They’re targeted at an industry – mental healthcare – that’s overdue for innovation.
Early indications from clinical research say it could, as Fortune Magazine says, “revolutionize mental health care.”
The research shows using medicinal psychedelics in a clinical setting can have a profoundly positive effect on mental health.
and an early investor in Bitcoin and dozens of other tech giants, has backed two medicinal psychedelics companies.
And after raising more than $100 million in an Initial Public Offering (IPO) in October 2020 to accelerate its research, Compass Pathways has a market value of more than
The company just raised $125 million from some of the world’s most notable venture capitalists.
If it follows the same route as Compass Pathways, it will IPO in 2021 at a value well above

And it has soared in value this year. Today it's worth

The best opportunity is looking to be in the small upstarts within medicinal psychedelics.
Mind Cure is a mental health and wellness company focused on identifying, developing and commercializing products that enhance mental health and wellness, ease suffering and increase productivity in the midst of global mental health crisis.

The company completed its IPO in September of 2020 and has been rapidly expanding with a focus on the five largest subsectors of the medicinal psychedelics market.
Clinical Research
Mind Cure will be in position take the information it learns from customer feedback, academic research, and other sources and apply investigate to clinical research for the eventual development and targeting of new product candidates.
The company recently took a big step towards developing this high-potential business secment too.
Mind Cure recently announced it was going to open a psychedelics treatment clinic in 2021.
The location will be in the psychedelics industry-friendly Canadian province of British Columbia.
According to the announcement, the Kelowna, B.C. location “will offer psychedelic-assisted mental health therapy to patients as well as training to therapists.”
This is a big step forward for a company like Mind Cure and has the potential to establish a template for success in an industry with so much growth potential.
Digital Therapeutics Technology
Clinical biotech researchers will tell you one of the biggest problems in researching and developing treatments of any kind for mental health is tracking and measurement of the efficacy of the treatment.
Mind Cure has developed user-friendly software to much more actively that targeted at solving that problem.
Formulation and Supply
Mind Cure is currently investigating and developing potential plans including the capital requirements, economics, and timelines for manufacturing, importing, and supplying traditional and novel psychoactive compounds (NPS).
These could include: LSD, NPS’s, MDMA, esketamine, Psilocybin DMT
Nootropic Formulations
Mind Cure has targeted nootropics as a place to stake out a share of the massive global nutritional health industry.
A nootropic is a drug or supplement used to enhance cognitive function and fit right into Mind Cure’s aggressive growth strategy.
Mind Cure’s products will be a functional mushroom powder sold under the Moombeam brand. Within the Moonbeam brand there will be targeted products offering specific benefits to consumers with Moonbeam Energy, Focus, and Protection types and we be a quick path to revenues.
Mind Cure has targeted broad range of outlets for distribution throughout the U.S and Canada.
The Company has received its Canadian Health Product Authorization Numbers (HPN) s, which authorizes the sale of natural products like functional mushrooms and will be ramping up sales efforts through multiple channels.
The first physical distribution point is through Body Energy Club franchises. The Body Energy Club has 17 locations in Canada and the United States.
After that, Mind Cure has announced it will be targeting online sales and distribution directly to consumers and through Amazon, Google Shopping, eBay, Bonanza, and Walmart Marketplace.
The total market for just the functional mushrooms is
$23 billion per year and growing.
In the end,
Mind Cure is a company structured in a way to ride the psychedelics boom in multiple ways.
For investors though, the potential opportunity in Mind Cure has an extra advantage over the multi-billion-dollar success stories like Compass Pathways and Mind Medicine we mentioned above.
The Math Of An Exponential Growth Opportunity
For investors, Mind Cure’s advantage is its current valuation.
Mind Cure shares were trading at the start of December 2020 at a price of C$0.60 (about US$0.45) each.
The company has total shares outstanding of just under 55 million shares.
So even though Mind Cure shares have TRIPLED from the IPO placement price of C$0.20 per share, the company has a market cap of just
C$33 million ($25 million).
Relative to Compass Pathways ($2 billion) and Mind Medicine ($1.6 billion), Mind Cure has a lot more room to grow from this point.
Based on these comparables, there is exponential growth potential from here.
And the wind is still at the back of medicinal psychedelics startups too.
The Rise Of Psychedelic-Derived Treatments
In the last few years top medical researchers have rediscovered the positive effects of Psychoactives and the healing power of psychedelics.
Consider a recent article from the Wall Street Journal – the investors paper of record. It reported that this new class of psychedelic-based drugs “can help alleviate depression, anxiety and addiction.”

Fortune magazine – another seminal source for investors looking to maximize their returns – declared, “Psychedelic drugs may revolutionize mental health care.”
10
And NBC News recently proclaimed, “Therapeutic ‘trips’ may someday bring relief from addiction, anxiety, depression — and even the fear of death.”
11
And its not just the press either.
Academia is also fully on board. Top researchers at Yale, Johns Hopkins, University of North Carolina,
12 and many other top universities worldwide are paving the way forward for an entirely new class of drugs that can change the way we live, how well we live – and how long we live.
The U.S. government has even started researching the remarkable power of psychedelics.
In June of 2020 the Department of Defense’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) announced it would invest $26.9 million into researching medicinal applications for psychedelic drugs.
DARPA said its psychedelics research “aims to create new medications to effectively and rapidly treat depression, anxiety, and substance abuse without major side effects.”
13
The rise of psychedelics is here.
There are years of growth ahead and, if psychedelics are as disruptive as some of the world’s top investors believe, there is exponential potential for early investors.
That’s where
Mind Cure (OTC: MCURF | CSE: MCUR) comes in because it’s just starting its growth trajectory.
Digital Therapeutics Industry Growth Forecast
The pace of digital therapeutics adoption is accelerating beyond earlier forecasts.
Digital Therapeutics are the new frontier in healthcare technology and have been a steadily-rising force within the healthcare sector.
The Digital Therapeutics Alliance defines them as “evidence-based therapeutic interventions to patients that are driven by high quality software programs to prevent, manage, or treat a broad spectrum of physical, mental, and behavioral conditions.”
Their increasingly proven potential as a better, more efficient, and more effective treatment option for the most costly and complex chronic physical and mental health conditions makes their broad adoption almost inevitable at this point.
The investor community is now waking up to the potential of Digital Therapeutics.
Last year investments in healthcare startups hit
$32.49 billion in a record total of 1,414 deals according to Silicon Valley Bank.
McKinsey notes the potential of Digital Therapeutics being realized by investors when it reported,
“Investors’ enthusiasm mirrors the growing demand for digital-therapeutic products and tools across the healthcare ecosystem.”
Mind Cure Enters Digital Therapeutics:
Mind Cure Health (OTC: MCURF | CSE: MCUR) recently
announced it will be one of the newest entrants into Digital Therapeutics.
Mind Cure is a mental health and wellness company focused on identifying, developing and commercializing products that enhance mental health and wellness, ease suffering and increase productivity in the midst of global mental health crisis.

described as, “a proprietary cloud-based digital therapeutics platform for treating mental health.”
The company has been used by more than 10,000 patients over the last 20 years.

Consider Investing In Psychedelics Now
In the end, the entire opportunity in medicinal psychedelics is a simple one.
The mental health care industry is long overdue for major innovation.
Anti-depressants, many developed in the middle of the last century, have consistently proven to not be the most effective treatments or even possibly counterproductive in many cases.
Psychedelics have the potential to be the disruptive force that shakes up the entire mental health sector.
And now novel psychedelic treatments have attracted the financial backing of some of the biggest money investors in the world and can truly advance clinical research in psychedelics targeted at the most promising solutions.
That final change – the surge of capital and investor awareness – has changed everything for all facets of the psychedelics industry.
Companies like
Mind Cure (OTC: MCURF | CSE: MCUR) may be positioned to ride the psychedelics boom all the way to the top too.
All the best,
