Conor McGregor Brings TIDL Sport Next Generation Recovery Products to the Netherlands in an Exclusive Partnership with Red Light Holland

Toronto, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – February 28, 2022) – Red Light Holland Corp.

7 days of tripping to heal mentally, physically and radically change a career path

In this episode of The Daily Mushroom Podcast, we have Cory Firth, Executive Director of The Canadian Psychedelic Association and founder of DoseDay! Cory opens about his battle with mental health and shares his experience with psychedelics in his quest to find meaning in his life. He also talks about how he got himself into a 7 ayahuasca retreat and what that journey gave him.

First commercial study of LSD in 40 years

MindMed’s LSD-based compound received FDA clearance, allowing the company to proceed with a trial that will be the first commercial study of LSD in over 40 years.

The study will assess 200 patients with generalized anxiety disorder to find the optimal dose of the formulation. 

Shares of MNMD spiked 30% following the announcement 💰

Goodbye Blue Mondays

A recent study found pure MDMA administered in a clinic does not have the “come down” effect that recreational users often report the day after dosing. 

Participants maintained a positive mood during the week following the dose. Plus, no participant had used or desired to use illegal MDMA at the 3 month and 6 month follow ups.

Mario’s secret revealed 🍄

The iconic red and white spotted mushroom (officially called Amanita Muscaria and unofficially called the Super Mario mushroom) is showing potential to treat arthritis.

Psyched Wellness (PSYC) is working with the National Research Council of Canada (NRC) to study the mushroom’s properties. It doesn’t contain psilocybin, but has a different psychoactive component called muscimol.

Preliminary data suggests that Amantia Muscaria could reduce inflammation in the skin, gut, brain, and lungs. The company believes it has potential to treat chronic inflammatory conditions like arthritis.

Maybe that’s why Mario can jump so high without destroying his joints 😉

MAPS receives Innovation Passport for MDMA therapy 🎉

The Innovation Passport will make MDMA therapy for PTSD widely available in the UK, as rapidly as possible!

The Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) found that 88% of patients had a reduction in PTSD symptoms after three MDMA sessions in conjunction with trauma-focused therapy. 

The organization was granted an Innovation Passport for the treatment – a UK designation that speeds up the timeline for approval of innovative medicines for life-threatening conditions (similar to Breakthrough Therapy Designations in the US, which the treatment received in 2017).

The psychedelic that’s already in our brains

Did you know that one of the most promising addiction treatments is a psychedelic compound that’s found throughout nature and is present within the human body?

It’s called DMT (N,N-Dimethyltryptamine) and is thought to be produced in the brain’s pineal gland. DMT is released in large amounts when we dream and when we die.

Donating psilocybin to patients in need

CCrest Laboratories is donating psilocybin truffles so patients in need can access the medicine for free through Canada’s Special Access Program (SAP).

The company was just approved as a licensed psilocybin producer by Health Canada, along with Numinus Wellness (NUMI) and Filament Health’s (FH) Psilo Scientific, allowing them to supply psilocybin for clinical trials and emergency treatments through the SAP. 

The truffles will be grown by Red Light Holland (TRUFF) and tested at CCrest Labs before being donated as part of their “compassionate need and free supply” approach.

Beckley Psytech began training psychotherapists for a phase II study on 5-MeO-DMT for treatment-resistant depression through Fluence’s interactive training program. Within the next year, Beckley aims to train 80 psychotherapists on how to administer psychedelic therapy.

Mydecine (MYCO) is partnering with a UK-based charity called Combat Stress and the King’s College London to study psilocybin therapy as a treatment for veterans with severe, treatment-resistant PTSD. 

Psygen Labs entered into an agreement to supply Universal Ibogaine (IBO) with ibogaine for an upcoming clinical trial on opioid addiction.

atai Life Sciences (ATAI) launched a wholly owned platform company called Invyxis, which will focus on developing novel compounds that target serotonin 5-HT2A receptors.

Akome Biotech, a subsidiary of Core One Labs’ (COOL), signed a consulting agreement with the University of Barcelona to develop psychedelic treatments for depression, stroke, Parkinson’s, and Alzheimer’s.

Ketamine One (MEDI) changed its name to Wellbeing Digital Sciences and partnered with Nova Mentis (NM) to study psilocybin microdosing for fragile x syndrome.

Oregon is on track to provide legal psilocybin services in 2023

But one question remains unanswered: will the new program include microdosing?

For the past year, the Oregon Health Authority has been planning the regulatory framework to implement Measure 109, which legalized psilocybin sessions under the care of licensed facilitators. The program is on schedule to roll out at the beginning of 2023.

At the latest public Zoom meeting, a push to include microdosing in the program received backlash from some advisory board members, but others thought it was worth considering. Members have until the end of June to reach a consensus.

 

Two psilocybin bills filed in Oklahoma

The first bill would promote research focused on treating depression and anxiety in veterans. The second would promote research into 10 different conditions and reduce the penalty for psilocybin possession to a fine.

Add some ecstasy to your sex life

Over 90% of people experienced increased sexual desire and satisfaction after taking MDMA. But that’s not the only way it can improve your sex life.

Mindcure (MCUR) is studying MDMA-assisted-therapy as a treatment for Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (HSDD), which is characterized by low sex drive and emotional distress. 

The goal is to use MDMA to get to the root cause of the issue, which may be a history of negative sexual experiences and relationships or struggles with self worth or body image.

Microdosing DMT

Algernon Pharmaceuticals (AGN) found that microdoses of DMT can increase the growth of neurons in the brain by up to 40%. An upcoming study will see if this can benefit stroke patients.

Phase I of the study, which is awaiting approval in the UK, will determine the maximum amount of DMT that can be taken without producing a psychedelic effect. Phase II will test repeated doses on acute and recovering stroke patients.

Treating alcoholism in Europe

Last year, Awakn Life Sciences (AWKN) found that MDMA-assisted therapy helped alcoholics reduce alcohol consumption by 85% – from an average of 130.6 units per week to just 18.7.

Now, the company is exploring a partnership with the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) to treat alcohol use disorder across Europe, where alcohol is one of the top five causes of disease and disability in most countries. Awakn may license MAPS’ pre-clinical data to get the treatment to market faster.

Microdosing eases depression

In a preclinical animal model, Wesana Health (WESA) found that a single high dose of psilocybin rapidly improved depressive behaviours for 14 days. A regimen of psilocybin microdoses and CBD was able to sustain the results and reduced depressive behaviours by an additional 64%.

Let’s keep the microdosing evidence coming!

Save the toads

Did you know that potent psychedelics like 5-MeO-DMT and bufotenin come from the venom of the Colorado River Toad? 

With growing demand to study these compounds and increased recreational use, wild populations of the toad are threatened in some areas.

Alvarius Research Inc. recently developed a toad conservation program to address this issue. The company is also collaborating with Egret Bioscience to develop synthetic “toad-free” versions of the compounds.

Psychedelics → power?

An ancient South American empire called the Wari Empire may have used a hallucinogenic beer to maintain its power.

The Wari people brewed a beer-like drink with seeds from the vilca tree, which contain a psychedelic compound called bufotenin (one of the substances found in toad venom!). 

Archeologists believe that Wari leaders served the drink at feasts to strengthen social connections with guests from surrounding regions. Guests likely had a euphoric or spiritual experience, compelling them to “acknowledge the power of their hosts or feel the need to owe them a favor in the future,” explains one archeology expert. 

Could this be why the empire maintained political control for hundreds of years? 🤔

Connect with your microdosing community

If you’re looking to try microdosing, what better way to get started than with a community of like-minded individuals. 

Dose Day is a microdosing peer support network that connects you with a small group with similar intentions and interests. Meet with your group weekly to see how the power of community can support you on your journey.

Whether you’re an artist, an executive, a consciousness junkie or someone looking to improve their mental health, there is a group for you.

Plus, half the fee supports palliative care patients with end-of-life anxiety.

Psygen Industries Ltd. is building Canada’s first manufacturing facility dedicated to synthetic psychedelics. The company received authorization to produce and sell psilocybin, psilocin, LSD, DMT, mescaline, and 2C-B through a Health Canada Dealer’s License. It has already established over 20 supply agreements with domestic and international companies 👏

Numinus Wellness (NUMI) is enrolling patients for a multi-site study on MDMA for PTSD, which will be sponsored by the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS). The study received approval from both Health Canada and the Institutional Ethics Review Board.

Eleusis, a UK-based company focused on psilocybin therapy for depression, is planning to go public through a $446M merger with Silver Spike Acquisition Corp. II (SPKB). Eleusis will apply to have its shares listed on the NASDAQ under the symbol ‘ELEU’.

Red Light Holland (TRIP) is collaborating with an advocacy group called the Psychedelic Medicine Alliance Washington to promote a bill that would legalize guided psilocybin sessions in Washington State. The company has hired a lobbyist with experience in cannabis regulation and is launching a social media campaign and educational events to raise awareness about the benefits of psilocybin.

Red Light Holland Psilocybin Truffles, Sold in The Netherlands, Complete Second Evaluation Under a Health Canada Approved cGMP Laboratory

Red Light Holland Psilocybin Truffles, Sold in The Netherlands, Complete Second Evaluation Under a Health Canada Approved cGMP Laboratory

Red Light Holland and CCrest Laboratories continue to demonstrate their strong commitment to the highest regulatory Health Canada compliance standards, as the two synergistic companies applaud, and are paying close attention to, Health Canada’s updated Special Access Program (SAP)

Toronto, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – January 6, 2022) – Red Light Holland Corp. (CSE: TRIP) (FSE: 4YX) (OTC Pink: TRUFF) (“Red Light Holland” or the “Company“), an Ontario-based corporation engaged in the production, growth and sale of a premium brand of magic truffles, is pleased to announce that it has received the second report, produced by Shaman Pharma Corp. and CCrest Laboratories Inc. under a Health Canada Controlled Drugs & Substances license. This report was focused on perfecting potency assays and identifying variables such as water content and size that might influence the amount and the characteristics determining active ingredients (psilocybin and psilocin) in the truffles as a step towards creating a standardized consistent dose from naturally occurring psychoactive truffles.

“We continue to move towards creating a standardized consistent dose from naturally occurring psilocybin truffles that can potentially benefit both the hopeful recreational and medicinal markets,” said Todd Shapiro, CEO and Director of Red Light Holland. “We are learning through market research and anecdotal movements that many people prefer naturally occurring psilocybin over synthetics – so it’s exciting that Red Light Holland with the help of Shaman Pharma are once again working aggressively within all legal means, and adding to the scientific knowledge of these natural products. We hope the Canadian Government will see the need to provide patients, who are approved to use natural psilocybin, with an ability to access our tested products of known dosage.”

“The progress we have made in the year 2021 was simply groundbreaking which positioned our companies to start this new year with incredible momentum. We look forward to continuing and expanding our collaboration with Red Light Holland.” said Alex Grenier, CEO of Shaman Pharma and President of CCrest Laboratories. “The timely news regarding the Special Access Program is in line with our expectations and we are fully committed to exceeding the exemplary regulatory standards put forward by Health Canada, hoping it will inspire the health authorities of other countries to follow without hesitation.”

Now that a precise and specific analysis method (SP1-173-L) has been determined next steps will be taken to test its robustness and accuracy. Other substances were also identified in the truffles and more bibliography will be needed to identify other alkaloid compounds that might be present in the truffles such as Norbaeocystin, Baeocystin and Aeruginascin which will help research the possibility of an “entourage effect” in naturally occurring truffles.

From the report, it can be inferred that the size is not affecting the concentrations of psilocybin and psilocin, but the water content is an essential factor. In the case of large-sized truffles (Galindoi and Tampanensis) removal of water content, without degrading psilocybin, is a challenging task which in turn affects the extract concentrations. It can be observed from these results that the laboratory was successfully able to bring the raw material to their anhydrous state while maintaining the same ratio of active ingredients.

Future analysis will also expand research using scientific methods applied in pharmaceutical drug development, for instance determining the exact influence of light on the degradation of psilocybin and psilocin by doing a forced degradation study, and performing stability studies under various conditions. These studies can illustrate the chemical stability of the molecule which further facilitates the development of stable experimental design and suitable storage conditions. This information will aid in the development of lab-scale production projects to provide practitioners with quality-controlled psilocybin for their patients.

On January 5, 2022, the Controlled Substances Directorate of Health Canada announced that amendments were published and came into force immediately to restore the possibility for practitioners who are allowed to prescribe drugs to request access to restricted drugs, including psilocybin, through Health Canada’s Special Access Program (SAP). With the regulations now amended, practitioners who are allowed to prescribe drugs can, on behalf of patients with serious or life-threatening conditions, request access to restricted drugs through the SAP when other therapies have failed, are unsuitable, or are not available in Canada, among other conditions.

While all SAP requests will continue to be assessed on a case-by-case basis, and there is no guarantee that access to restricted drugs will be granted through the SAP, this much anticipated step forward validates the importance of the work performed at CCrest Laboratories with psilocybin truffles from Red Light Holland. Canada is leading the way in providing practitioners with a path for patients to access psilocybin, and it is critical to make it readily available through a legal and quality-controlled supply chain, and that practitioners can rely on specific, precise and consistent dosage.

Red Light Holland continues to establish itself as a leader in the recreational sector and push for legal, responsible and safe access to natural psychedelic truffles/mushrooms while Scarlette Lillie Science and Innovation pursues research and development, technology, and applied science.

Want a life-changing psychedelic trip but don’t know where to start?: issue 26

Here’s what’s in store for you in today’s issue:

🍄 The cure for the worst pain known to humans

🍄 Combining antidepressants and psilocybin

🍄 More positive findings from biggest psilocybin trial

🍄 Psychedelic cream?

🍄 And more.

Be sure to check out this week’s Daily Mushroom podcast:

Why a psychedelic retreat might be the best vacation you’ve ever been on

In this episode of the Daily Mushroom Podcast, we have the CEO of Silo Wellness, Douglas Gordon. Silo Wellness offers legal, psychedelic retreats in Jamaica and Oregon. Their mission is heavily rooted in the education around the physical and mental benefits of mushrooms. We hope you enjoy this one!

Antidepressants + psilocybin

Do patients need to come off of antidepressants before trying psilocybin therapy?

New research from MindMed (MNMD) and Liechti Labs suggests that it’s not necessary – and there are actually benefits of combining the two.

Escitalopram (aka Lexapro) did not affect the way psilocybin was processed and helped reduce negative side effects like anxiety and high blood pressure.

More positive findings from biggest psilocybin trial

COMPASS Pathways (CMPS) announced additional findings from the world’s largest psilocybin trial for depression. 

In addition to reduced depression scores, patients showed improvements in anxiety, daily functioning, cognition, and quality of life. Just one day after the treatment, patients had increased positive feelings such as “interested, excited, strong” and decreased negative feelings like “distressed, upset, afraid.” 

Psychedelic cream

Psycheceutical Inc., a private Florida company, is developing a unique way to deliver psychedelics – through a cream or patch applied to the back of the neck. This method allows psychedelics to enter the brain in just 5-10 minutes without entering the bloodstream, which reduces negative side effects.

Participate in psychedelic research from your phone!

Quantified Citizen is a platform made in collaboration with Paul Stamets to accelerate health research. It allows anyone to participate in studies anonymously from their phone.

The platform was used to conduct the world’s largest mobile microdosing study, which revealed that microdosers exhibit lower levels of depression, anxiety, and stress.

It’s not too late to participate – download the app here to join the study!

Curing the worst pain known to humans

For years, Brad Badelt suffered from debilitating cluster headaches (which are often called “suicide headaches” and described as the worst pain known to humans.

After seeing countless neurologists, chiropractors, acupuncturists, and naturopaths, he would still experience the horrible headaches several times a day for weeks on end.

After taking one dose of shrooms, things finally changed. 

“When I woke the next morning, I felt different: the mental fog brought on by my cluster headaches was gone. For the next twelve months, I remained headache free. Every year since, I’ve downed a dose of shrooms, and every year my cluster headaches have remained in remission.”

The Canadian government is funding psychedelic research!

MYND Life Sciences (MYND) received $45,600 in government funding to support a psilocybin research project on treatment resistant depression and neuroinflammation. The project will run now until March 2022.

Novamind (NM) partnered with Bienstar Wellness to develop the first network of integrative mental health clinics in Latin America. The companies plan to bring psychedelic medicine to Uruguay, Brazil, Mexico, Peru, and Panama.

PharmaTher (PHRM) was granted a Japanese patent for KETBET, a combination of ketamine and betaine anhydrous that can be used for various mental health and pain disorders. Betaine anhydrous enhances the antidepressant effect of ketamine while reducing the side effects.

Telescope Innovations (TELI) acquired the rights to the University of British Columbia’s research on synthetic psilocybin in exchange for 1M common shares at $0.99 each.

Bright Minds Biosciences (DRUG) announced that its drug discovery program has synthesized hundreds of patentable psychedelic compounds. Researchers are optimizing the most encouraging molecules and aim to announce the lead molecule early next year.

Shanti Therapeutics, a subsidiary of Global Wellness (GWS), is awaiting ethics committee approval to conduct one of the first studies on MDMA for pain management.

Red Light Holland Reports Second Quarter 2021 Results

Company announces 56% increase in the number of stores selling its iMicrodose products in the Netherlands

Six-month revenues of $1,080,875

Toronto, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – November 29, 2021) – Red Light Holland Corp. (CSE: TRIP) (FSE: 4YX) (OTC Pink: TRUFF) (“Red Light Holland” or the “Company”), an Ontario-based corporation engaged in the production, growth, and sale of a premium brand of magic truffles, today reported its financial results for the three and six months ended September 30, 2021. Unless otherwise stated, all amounts are expressed in Canadian dollars. The Company is also pleased to announce a significant increase in the number of Smart Shop retail stores selling its iMicrodose products in the Netherlands.

Commenting on Red Light Holland’s second quarter performance, Todd Shapiro, Chief Executive Officer stated, “I am pleased with the progress that we have made during the second quarter. We were focused on iMicrodose and Maka product development with the goal of increasing future revenues and related margins. The quarter saw us close two important strategic acquisitions and continue to realize revenues and gross profit from our existing operations. Our acquisition of a majority interest in Acadian Exotic Mushrooms (AEM) is expected to commence significant revenue generation in March 2022. Increasing our revenue is a core focus and we continue to identify and analyze merger and acquisition transactions while remaining cautious with our spending habits.”

With regards to the increased store presence in the Netherlands, Hans Derix, Red Light Holland President, added “We have increased the number of stores that sell our iMicrodose psychedelic products from 25 to 39 (a 56% increase) in the Netherlands. This is a significant increase in market presence that was completed under the backdrop of retail pressure attributed to the continuing global pandemic. We have also developed and launched a newly branded Maka line of products. As a result of these efforts, we expect increased revenue related to psychedelic products and functional mushroom products in the coming quarters.”

Sarah Hashkes, Red Light Holland’s CTIO added, “Rec and Tech is Red Light Holland’s core focus. We have seen a strong increase in privacy first data collection with our iMicrodose end consumers in the Netherlands via our iMicro App. Our Tele-counseling support remains a phenomenal option and we are also thrilled to have entered into a ‘mold making stage agreement’ with Hotopfun factory in China to continue to build out Wisdom smart home devices, inspired by the mycelium network, in preparation for mass manufacturing Q1 of 2022. Red Light Holland continues to execute its strategic initiatives and we are proud of our unique and innovative technology and their alternative revenue streams.”

SUMMARY OF THE QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2021

  • Completed the acquisition of a 51% interest in Acadian Exotic Mushrooms Ltd (AEM), a Canadian gourmet mushroom production facility co-owned by leading Canadian mushroom farming groups.
  • Completed the acquisition to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Mera Life Sciences LLC, a company permitted to perform research, cultivation, production, development, extraction, import and export, and clinical treatment facilities with prescribed patient access in St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
  • Completed Canada’s largest legal sale and import of psilocybe truffles into Canada under a Health Canada approved Psilocybin Import Permit. The Company sold 1.5 kg to CCrest Laboratories Inc., a cGMP pharmaceutical laboratory in Montreal, Canada.
  • Generated revenues of $485,738 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 resulting in gross profit of $156,970, an increase of $61,240 (or 64.0%) over the previously reported quarter.
  • Continued balance sheet strength including cash in the amount of $29.1 million.

Both the Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis for the three and six months ended September 30, 2021 are now available on SEDAR.
