A second domino is falling in the world of psychedelic stock investing.
Last week, Psychedelic Spotlight reported that Mind Cure Health (CSE: MCUR) (OTCQX: MCURF) was halting its psychedelic medicines research, following a “strategic review” undertaken by the company.
In short, they ran out of money.
As I have stated repeatedly, running a psychedelic research company is ridiculously expensive, and many smaller companies with low market caps and little money in the bank will find it hard to survive in a market context of low stock prices.
At the time, I speculated that “we shouldn’t be surprised if this is just the first domino,” and unfortunately, it didn’t take much time for the prophecy to be realized.
On March 19th, psychedelics company Core One Labs (CSE: COOL) (OTC: CLABF) announced that they are “working to investigate investment and potential takeover opportunities by strategic psychedelics or pharmaceutical companies.”
Or, in other words, they too have run out of money and are looking for a financial savior.
This wasn’t particularly surprising. Taking a cursory look at their financials, we can see the dire position the company is in. As of the end of September, the company had $587,000 CAD in the bank, and they were spending more than $5 million per quarter. With a market cap of around $32 million, Core One would have to dilute their stock by more than 15% each quarter to keep spending at the same levels. This, obviously, is an unsustainable proposition.
So, with two psychedelic medicine companies essentially announcing that they no longer have the financial wherewithal to continue operations, does it mean that the end of psychedelic stocks is near?
No, it most certainly does not.
To start, we need to understand that the psychedelics companies that are beginning to falter are the ones who were already in bad financial shape. There are many companies that have strong financials, and do not need to worry about refinancing any time soon. A short and non-exhaustive list of these companies include: atai Life Sciences (Nasdaq: ATAI); MindMed (Nasdaq: MNMD) (NEO: MMED); and Small Pharma (TSXV: DMT) (OTCQB: DMTTF). Even if — and I judge this to be likely — more small-cap psychedelics companies follow Mind Cure and Core One Labs’ lead, the more financially stable companies won’t be affected.

Breaking News: MindMed launches LSD Microdosing Trial Treating ADHD (Plus MNMD Stock Discussion)
MindMed (Nasdaq:MNMD, NEO:MMED) has launched recruitment for their phase 2a clinical trial, testing using LSD microdoses to treat Adult ADHD!
MindMed’s stock has been down a lot recently, which has people asking “should I sell MindMed”, or “Is MindMed stock a good investment?”, or “why is MindMed stock down?”.
A lot of this drop has to do with a lack of news, not bad news. Now, at long last we finally have some good news! I have been looking forward to this trial starting for over a year now!
This LSD microdosing study is part of Project Flow, MindMed’s LSD microdosing division.
Microdosing LSD, anecdotally, has been shown to: increase focus; decrease anxiety; increase creativity; and improve mood. As improving focus and decreasing anxiety are two issues individuals with ADHD often need help with, it is possible that this may be a better medication than stimulants like Adderall.
The 52 person, placebo controlled study will give 20 micrograms of LSD to Adult ADHD sufferers twice a week for 6 weeks. Six weeks after treatment, the patients symptoms will be compared to where they were before the trial, and compared against the placebo group.
If they do show significant improvement, it will be the first scientific evidence that LSD microdoses can help treat adult ADHD.
Not only would this help tens of millions of people, it would also be lucrative for MindMed, as in the USA alone, the ADHD treatment market is valued at $12.9 billion annually.
Is LSD microdosing good for you? Can LSD Microdosing improve your mental health and Creativity? MindMed aims to find out!

The Spotlight Roundup-The First-Ever Female Founded Psychedelic Company
July 7, 2021- This week’s Psychedelic Business News top stories…
The Psychedelic Sector has Reached “Escape Velocity” | An interview with Cybin’s CEO (CYBN)
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.
Enjoy the episode!
