Together, they discuss the mushroom's unique pharmacology, Psyched Wellness' multi-year path through Health Canada's safety testing, and the broader implications for the future of functional fungi. Paul also explores the tension between innovation and regulation, as Jeff and David share insights from operating in the gray area between supplements and psychedelics.

  • Why Health Canada approval took three years
  • How Psyched Wellness rebranded a controversial mushroom
  • What separates Amanita from psilocybin
