Green Market Report Releases Psychedelic Trend Report, Furthering Footprint in Movement

Driven by the leadership of our CEO and founder, Debra Borchardt, Green Market Report is pleased to release the industry’s first psychedelic industry trend report, Trends in Psychedelic Investing, which takes a deep-dive into the emerging movement and the investments and companies to watch behind it.

Our publication had been slowly inching into the emerging psychedelics movement over the last year, profiling various companies such as Orthogonal Thinker and Field Trip Ventures while examining some of the emerging research and perspectives in psychedelics. At the same time, we began creating spaces and occasions for people of the movement to come together to talk about the business of psychedelics, which includes companies that promote and work within the potential of “novel molecules” found in psilocybin (psilocin), DMT, ketamine, MDMA and other substances that are classified as “psychedelic”. 

This past January, Green Market Report hosted the first-ever Psychedelics Summit on the emerging market in New York City. This sold-out event demonstrated the eagerness to grow the psychedelics industry, inspiring the 9-page, 3,500-word Trends in Psychedelic Investing report, which can be downloaded at greenmarketreport.com/reports.

Green Market Report has been the cannabis industry’s central news source on the business and money of cannabis since 2017; our community of reporters covers the global cannabis business, and important initiatives and movements as they unfold. 

As the psychedelics industry and the changing legislation towards certain compounds such as psilocybin develops, we’re observing that many psychedelics pioneers are growing from, or taking their learning from the cannabis industry, making it a natural avenue for our publication. Alongside this, there is growing evidence that psilocybin and other psychedelic compounds will be decriminalized or legalized as more evidence supports the potential benefits of psychedelic-assisted therapies. 

“We have heard from our readers at Green Market Report that there is a great deal of interest in this emerging field of psychedelics and the companies that are leading the way,” said founder Borchardt, “We’re also seeing that some cannabis investors are adding psychedelic investments to their portfolios. As we tried to research this industry, we found that information was lacking, and that is what prompted us to hold our Summit and write this report.”

Trends in Psychedelic Investing takes readers behind the 1960s psychedelics movement led by Timothy Leary and Richard Alpert (later known as Ram Dass) with the advent of the controversial Harvard Psilocybin Project. The report brings us through the journey of the legal status of psychedelics through the decades, with the recent resurgence of the movement gaining steam in the early 2000s. Groups like MAPS (Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies) began sponsoring studies that look at the efficacy of psilocybin for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. 

The report importantly points out that unlike cannabis, the recreational psychedelics market is relatively small in comparison to the discovered medical and psychological potentials of these compounds. 

The report references several companies within the psychedelics space that are ones to watch as they engage in multi-million capital raises and advance psychedelics research. These companies include Mind Medicine Inc, which anticipates being the first publicly-traded psychedelics pharmaceuticals company; Atai Life Sciences, which is examining psychedelics alongside rapid-acting antidepressant (RAAD) drugs; Eleusis Ltd, which is researching serotonin agonists; Field Trip, which is starting with ketamine therapies; Green Sky Strategies LLC, which is looking at therapeutic adaptogens along with the potentials of microdosing; and Back of the Yards Algae, concerned with developing a safe, sustainable supply of psilocybin that demonstrates good laboratory practice.

Trends in Psychedelic Investing concludes with an important acknowledgment from Green Market Report: unlike the “green rush” that prompted many to pursue cannabis to get rich quick, the investors who are in psychedelics are in it to stay. While we have been excited to see the cannabis movement push forward as the value of cannabinoids is realized, we have every reason to believe that with psychedelics, we are on the brink of a medical revolution.

Stay tuned to Green Market Report’s section on Psychedelics as we continue to release emerging news about this exciting new movement. Our next event on Psychedelic Investing will be held on July 29th in San Francisco. Details will be released soon.
