This is Why Investors are Just Beginning to Invest in Psychedelics
Tue May 12, 2020
Houston, Texas--(Newsfile Corp. - May 12, 2020) - Psychedelics may change the way we look at medicine - and significantly help improve the health and mental state of millions of people around the world.
There's so much buzz, some analysts say the industry could be as much as $5 billion annually, as noted by The Growth Op. "I have seen some investment groups out there who have invested $100 million in the last 12 to 24 months," says Tim Regan, vice president of capital markets for KCSA Strategic Communications.
All as a number of studies show such treatments can assist with issues such as substance dependency, PTSD, depression, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, and pain. Researchers from the University of California David, for example, found that micro-dosing with psychedelic drugs "demonstrates that psychedelics can produce beneficial behavioral effects without drastically altering perception, which is a critical step towards producing viable medicines inspired by these compounds," said David Olson of UC Davis, as quoted by Esquire.
Another study in the Journal of Psychopharmacology found that a single mushroom-based treatment can help improve the lives of cancer patients' quality of life for nearly five years. This study builds on a 2016 study that provided treatments to 29 people suffering with life-threatening cancer, and were also diagnosed with depression or anxiety.
A 2017 study featured in the journal, Nature -- Psilocybin for treatment-resistant depression: fMRI-measured brain mechanisms - showed that 47% of treatment-resistant patients with depression showed positive responses five weeks after psilocybin treatments.
Even the US FDA is on board after giving COMPASS Pathways a Breakthrough Therapy designation for its program of psilocybin therapy in treatment-resistant depression in 2018. COMPASS Pathways also just raised $80 million to push its psilocybin therapy into Phase 3 development to help folks with treatment-resistant depression.
However, COMPASS isn't the only company thriving on the psychedelics boom.
