Psychedelic Stocks Continue To Decline In May

psychedelic stocks

Companies we cover in our Psychedelic Compounds-Based Drug Stocks Index are clinical-stage startups still in the product research and development of novel compounds with no products and no revenue and requiring a great deal of money to fund their R&D expenses. 

There are 100 psychedelic and marijuana drug companies in the clinical stages of research and development of treatments for a wide variety of mental illnesses, of which 40 are based on the use of marijuana THC, and 60 (see here) based on the use of one or more of 10 different psychedelic substances (read 10 Psychedelic Substances And The 36 Companies Researching Them).

A Word of Caution

As I mentioned in the introduction, and it is worth repeating, most psychedelic companies are clinical-stage startups still in the product research and development of novel compounds, have no products, have no revenue and require a great deal of money to fund their R&D expenses so do your own in-depth due diligence and, hopefully, the information provided above information will help you arrive at a prudent investment decision.
