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.”

In this episode, Arrowyn speaks on how psychedelics are integrated into recovery and addiction, how community can profoundly impact those in recovery, and how we can assist those who are in need of psychedelic therapy but may not have access.
In today’s episode of PSYCBiz, James, the Psychedelic Investor, sits down with David Harder, Co-CEO of ATMA.
ATMA is a company that is primarily focused on training therapists on how to conduct psychedelic therapy.
The company also has plans to launch psilocybin clinical trials, treat depression patients in Canada under the SAP program, and work with Oregon in their legalization of psilocybin therapy.
This interview took place at the Catalyst Summit, a psychedelic conference that David Harder helped organize. This conference saw big names like Paul Stamets attend.
In the conversation, David and James get philosophical and discuss the nature of psychedelics and consciousness. Topics such as the right to try are also discussed.

![Psilocybin Trial Treating Depression CRUSHES It [Are We At A Turning Point?]](https://psychedelicspotlight.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/maxresdefault-83-600x338.jpeg)
Results Are OUT! Finally we see that psilocybin is MORE EFFECTIVE in treating depression than the commonly used SSRIS. This study, run by the Imperial College of London is the FIRST MAJOR STUDY directly comparing SSRI’s with psilocybin, the predominant method of treatment.
The data was released on the 14th of April. So yes, this psilocybin trial treating depression CRUSHED SSRIS!
The study had 59 patients with Major Depressive Disorder, 30 of whom took 2 doses of Psilocybin 3 weeks apart, and 29 of whom took an SSRI, and the results will have MASSIVE IMPLICATIONS throughout the psychedelic investing world.
Though the study’s primary research objective which was purely by how much depression declined using the Quids SR 16 test, EVERY OTHER MEASUREMENT, such as using other measuring methods, decreases in Suicide ideation and percentage of patients in remission were secondary research objectives.
And again, every secondary research objective heavily FAVORED psilocybin.
This will be major news for companies like Compass Pathways (CMPS) and MindMed (MMED / MMEDF / MMQ)

General thoughts. We’ve been covering decriminalization and legalization efforts for almost two months now and EVERY WEEK, we see a new state or city starting to understand that psychedelics may be beneficial to society and may be able to treat mental illnesses such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, etc. On top of that, every week, we see study after study releasing promising results on the benefits of psychedelics to treat such mental maladies. If this is not proof that the SHROOM BOOM is real, what is? As more studies are released, it’ll only become more clear that psychedelics such as psilocybin, MDMA, DMT, LSD, etc may be able to disrupt a TRILLION dollar industry and us psychedelic investors might as well extract two-fold benefits : a. getting massive returns on investment and b. contributing to make the world a better place.

![PSY: The First American Psychedelic ETF [Excerpt]](https://psychedelicspotlight.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/maxresdefault-120-600x338.jpeg)
Since Last week’s episode was so long, we decided to cut it into pieces so we don’t bore you guys!
The ETF “seeks to track the BITA Medical Psychedelics, Cannabis, and Ketamine Index, a rules-based index that tracks the performance of companies listed in North American Exchanges that operate business models focused on the legal usage of psychedelics, cannabis, and ketamine for therapeutic purposes.”
In this excerpt, we cover what the new American psychedelic ETF (PSY:NYSE) is, as well as my thoughts on it!
Enjoy the mini episode!
