The TLS team is comprised of physicians and scientists who are recognized thought leaders in the fields of Neurology, Pharmacology, Pain Management, Addiction and Biochemistry and have significant experience in the clinical application of cannabinoid compounds.
The company's principal medical team includes
Dr. William Honer: Head, Scientific Advisory Board at TLS and an Internationally recognized translational scientist and physician. He is a Psychiatrist and the previous Head of the Department at UBC. He is Fellowship trained at Columbia University and the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. He has published over 300 peer-reviewed manuscripts including primary clinical trial authorship works in journals such as the New England Journal of Medicine.
Dr. Caroline MacCallum is the Chief Medical Officer of TLS. She is a pharmacist and internal medicine physician with deep expertise in complex pain and medical cannabis. She is a medical director of a Vancouver- based private cannabis clinic and an internationally sought after speaker and world recognized leader in cannabis education, policy, clinical guideline development and research.

He did a post doctoral fellowship at UBC and Harvard University. He maintains an internationally recognized research program in brain injury, mental health and addictions.
Yield Growth subsidiary Flourish Mushroom Labs issued 15,000,000 units of Flourish, consisting of 15,000,000 shares (approximately 10% of Flourish outstanding shares) and 15,000,000 warrants to acquire additional Flourish shares at $0.50 per share, and in consideration Flourish acquired approximately 18% of the TLS outstanding stock, at a deemed cost of $750,000.

"As a founder in TLS, we will now work with TLS to increase the value of our investment by helping it build out its management team, raise additional capital and complete its plans to develop intellectual property in plant based medicine," says Yield Growth and Flourish CEO Penny White. "We believe our alliance with TLS will help establish us a leader in the emerging industry of psychedelic medicine."
Psychedelic medicine involves research and investigations into mind-altering substances to treat illnesses. On January 13, 2020 COMPASS Pathways, a mental health care company, announced that it had been granted a US Patent relating to methods of treating drug-resistant depression with a psilocybin formulation.
According to CNBC, German company ATAI Life Sciences, a major investor in COMPASS, announced in March 2019 that it has raised more than $40 million in new financing, valuing the company at $240 million. ATAI is also targeting a potential initial public offering, for which, according to Bloomberg, ATAI provided a valuation target figure of $800 million to COMPASS.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated that the total "economic burden" of prescription opioid misuse alone in the United States is $78.5 billion a year, including the costs of healthcare, lost productivity, addiction treatment, and criminal justice involvement.
