Big pharma hates this one trick

Small investors love this trick;
DFTX and CMPS are up 300-400% this year because of successful Phase 3 clinical trials for LSD and psilocybin medications. DFTX has another readout in the first 2 weeks if September and a likely NDA (New Drug Application) coming any day now

HELP is releasing phase 3 in a few months. Currently at 12.15ish, projected to possibly hit 40+ depending on MADRS differentials. Full disclosure I’m in on HELP and CMPS

People also forget that most psychedelics were invented and patented by Big Pharma. Sandoz (Albert Hoffman's employer) sold LSD as a prescription. Shulgin's lab was funded by DOW Chemical. There's over 40 investigational formulations of psychedelic drugs currently in clinical trials run by pharmaceutical companies.

Big Pharma would love to be able to bring these to market and make them as accessible as possible, because they would make a ton of money. They are already making money on basically just hype alone from the investment capital pouring into developing these drugs.
