Psyence Group Completes Export of Psilocybin Mushrooms to Canada
September 22 2022 - 6:00AM
Psyence Group Inc. (CSE: PSYG | OTCQB: PSYGF)
(“
Psyence” or the “
Company”) has
successfully exported psilocybin mushrooms to Psilo Scientific Ltd.
in Canada. Psilo Scientific, a wholly owned subsidiary of Filament
Health Corp., is an exclusively natural psychedelic drug discovery
and extraction company.
Psyence received a Health Canada import permit obtained by Psilo
Scientific in March 2022. The psilocybin mushrooms have now been
received at Psilo Scientific’s facility in Metro Vancouver, British
Columbia, Canada. The mushrooms will be used by Psilo Scientific
for analysis and extraction and then evaluated for compatibility in
Filament’s drug development process.
“This export is right on target with our goal of becoming a
trusted, commercial supplier of psilocybin mushrooms for the legal,
global medical market and medical research market,” says
Dr. Neil Maresky, Psyence Chief Executive Officer.
“Our team has spent a considerable amount of time ensuring that we
meet all the stringent requirements for the export and import of
psilocybin.”
Psyence operates one of the first federally licensed commercial
psilocybin production facilities in the world. Its production
facility, located in Southern Africa, is ISO22000 certified and is
licensed to cultivate and export psilocybin mushrooms for the
legal, global medical market and commercial medical research
market. Psyence’s cultivation system is designed for continuous
harvesting and an on-site laboratory was recently added to provide
in-process analysis and extraction.
“We are incredibly proud of our production team and facility who
have exceeded our expectations with regards to the construction,
cultivation and certification of a world-class facility that has
proven it is ready to supply raw materials into the legal
psilocybin research arena globally,” says Tony Budden,
Psyence Chief Strategy Officer.
