Vancouver, British Columbia – October 6, 2021 – Delic Holding Corp Inc. (“DELIC” or the “Company”) (CSE: DELC) (OTCQB: DELCF) (FRA: 6X0) (Original Source), the leading psychedelic wellness platform, today announced Delic Labs has applied for a Health Canada 56 Research Exemption that would allow the scientists to perform research and tests on a host of compounds outside of psychedelic mushrooms, including MDMA and LSD. The lab currently holds a 56 Research Exemption for chemistry analytics on psilocybin mushrooms.

Additionally, the lab has applied for a Dealer’s License and intends to eventually commercialize its psilocybin research and associated intellectual property (IP) for medical and research purposes. Some of the work would include researching extraction of pharmaceutically relevant compounds from  psychedelic mushrooms and turning those extracts into medical products. Additionally, Delic Labs will synthesize non-naturally occurring compounds as part of its ongoing med-chem pipeline..

Delic Labs is a federally-authorized psilocybin and cannabis research laboratory focused on extraction, analytical testing, and chemical process development. Delic Labs serves as the engine for the Delic platform, conducting research and developing innovative product lines and intellectual property, including psilocybin vaporization technology for future distribution across the Company’s physical footprint and licensed psychedelic wellness clinics in the United States.

Matt Stang, co-founder and CEO of Delic Corp, stated, “Never before has a lab been authorized to test psychedelic compounds such as MDMA and LSD with the opportunity to create new medicines for the millions suffering from debilitating conditions like depression, anxiety, PTSD and Parkinson’s disease. Delic Labs is leading the way in psychedelic compound testing and ensuring the safety and effectiveness of any treatments produced using them, while also actively researching potential new medicines for the market.”

Dr. Markus Roggen, co-founder of DELIC Labs stated, “Once we secure this 56 Research Exemption together with the Dealer’s License, Delic Labs will become the leader in safety testing of psychedelic compounds to ensure the highest standards and quality control. We will greatly expand our capabilities to work with other banned substances, such as MDMA and LSD, along with psilocybin to develop new psychedelic drugs for medical and research purposes. We believe we are on the cusp of understanding the breadth of what is possible with psychedelics and medicine.”

Founded by Dr. Roggen, an award-winning chemist, and UBC Professor, Dr. Glenn Sammis, Delic Labs supports the psychedelic industry with high precision chemical analytics,  metabolomic identification and process optimization. Delic Labs is one of a handful of licensed psilocybin research labs in Canada and has an aggressive plan to build out a suite of novel compounds and delivery methods for the industry.

Optimi Health Natural Psilocybin Extraction Breakthrough Submitted for Provisional Patent Application

Optimi Health Natural Psilocybin Extraction Breakthrough Submitted for Provisional Patent Application

Company utilizes green chemistry to stabilize natural product with higher yields

VANCOUVER, BC  (October 5, 2021) — Optimi Health Corp. (CSE: OPTI) (OTCQB: OPTHF) (FRA: 8BN) (“Optimi” or the “Company”), developers of a vertically integrated functional mushroom brand focused on the health and wellness sector, is pleased to advise of a recent patent filing pertaining to a breakthrough process that facilitates the extraction of the natural products Psilocybin and Psilocin from mushrooms at higher yields than previously possible.

The instability of Psilocybin and Psilocin has historically been a difficult problem to solve. Compared to the total alkaloid content believed to be in mushrooms, analytical chemistry studies have shown a 3-fold decrease in the total alkaloid content when the alkaloids are extracted from mushrooms that have been subjected to dehydration. Optimi has discovered a novel, high yielding extraction technique by combining multiple process steps that collectively increase the total yield of alkaloids retrieved from the mushrooms.

Many companies in the sector frequently use synthetic Psilocybin due to the instability of Psilocin which has been shown to degrade due to its phenolic hydroxy group. Optimi’s unique extraction technique not only increases overall alkaloid yield, but also protects the active alkaloids from degradation. Optimi Health Chief Scientific Officer, Justin Kirkland notes, “I find the compounds produced by these mushrooms as quite precious and am delighted to have developed a procedure that maintains their integrity.”

This innovative molecular protection process is believed to increase the bioavailability and permeability of the active components of the mushroom. In keeping with Optimi Health’s commitment to sustainability and the environment, the proprietary process protected in the patent filing extensively utilizes green chemistry. Additionally, the process aids in lowering the cost of the final drug product for the patient as well as creating improved manufacturing efficiencies and improved safety characteristics related to farm operations.

Optimi Health CEO Bill Ciprick states, “Today’s announcement reflects our determination to advance the innovation of all-natural mushroom science. We’ve achieved a singular achievement which will ultimately enable future patients the ability to select a superior, natural solution for their needs. The fact our process is both cost-effective and offers higher yields is, of course, a potentially significant commercial factor for us. We are looking forward to implementing these improved procedures as the construction of our mushroom farm facilities nears completion and are excited to continue to develop our inhouse IP portfolio to bring added value to our venture and ultimately to our shareholders.”

On Behalf of the Board of Directors,

Bill Ciprick
Chief Executive Officer
Optimi Health Corp.

Delic Partnership With Paradigm Healthcare Of Georgia Brings Clinically Relevant Toxicology Testing To Ketamine Treatment For First Time

Psychedelic Treatment Chain Ketamine Infusion Centers Will Leverage State-of-the-Art Toxicology Testing Solution to Ensure Highest Quality Results Across Locations

Vancouver, British Columbia – September 30, 2021 – Delic Holding Corp Inc. (“DELIC” or the “Company”) (CSE: DELC) (OTCQB: DELCF) (FRA: 6X0) (original source), the leading psychedelic wellness platform, today announced a first of its kind partnership with Paradigm Healthcare, an independent clinical laboratory located in St. Simons, Georgia, United States, with a focus on high complexity, clinical toxicology, to bring state-of-the-art  testing to  Ketamine Infusion Centers LLC (“KIC”).

  • Detect very high levels of ketamine and norketamine, thereby enabling KIC clinicians to make patient-specific treatment decisions and to ensure proper ketamine levels are maintained throughout infusion treatment.
  • Compare ketamine and norketamine levels with analytical data captured from Clinifusion EMR, including benchmarks when treatment started and ended, at what point patients began getting better, and the number of times the patient visited the clinics for treatments, to provide the best overview of a patient’s treatment journey.

Matt Stang, founder and CEO of DELIC stated, “Paradigm’s Benchmark testing platform brings state-of-the-art drug testing technology and new reporting tools to clinicians who use psychedelics to treat people with serious behavioral health conditions; We are proud to partner with Paradigm. By integrating their state-of-the-art testing capabilities, KIC will be able to provide patients suffering from depression, anxiety, PTSD and other debilitating conditions the most accurate, personalized ketamine treatment protocol in the industry.”

“We believe this partnership with Paradigm will take patient care to the next level,” said Sonny Diaz, co-founder of KIC. “Their powerful toxicology testing gives us the ability to quickly assess a patient’s system ahead of treatment and develop a custom plan for moving them through the protocol. Paired with data from Clinifusion EMR, we can see exactly when they started to get better and can keep people at the right levels to maintain their wellness. KIC will be the only clinic able to aggregate this type of analytical data and validate the results.”

Catherine Veal, President, Paradigm stated, “We are very excited about this partnership with Delic and KIC. Paradigm is committed to providing the best scientific data available to support KIC and Delic in their efforts to combine laboratory science with the developing science of psychedelic treatments in patient care. Our industry-leading toxicology testing will now be available to help people who struggle with different behavioral health conditions, including PTSD, major depression, anxiety, as they undergo ketamine infusion to find their way back to better health and wellness.”

KIC enables Delic to leverage its central hub of psychedelic education, media, and information sources to patients seeking psychedelic therapy. Delic Corp is uniquely positioned to bring digital awareness to its various holdings under the Delic Corp umbrella, and drive online users to brick and mortar holdings, including KIC’s physical psychedelic clinics.

Over the last 3 years, KIC has expanded from Arizona to California, while overseeing 4,000 treatments delivered to date, and generating over USD$1.5MM in revenue.

Red Light Holland: Initial Results From Red Light Oregon Market Research in Oregon Show 86% of Adults Interested in Psilocybin Services are Interested in Microdosing

Red Light Holland: Initial Results From Red Light Oregon Market Research in Oregon Show 86% of Adults Interested in Psilocybin Services are Interested in Microdosing

Toronto, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – September 29, 2021) – Red Light Oregon, Inc. (“Red Light Oregon“) a 50/50 joint venture of Halo Collective Inc. (NEO: HALO) (OTCQB: HCANF) (FSE: A9K) (“Halo Collective“) and Red Light Holland Corp. (CSE: TRIP) (FSE: 4YX) (OTC Pink: TRUFF), (“Red Light Holland“), is pleased to announce preliminary findings from a statistically significant and representative market study of Oregon adults. The market research study (the “Market Research Study“), aimed to gather insights on the likely beneficiaries of Measure 109 and the legalization of psilocybin services by the Oregon Health Authority (“Psilocybin Services“) for adults in Oregon and help support the Oregon Psilocybin Advisory Board (OPAB) and health officials in making data-informed regulations.

The market research utilized an online survey with 13 questions answered by 473 Oregonians. The survey was powered by Dynata Insights Platform to ensure accurate quota sampling. The data was analyzed by data scientist Alicia Chen.

Some Initial data from the Market Research Study has uncovered:

● 86% of adults interested in Psilocybin Services are interested in microdosing.
● 49% of those interested in Psilocybin Services are interested in services such as increasing creativity (35%), exploring their mind (29%) and exploring spirituality (29%).
● Oregonians who are not interested in Psilocybin Services because they don’t want to pay for them list their largest concern is supporting Big Pharma.
● 84% of those interested in Psilocybin Services are interested in services to help with their mental health.
● While nearly half of all adults (49%) are interested in paying for Psilocybin Services, 37% of Adults in Oregon do not know what psilocybin is. In addition, women, people who have not completed a college degree, and Asian minorities in Oregon are less likely to know what psilocybin is.
● On average, people would like to pay around $100 USD for a psilocybin therapy session and approximately $50 USD for a microdosing session. However, there is a significant difference between those in lower-income brackets vs. higher income brackets ($93 USD vs. $223 USD, respectively).
● There is a trend showing younger adults are more interested in Microdosing than Boomers (94% Gen Z, 74% Boomers), although it did not reach statistical significance in the sample size.

Based on this data, Red Light Oregon has:

● Launched a community outreach program to educate the public and health care providers about the latest scientific research around psilocybin and the opportunities of Measure 109. Red Light Oregon will be focusing on reaching out to underserved populations, as seen in the data, which have not had the privilege to be exposed to the potential benefits of psilocybin. The program will utilize Wisdom, a VR app that explains the effects of psilocybin on the brain. You can register to receive more information on: https://redlightoregon.com/.
● Launched an advocacy program to educate the Oregon Psilocybin Advisory Board and Oregon health officials around the potential benefits of microdosing and the ability to increase the equity of Measure 109 with regulation specifically addressing microdosing, which is a lower-priced service. Red Light Oregon aims to work with Oregon authorities utilizing Red Light Oregon’s legal advisor to assist in bridging the gap between regulations and what the people in Oregon want.

Below are some of the answers from the 49% of adults in the sample from Oregon interested in paying for Psilocybin Services.

“The data Red Light Oregon has received, so far, from Oregon is showing the immediate need people have for psychedelic services to help with mental health. The data also shows many of them are interested in microdosing,” said Todd Shapiro, CEO, and Director of Red Light Holland. “Measure 109 is focused on equity, and equity starts with education, which is why we have launched our community outreach program. Oregonians have also shown us their genuine concern around supporting Big Pharma and Red Light Oregon is committed to being the people’s company starting by listening to what the people want while advocating for legal access through education, information, and responsible use.”

“With 51% of adults interested in Psilocybin Services and 88% of those respondents being interested in microdosing, we believe there is a huge opportunity for a company with our shared expertise to provide the people of Oregon with the best services,” added Katie Field, Co-President of Red Light Oregon and President and Executive Director at Halo Collective.

“Psilocybin has meaningful potential to help people grow and heal, and it’s everyone’s responsibility to make sure the benefits from this natural substance are available to everyone even if they don’t make six figures. We are impressed with the OPAB’s emphasis on equity and hope this data will help them come up with recommendations that will ensure this goal. For Measure 109 to be equitable, it should also take into account the wants of the younger generation and make sure that group sessions and microdosing are clearly defined in the regulation to increase accessibility to lower-priced Psilocybin Services,” said Sarah Hashkes, Co-president of Red Light Oregon and Chief Technology and Innovation Officer of Red Light Holland.

Further data from the survey continues to be analyzed. An official report is estimated to be released to the public, the OPAB and health officials in mid-October.

Measure 109 will make Psilocybin Services available to 21 years and older in Oregon who think they can benefit from them without a need for medical diagnosis. The service must include a required prep-session, psilocybin session in a licensed facility supervised by a licensed facilitator and a possibility of an integration session. On December 31, 2022, the Oregon Health Authority will prescribe forms and regulations necessary for the exact implementation.

Lobe Sciences Announces Data Demonstrating That Its Combination Therapeutic Candidates are Significantly More Effective Than Monotherapy in mTBI and PTSD

Lobe Sciences Announces Data Demonstrating That Its Combination
Therapeutic Candidates are Significantly More Effective Than
Monotherapy in mTBI and PTSD

Combination Therapy with Psilocybin plus NAC (N-Acetylcysteine) Is Statistically Significantly Better Than Either Agent Alone or Placebo in a Rodent Model of mTBI and PTSD

VANCOUVER, BC, Sept. 28, 2021 /PRNewswire/ – Lobe Sciences Ltd. (“Lobe” or the “Company“) (CSE: LOBE) (OTC Pink: GTSIF) is pleased to announce interim data from its preclinical research studies, in established rodent models of mild traumatic brain injury/concussion (“mTBI”) and post-traumatic stress disorder (“PTSD”), using psilocybin plus N-Acetylcysteine (“NAC”). The study is being conducted in collaboration with a multidisciplinary team of scientists and physicians at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine under the leadership of Michael E. Hoffer, M.D., professor of otolaryngology and neurological surgery.

The rodents treated with the combination of psilocybin and NAC performed statistically significantly better (P < 0.000005) than the rodents treated with monotherapy with psilocybin, NAC or placebo.

Philip Young, CEO of Lobe stated, “I am thankful to Dr. Hoffer and his team for their excellent work. This data is validation of our therapeutic hypothesis that the use of these two active therapeutics provides superior efficacy to either placebo or single drug therapy in this model of TBI and PTSD. We believe that these data directly support our IP and will allow us to build on our leadership position in the rapidly evolving psychedelic therapeutics marketplace. Despite the significant shortage of psilocybin in North America the Miami team was able to deliver these data. However, the shortage has impacted the timing of the next planned studies. We have responded to this supply shortage by working to identify a manufacturing company who will supply high purity cGMP psilocybin to the University of Miami so that the remaining studies can be completed.”

Dr. Hoffer stated “These are promising results that suggest that a combination of psilocybin and NAC can work better than either drug administered as a single agent after traumatic brain injury.  We look forward to future work that will help to reaffirm these outcomes and further clarify the role of medical countermeasures in combatting traumatic insults to the brain.”

Maghsoud Dariani, Chief Science Officer of Lobe said, “We are extremely pleased that the interim data from our preclinical studies validates our therapeutic hypothesis that NAC plus psilocybin would provide superior efficacy over either agent used alone. NAC remains the only compound that has successfully completed a human phase 1 equivalent trial in a population of individuals who had acute mTBI. Dr. Hoffer’s team has made significant in-roads studying psychedelic medicine and NAC specifically as it relates to mTBI and PTSD. Given there are currently no approved medicinal treatments for mTBI and PTSD, we feel this data is supportive of our plans to advance into future human clinical trials which we hope will eventually lead to approved therapeutics for these unmet needs.”

Trials Methodology And Results

Rodent models have been essential for revealing the normal and pathological processes that influence learning and memory. The University of Miami team has extensive experience and expertise in running these and other important models. In a standard model of normal behavior that assess the amount of time that rodents exhibit exploratory activity, rodents who underwent trauma and treated with the combination agents spent significantly more time exploring than they did with single agents or vehicle alone. The rodents treated with the combination of psilocybin and NAC performed statistically significantly better (P < 0.000005) than the rodents treated with monotherapy with psilocybin, NAC or placebo.

NeonMind Advances Strategy For Specialty Clinic Launch

NeonMind Advances Strategy For Specialty Clinic Launch

Company expects to launch first specialty clinic locations by early 2022

 NeonMind-branded specialty mental health clinics to bring innovative interventional psychiatry treatments to underserved populations in Canada

 Vancouver, B.C. – September 28, 2021: NeonMind Biosciences Inc. (CSE: NEON) (OTCQB: NMDBF) (FRA: 6UF) (“NeonMind” or the “Company”), an integrated drug development and wellness company, today provided an update on the Company’s medical services division, including its specialty clinics initiative to establish a national network of clinics offering interventional psychiatry treatments. The Company recently established a best-in-class Specialty Clinics Advisory Board to oversee the advancement of its medical services division and is currently in advanced negotiations with potential partners to launch locations in early 2022.

 

Specialty Mental Health Clinics Update

To continue its commitment in providing access to psychedelic-based treatments for mental health disorders, NeonMind is working to establish NeonMind-branded specialty mental health clinics. The Company is in ongoing discussions with a number of key opinion leaders and potential strategic partners, all of which are progressing successfully and are currently in late-stage assessments.

Based on the progress to-date, NeonMind expects its first clinic to go live by early 2022. Following the first clinic opening, the Company anticipates the launch of additional clinic locations throughout the course of 2022, continuing to expand locations and services in 2023 and beyond.

“We continue to be encouraged by the clinical promise and market potential for interventional psychiatry,” said Rob Tessarolo, President and CEO of NeonMind. “There is unprecedented demand for these innovative treatments and we have an opportunity to be the first major player in this space. We continue to have late stage discussions as we evaluate a series of potential opportunities and partnerships, which we believe will be transformational for NeonMind and the patients we aim to serve.”

Mr. Tessarolo added, “Our discussions are focused on operational partners with a proven track record of success in the medical treatment space to operate our national clinic network in a capital efficient manner. We are encouraged by the reception we have received and look forward to providing further updates as these discussions continue to advance.”

 

Strategic Opportunity in Interventional Psychiatry – Addressing a Major Medical Market

Mental health disorders have reached a crisis level, which has been compounded by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, in particular, depression and anxiety disorders.  The economic burden is massive with an estimated cost of $51 billion annually to Canadians1. Traditional treatments such as pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy have varying degrees of effectiveness, but for the most part leave the crisis largely unaddressed.

A new and promising field of interventional psychiatry including ketamine/esketamine, neurostimulation, and psychedelic treatment modalities are showing unprecedented clinical efficacy. This new modality is establishing itself as a game changing and staple armamentarium for patients and clinicians.  Despite this, broader access to these treatments remains extremely limited in Canada due to a lack of infrastructure and awareness.

Importantly, these treatments require specialized clinic models and treatment teams which is the focus of NeonMind’s medical services division: to establish NeonMind-branded, best-in-class, national specialty clinics network providing interventional psychiatry treatments tailored for local communities’ healthcare needs.

Strategically, NeonMind’s near-term focus is to scale its services to address the large demand for clinician-validated treatments including ketamine/esketamine and neurostimulation.  With impending regulatory approvals for psychedelic modalities including MDMA for anxiety disorders, psilocybin for depression disorders and NeonMind’s proprietary psychedelic treatment for weight management, NeonMind’s clinics will also adopt these treatments and serve as future access points to psychedelic modalities, providing important strategic exposure to the psychedelics market.

 

World-Class Specialty Clinics Advisory Board to Guide Build-Out of National Clinic Network

To support a best-in-class integrated services platform and comprehensive set of programs, NeonMind has successfully built an industry-leading advisory board of top-rated clinicians, including  Dr. Sagar Parikh, MD, Dr. Roumen Milev, MD/PhD, and Dr. Gustavo Vazquez, MD/PhD. These board members bring practical and scientific accolades in depression and anxiety disorders and interventional psychiatry which will help further our mission.

All three advisors are highly renowned and considered to be at the forefront of this transformational field with academic influence and significant involvement in national societies and initiatives such as the Canadian Network for Mood and Anxiety Treatments (CANMAT) and the Canadian Biomarker Integration Network for Depression (CAN-BIND). Moreover, they offer vast clinical and research experience from Canada, US and Latin America with hands-on success in setting up and managing interventional psychiatry practices that integrate psychedelics such as ketamine and esketamine. Combined, they have effectively provided thousands of interventional psychiatry treatments to patients.

About NeonMind Biosciences Inc.

NeonMind operates two divisions: (i) a pharmaceutical division engaged in drug development of psychedelic compounds with two lead psilocybin-based drug candidates targeting obesity; and (ii) a medical services division focused on launching specialty mental health clinics that integrate psychedelic therapeutics into traditional psychotherapy settings.

In its pharmaceutical division, NeonMind has two distinct psilocybin drug development programs targeting obesity. NeonMind’s lead candidate, NEO-001, employs psilocybin as an agonist at the serotonin 5- HT2A receptor, which is involved in the hallucinogenic effect of psychedelics. The Company’s second drug candidate, NEO-002, employs low-dose psilocybin as an agonist at the 5-HT2C receptor, which controls appetite.

NeonMind established a medical services division with the goal of launching NeonMind-branded specialty mental health clinics in Canada that incorporate evidence-backed innovative treatments to address a variety of mental health needs.
