Psychedelics: New Frontiers in Alternative Medicine | vol. 5 no. 5 cannabissciencetech.com 18 feature / processing/manufacturing Mass Production Our objective is to develop a pro- duction facility model that can work across borders and in low, medium, and high output settings. We want to model facilities that are neither space nor power intensive. Our additional goal is to utilize and provide effective, commonly available equipment that can be sourced anywhere in the world new, used, or on a leased-basis. This supports our goal of model portability and product affordability. Marketing and Communications Too often, marketing and communi- cations is an afterthought in psyche- delics. That's a mistake we will not make. We are actively involved in creating product narratives that will resonate well in the earned, owned, and paid media spaces. Conclusion In summary, we believe we have outlined a sophisticated, efficacious, yet highly portable model that can be transferred across states and country borders. Given adherence to this model the goal of producing convenient, accu- rately dosed, highly bioavailable, safe, good tasting, and affordable psilocybin is achievable. We are excited about the prospect of building this valuable and important market with high standards, sound thinking, and care.

I wish to see the documented use and efficacy of ayuasca in schizophrenia. Lastly, I would like to see addition- al research and publication of more scientific data of African psychedelic iboga in treatment of substance abuse disorders. Q: Is there anything else you'd like to add? A: Woodman: For psychedelic therapy to be a success and "re-integrate" its way into medicine and society, more focus needs to be given to finding cost efficient ways of manufac- turing psychedelic therapies to provide equal affordable access to all. Psyche- delic use among African people, including for mental health, needs to be destigmatized globally through awareness and education. More empha- sis needs to be placed on set and setting, and on setting up global training centers for specialists who wish to administer psychedelic therapies. Pharmaceutical organiza- tions will need to collaborate closely with government institutions, regulato- ry authorities, research organizations, leading experts, and universities to ensure that the education, incorpora- tion, ethical use, and accessibility of psychedelic medicines into a country will benefit its people in both private and public setting and that the necessary infrastructures are in place to support both patients and healthcare providers alike.
