Shep Gordon commented “We are at the forefront of discovering what psychedelics can really do for society. We have only just begun to understand what they can really do for us and the world. Having been a trailblazer in film, music, and culinary, I see the opportunity ahead with what DELIC is doing within the psychedelics sector. I believe DELIC has the team and access to deals and relationships to entrepreneurs to be the leader in the industry and I look forward to providing value from my experience and help to position DELIC as a leader in the space.”
