Psyched: Psychedelics & Sex, MDMA And Federal Approval, Canadians For End-Of-Life Care And More
Portfolio Pulse from Lara Goldstein
A new study highlights the potential of psychedelics like LSD and magic mushrooms in improving sexual function. The FDA has accepted an NDA from Lykos Therapeutics for MDMA-assisted therapy for PTSD, marking a significant step towards integrating psychedelic therapies into mainstream medicine. Despite the growing interest and decriminalization efforts in several states, federal law still prohibits psilocybin. Canadian research supports psilocybin therapy for end-of-life distress, and a Washington doctor is challenging the DEA for approval to use it with terminally ill patients. The psychedelics sector, including companies like Numinus Wellness and various psychedelics stocks, shows signs of growth and investor interest.
