Hello psychedelic investors! Today’s episode is a bit different yet still relevant to all of us invested in the psychedelic industry!
To summarize,
Andrew Yang comes out Hard against the war on drugs and for legalizing psilocybin. He says “The war on drugs has been a war on people”.
Specifically, Andrew Yang calls out the criminalization of opioid use, saying big pharma has gotten these people addicted while “generating billions of dollars of blood money”, and then we throw people in jail for the pharma industries failures.
This is, in Yang’s eyes, not a criminal problem, but a public health problem.
If people are addicted to something, don’t throw them in jail, get them the help that they need to treat an illness that in many cases was caused by billionaire pharma companies.
How will Andrew Yang create a de facto decriminalization?
He would instruct the DA not to prosecute for possession charges.
Its that simple.
Finally he talks about how he is for the legalization of psilocybin and open to legalize other substances.
Yang is calling for decriminalizing the use of all drugs, AND to legalize psilocybin..

In today’s episode, we discuss MindMed (Nasdaq: MNMD, NEO:MMED) and its Phase 2 LSD Trial Treating Anxiety Results.
MindMed (Nasdaq: MNMD, NEO:MMED) finally gave the world a glimpse into its LSD-as-medicine project today.
Speaking at the highly anticipated PSYCH Symposium in London, researchers Prof. Matthias Liechti and Dr. Friederike Holze presented topline data of a Phase 2, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, attempting to treat anxiety disorders with LSD in 46 patients. Patients received 200 µg (micrograms) of LSD, which is considered a large dose.
The results were very positive, though perhaps not paradigm shifting — yet.
The primary endpoint of the study was the reduction in anxiety levels 16 weeks after the administration of LSD. They measured this using a questionnaire called the State Trait Anxiety Inventory, better known by its acronym STAI. In short, a person can have a score between 0 and 63, with the higher the score, the worse the anxiety.
The study found that 65% of patients saw their anxiety levels drop by at least 30% from where they were before treatment, 16 weeks after dosing. This compared to only 9% of patients in the placebo arm reaching that 30% level. The average reduction in the STAI was 16.2 points.
Importantly, there was only one serious adverse event in the trial, which consisted of “acute transient anxiety and delusions” during the LSD experience. It does not appear that this patient had any troubles once the effects wore off. In sum, the administration of large doses of LSD appears to be very safe, even if one person did have a particularly bad experience during the dosing.
Furthermore, when looking at secondary variables that measure depression, anxiety and other major psychiatric symptoms (Hamilton Depression Scale, Beck Depression Index, Symptom-Check-List-90-R) the results “showed similarly rapid and sustained responses consistent with a lasting treatment effect.”
In sum, according to MindMed, the topline data demonstrates “the significant, rapid, durable, and beneficial effects of LSD and potential to safely mitigate symptoms of anxiety and depression.”
