Psychedelic substances are attracting interest from both the scientific community and investors alike. Psilocybin (the chemical in psychedelic mushrooms), lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), and ketamine all have the potential to treat a range of conditions, including anxiety, depression, addiction, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

The National Institute of Mental Health estimates that 16.2 million U.S. adults had at least one major depressive episode in 2016. This represents 6.7 percent of the U.S. adult population. Depression is most common in ages 18 to 25 (10.9 percent) and in individuals belonging to two or more races (10.5 percent). Clinical depression is treatable. Though, according to the WHO, less than 50 percent of those worldwide with depression receive treatment. The most common treatment methods are medications and psychological counseling.

Many individuals prefer naturally occurring remedies, opposed to those man-made in a lab. In fact, a recent study conducted by OnePoll on behalf of Remedy Review found half of Americans have turned to a natural remedy to treat an ailment, rather than a prescription medication, according to new research. Results found nearly three-quarters of respondents believe natural remedies – such as cannabis, marijuana or hemp – are safer than prescription medicines. 

Some of the major companies currently working in the global psychedelic drugs market are COMPASS, The Emmes Company, LLC, Klarisana, AstraZeneca, F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd, Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories Ltd, Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited, Pfizer Inc., Mylan N.V., Merck and Co., Inc., Alkermes, ALLERGAN, H. Lundbeck A/S among others.
