Thu January 30, 2020
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - January 30, 2020) - The Yield Growth Corp. (CSE: BOSS) (OTCQB: BOSQF) (FSE: YG3) subsidiary Flourish Mushroom Labs is pleased to announce that on January 28, 2020 the Santa Cruz California City Council has unanimously voted in favour of a resolution to decriminalize a wide range of psychedelics.
Santa Cruz, California
Marijuanamoment.net reports that activists in roughly 100 cities across the U.S. are hoping to replicate that resolution with the goal of decriminalizing certain psychedelic substances through ballot initiatives and legislative action at the local level.
"This move is an exciting step toward the safe and legal commercialization of psilocybin mushrooms," said Yield Growth CEO Penny White. "With increasing awareness around the therapeutic potential of mushrooms, I expect to see this trend continuing, and we are preparing to meet the potential future demand for these products with Flourish Mushroom Labs."
Psilocybin mushrooms are already completely legal in Jamaica and have been decriminalized in Portugal.
Late in 2019, Johns Hopkins University received a $17 million dollar donation to study psilocybin as a treatment for disorders such as anorexia, opioid addiction, Alzheimer's, chronic Lyme disease, post-traumatic stress disorder, and alcohol addiction, according to qz.com.
"With more dollars being put behind studying mushrooms for therapeutic use, I expect we will see more and more action to decriminalize psilocybin. We believe we are at the forefront of a true renaissance in therapeutic, plant-based medicine," added Penny White.
