Psychedelics Market Forecast: Top Trends for Psychedelics in 2025

The psychedelics investment landscape enters 2025 on a complex path marked by both progress and setbacks.

While the US Food and Drug Association (FDA) continues to support research into the therapeutic potential of psychedelics, translating promising findings into approved treatments and accessible care is proving challenging.

This is evident in the recent legislative failures in Massachusetts and California, where initiatives aimed at expanding legal access to psychedelics were met with resistance.
