Silo Wellness CEO Sees Market Traction for Psychedelic Healing

If recent social media and news trends are any indication, psychedelics-based healing may increasingly be getting into mainstream consciousness, according to Silo Wellness (CSE:SILO,OTCQB:SILFF) CEO and Founder Mike Arnold.

“If you just look at the conversations out in public or on social media, and compare that to news articles about this particular space, about psychedelic healing, you'll see an exponential increase since 2018. And you have more and more people being exposed, which means more and more people are feeling something they haven't felt for a really long time, or maybe ever,” Arnold said.

Silo Wellness offers luxury psychedelic retreats in Jamaica. These retreats are supervised by healthcare practitioners — including a doctorate of nursing and a pharmacologist — who are involved in the process from the beginning of a participant’s journey, Arnold explained.
