a third of individuals in this group saw their depression symptoms decrease by 50% or more, as measured by the MADRS scale. This is more than double the success rate for the control group, showing strong significant effects of psilocybin therapy on depression. Therefore, it is clear that psychedelics like psilocybin CAN help mental health… at least somewhat
However, many, myself included, were hoping for stronger results, such as the MDMA to treat PTSD phase 3 results that MAPS released earlier this year. This led to disappointment at the positive results, as they were not as game changing as we had hoped.
In this episode, we describe Compass Pathways’ psilocybin for depression clinical trial, explain the results, and then try to put said results into context. We finish by looking towards the future, and discussing where Compass Pathways, and other psychedelic medicines companies like MindMed, Cybin and Small Pharma, should go from here.

Analyzing the Quarter 3 financial results of atai Life Sciences (Nasdaq: ATAI), Compass Pathways (Nasdaq: CMPS), MindMed (Nasdaq: MNMD) and Cybin (NYSE: CYBN).

It’s earning season! In this episode we compare and contrast the financials of the four biggest companies in the psychedelic medicines space, atai, Compass Pathways, MindMed and CYBIN. All four released their Q3 financials in the past week. All four are the biggest psychedelic stocks
We also look at some of the highlights of the past quarter for each company, and do some rough back of the napkin math to determine when they will need to raise more capital.

Atai Life Sciences (atai stock) is the best financed company, and had a very eventful quarter. They started clinical trials studying r-ketamine, ibogaine, a schizophrenia drug and more.
Compass Pathways (CMPS stock), the next best financed psychedelics company, released the results of their long awaited Comp 360 phase 2b clinical trial, testing treating Treatment-Resistant Depression with psilocybin. They also announced a new trial using comp 360 to treat PTSD, hired the famous Hamilton Morris, and acquired an IP portfolio of novel medicines.

MindMed (MNMD Stock) had a quieter quarter, though it was still impressive. Despite having over a hundred million dollars in the bank, since they are spending so much on their million projects, they will likely have to raise capital through dilution within a year. Their work with LSD, 18-MC Psilocybin and more continues in the background, but this quarter was all about hiring talent.

Cybin (CYBN stock) is in a bigger cash crunch, only having enough capital for roughly a year. This means they will almost certainly be raising capital soon. Despite this, they had a great quarter and announced that their lead drug candidate CYB-003, a modified version of psilocybin, shows great promise in animal models.

Compass Pathways is launching a NEW Phase II clinical trial to treat PTSD!!!
The trial will use Comp 360, the company’s synthetic, proprietary version of psilocybin, in conjunction with therapy. This is Compass’ second major trial using Comp 360. They also are using it to treat Treatment Resistant Depression.

On October 3rd, 2021, Compass Pathways (Nasdaq: CMPS) announced the launch of a brand new psychedelic therapy clinical trial, using Psilocybin, the active ingredient in magic mushrooms, to treat PTSD.
The Phase 2 clinical trial will use Comp 360, Compass Pathways’ proprietary, synthetic, cristalline Psilocybin. It will be paired with talk psychotherapy in 20 adults who suffered trauma as an adult, resulting in PTSD.
While using psychedelics for mental health may seem controversial, when it comes to the science, psychedelics like psilocybin and MDMA, when paired with therapy have been shown to work.
For example, recently MAPS completed a Phase III clinical trial using MDMA therapy to treat PTSD, which showed 67% of people improving so much they no longer qualified to be diagnosed as having PTSD (cured?). Another 21% of people improved significantly.

This Compass Pathways trial is exciting, because once it is complete, we will be able to compare the results of their psilocybin trial to MAPS’ MDMA trial, to start to have an understanding of which psychedelic compound works better for treating PTSD.
This news comes as we are waiting for the results of Compass Pathways’ Phase 2b Clinical Trial, testing treating Treatment-Resistant Depression with Comp 360, to be released before the end of the year.
The results of the trial will be significant, as it will be the largest ever clinical trial studying psychedelics, with 216 patients. It will also be the most advanced clinical trial studying psilocybin, being in phase 2b.
In sum, these are very exciting times to be watching Compass Pathways. Controversies surrounding their patents aside, Compass is one of the companies pushing the frontiers of psychedelic medicines, which is very exciting to watch.

Do you think psilocybin assisted therapy could treat PTSD? Let us know in the comments.

#CompassPathways #Psilocybin #Psychedelics

In this episode, we’re covering what is microdosing and its purported benefits. You will learn how to microdose magic mushrooms. How to microdose psychedelics.

Microdosing is the practice of taking a small dose of a drug, in our case psilocybin, the main active ingredient in magic mushrooms. The dose is small enough that it won’t cause any perceptual changes, meaning you won’t have any hallucinations or even feel high.
This will allow you to continue to go to school, work, or get more comfortable in social settings.

According to thousands upon thousands of anecdotal stories over decades, microdosing psilocybin is purported to:
– Improve your creativity;
– Help you enter states of flow, also known as “being in the zone” or entering a mental state of total energized concentration;
– Help alleviate feelings of stress and anxiety;
– Improve focus and concentration;
– Improves relational awareness and;
– Speeds your reflexes.

We have to rely on anecdotal evidence unfortunately, because until recently, very little scientific study has been done on the subject of microdosing, though that is starting to change with many clinical studies underway.
Despite a lack of hard scientific data, the practice is sworn upon by many in high pace environments, such as Silicon Valley. A couple famous examples of microdosers include: Joe Rogan and Steve Jobs, though for the later it was more LSD microdosing.
Let me know in the comments if you want to see a video on LSD microdosing in the future.
