Interview With Steven Huang, DEI Consultant at MAPS and Numinus

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!

In today’s episode, we will be covering some Massive MindMed news that broke on January 14th that lead me to believe that MindMed might be expanding to psilocybin.
Mindmed stock, MMED on the Canadian NEO market, and MMEDF on the American OTC market led with a press release entitled “MindMed Adds Chief Development Officer with FDA Phase 2 Psilocybin Clinical Trial Experience”. MindMed revealed that the company has added a scientist named Robert Barrow as their Chief Development Officer.
Tucked away in this news release about a hiring decision is a quote which points to a future MindMed project
And that project will be researching the effects of Psilocybin
So up until now, MindMed has focused all their phase 2 trials on LSD and 18-MC, which is a derivative of Ibogaine, while leaving treating maladies with psilocybin to other companies like Compass Pathways (NASDAQ:CMPS).
So, Barrow is bringing with him to MindMed intimate knowledge about the efficacy of psilocybin in treating MDD, as well as dosing data and regime set up.
MindMed (MMED/MMEDF) has some phase 1 trials looking at the safety of psilocybin in conjunction with the Liechti Lab at the University Hospital Basel
and is also comparing psilocybin to LSD in a phase 1 trial. MindMed also has a licence to test psilocybin. However, MindMed has yet to start a trial specifically looking at psilocybin as a medicine..

So does this mean that MindMed’s hiring decision is related to the company’s plans on expanding their clinical trial pipeline to include a psilocybin treatment, sometime in the future? If that speculation turns out to be true, that decision will further expand MindMed’s potential product pipeline as well as the MindMed stock.

Does our Genetic makeup influence our LSD trip?
Hey psychedelic Investors! MindMed ( MMED/MNMD/MMQ ) recently published a study in Nature Scientific Reports examining the different variations in our genes and how they affect one’s experience during an LSD trip.

The results are leading us to infer that, soon, we might be able to predict the strength, duration and perhaps even the subjective experience one undergoes when taking LSD based on certain genes that we possesses.

If we’re able to do that, how will this affect LSD’s medical uses in therapy setting?

Can we use this knowledge to move towards personalized dosing, where each individual will receive a different dose level for the same procedure, based on what their genetic code tells the therapist?
We will answer these questions in today’s episode .
We will also take a deep dive into the LSD study itself and explain why the findings are important for the future of psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy.

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!

By now, most people watching this video are probably aware of the potential for psychedelic medicines, when combined with therapy, such as psilocybin and MDMA to treat a variety of mental health conditions. But receiving this treatment is still difficult.

In Canada, in addition to clinical trials, there are a couple of avenues that a patient can go through to receive psychedelic therapy. The first is called the Section 56 exemption, which has allowed dozens of people suffering from anxiety relating to terminal illnesses to undergo psilocybin therapy.

There is also a new avenue called the Health Canada “Special Access Program”, though relatively few people have gone through that route so far.

In the interview, we also discuss David’s company, ATMA. ATMA is a company that trains therapists to conduct psychedelic therapies. They also conduct therapy themselves.

Lastly, we discuss the upcoming Catalyst Psychedelic conference, happening in Kingston, Ontario between May 20-23rd. I will be there, and I hope to see you also!
