VIDEO - Numinus Execs: No Quick Pathway for Psychedelics

Investors should know that there isn’t a quick pathway to build out the psychedelics market, one CEO in the industry told the Investing News Network (INN).

“To be able to build something robust that’s solid and is able to make change, it has to take time,” Payton Nyquvest, chairman and CEO of Numinus Wellness (TSXV:NUMI), said alongside Stacey Wallin, chief strategy officer at the company. “There’s no quick pathway to be able to do this.”

Nyquvest and Wallin, co-founders of the psychedelics and cannabis company, spoke to INN about company’s pathway and the time this new industry will require to reach its potential.

In June, the firm created a scientific advisory board designed to help shape various elements of the company. Chaired by Dr. Evan Wood, Numinus chief medical officer, this group has been tasked with exploring the potential of psychedelic medicines.

“The council will work with company leadership to drive Numinus forward and engage policy makers and legislators to create the conditions where psychedelic therapies can be considered and advanced,” said Dr. Wood in a press release at the time.

Earlier this year, Numinus obtained a critical license from Health Canada granting it the option to research psilocybin extracted from mushrooms. The firm plans to develop a proprietary extraction method that it hopes will be used in collaboration with leading researchers.

Wallin told INN Numinus has focused on the delivery method for what a potential successful psychotherapy model will be.
