Optimi Health Corp. (CSE: OPTI) (OTCQX: OPTHF) (FRA: 8BN), a homegrown, Canadian company producing natural, scalable, and accessible psychedelic and functional mushrooms, as well as synthetic formulations for transformational human experiences, is pleased to announce that it has entered into a supply agreement with SABI Mind, a Calgary-based clinic group providing psychedelic-assisted therapies.
The Company has signed an agreement which will provide SABI Mind’s trained clinical staff with supplies of GMP psilocybin and 3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (“MDMA”), pending the anticipated approval of its previously announced licensing amendment, for use by practitioners in psychedelic-assisted therapeutic protocols with approved patients via Health Canada’s Special Access Program, clinical trials, and academic studies.
“This agreement is an important step forward for both parties,” “SABI Mind’s initiation of this agreement demonstrates a commitment to safe supply for the development and implementation of therapeutic modalities using psilocybin and MDMA.”
Optimi Health CEO Bill Ciprick
Clinical distribution is a major milestone in the growth of Canada’s psychedelics sector from the standpoints both of business operations, and as a medical option for those in need.
“There’s growing evidence that MDMA and psilocybin assisted therapies can help treat PTSD, depression and other chronic mental health conditions,” said Philippe Lucas PhD, SABI Mind President. “We’re very pleased to be working with Optimi to ensure a safe, consistent supply of psilocybin and MDMA to SABI patients qualifying under Health Canada’s Special Access Program.”
“As we continue to establish the logistical channels of our new industry, Optimi is extremely gratified to receive requests such as this,” added Ciprick. “The knowledge that the substances we produce, natural or synthetic, will be used by patients in a safe environment to further psychedelic science is a vindication of the principles on which this company was established.”
Optimi Health recently requested an amendment to its Controlled Substance Dealer’s Licence from Health Canada which would enable it to utilize its state-of-the-art analytical laboratory for the production of synthetic MDMA, among other substances.
SABI Mind currently operates a best-in-class clinic in the Sunalta area of Calgary, with expansions planned into Edmonton, Alberta and Victoria, British Columbia.
Authorized parties interested in purchasing Optimi psilocybin and functional mushroom products, MDMA, or other synthetic psychedelics are invited to contact sales@optimihealth.ca where a member of the sales team will respond within 24 hours.
