Interview with Hadas Alterman

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.

Enjoy the episode!

HAVN VS. Mindmed – Whose Cluster Headache Treatment Is Better?

Havn Life Sciences, (CSE: HAVN / OTC: HAVLF / FRA: 5NP) has started to be mentioned more and more on this channel, particularly in our “This Week In Psychedelic Stocks” segment.
In light of HAVN’s recent news that it is entering the cluster headaches segment, we are having a discussion with the company CEO, Tim Moore.

HAVN is focused on standardizing extraction of psychoactive compounds, the development of natural health products, and developing innovative mental health treatment to support brain health and enhance the capabilities of the mind.

Interestingly enough, HAVN Labs is of the first companies to receive permission from Health Canada to work with psilocybin in 2020.

The global functional food market is expected to reach $34.3 Billion USD by 2024, registering a CAGR of 8.04% during the forecast period (2019-2024) and is expected to experience huge demand for Reishi and Cordyceps. This is why HAVN Life has decided to pursue formulations with these mushrooms.
