Clinical trials on psychedelic therapies are now underway in some of North America’s most prestigious universities including Yale and John Hopkins. Psychedelics have also recently garnered a tremendous amount of mainstream media interest with outlets such as Forbes and CNN focusing on the growing popular use and medical research of hallucinogens. According to researchers, psychedelic drugs are showing promise as therapeutics in a resurgence of clinical research during the past 10 years (See The Lancet Psychiatry, Vol 3 Issue 5, May 2016)
The inaugural PsyTech Summit will take place March 29-30, 2020 at the Hilton Hotel, on the Mediterranean Sea in Tel Aviv, Israel.

This transaction puts us on the forefront of this fast-developing therapeutic ecosystem as one of the first public companies to participate in this sector.” Mr. Kaplan continued, “After decades of stigma, psychedelics are the next therapeutic frontier. We believe the sector is about to explode as a wave of new information, research and consumer interest about psychedelics floods the market. Our goal is to be there to capitalize on it for our shareholders.”
“There is a tremendous amount of renewed research interest in LSD, MDMA, Ketamine and psilocybin for the potential treatment of mental health disease and symptoms, including depression, anxiety disorders, and PTSD,” said iCAN Founder, Saul Kaye. “PsyTech brings the biggest names in the industry together to make deals, find new opportunities, and propel the global psychedelic medication conversation.
