Mydecine Innovations
Mydecine Innovations Group (CSE: MYCO) (OTC: MYCOF) announced that it has completed its first commercial harvest of 20 kilograms of psilocybin mushrooms at its research and cultivation facility in Jamaica. The company said it is now preparing to export the harvest to its Canadian cGMP Facility which has a Health Canada schedule 1 Dealer’s License attached to it, allowing for legal import.
“We are pleased to announce the completion of our first commercial harvest of natural psilocybin mushrooms,” said Joshua Bartch, CEO and Chairman of Mydecine. “There is more research needed on these compounds in order to better understand the entourage effect experienced by patients which has shown dramatically effective results compared to single-molecule synthetic psilocybin in preliminary studies. As the industry grows, the need for naturally occurring psilocybin and access to large quantities of these molecules will be paramount and we are excited to be the first to advance this movement at scale.”
Mydecine said that its final product will be made available for purchase by other licensed institutions and companies conducting clinical research into the efficacy of these compounds to treat various health conditions including anxiety, addiction, depression and PTSD. Portions of the harvest will also be used for Mydecine’s proprietary genetic, pharmacology, and clinical research. The clinical use will be for the studies and developing protocols of psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy to treat PTSD in veterans and other frontline workers.

Heroic Hearts is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in the United States that connects military veterans struggling with mental trauma, to psychedelic therapy options including ayahuasca, psilocybin, and ketamine. Heroic Hearts also provides support and professional counseling to these veterans throughout the process. These veterans typically have tried all the available resources offered by the Department of Veteran Affairs with limited success leaving them with very few options. Heroic Hearts currently has branches across the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom.
“This collaboration between Havn Life and Heroic Hearts has the potential to make an extraordinary impact on the mental health and wellness of military veterans,” said Susan Chapelle, EVP of Research and Development at Havn Life. “Under the agreement, Havn Life will supply products and compounds to be used in Heroic Hearts’ future clinical studies that will investigate the effects of low-dosage psychedelic compounds on veterans suffering from emotional trauma and PTSD. This progressive research will help develop clinical trial formulations to aid in the recovery of PTSD and other trauma-related disorders. We look forward to working closely with veterans and others with military backgrounds.”
