We’re happy to welcome back a return guest to Plant Prophets. He is a seasoned Canadian capital markets executive with experience in building and managing public companies in emerging industries. He runs researching and developing new ways of distilling and purifying mushrooms in order to harness their healing properties.

The first product from Psyched Wellness, Stevens told High Times, is slated to be a tincture made from Amanita muscaria, likely “the most recognized mushroom in the world. If you think of Alice in Wonderland, Super Mario Brothers, even the emoji on your telephone is likely an Amanita.”

Another Canadian company is positioning itself to be ready to offer consumer products manufactured from psychotropic fungus. Dubbed Psyched Wellness, the firm is preparing to file a listing statement with regulators this week and hopes to be trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange by this summer, according to CEO Jeff Stevens.
