Netflix recently launched a new series featuring Gwyneth Paltrow called The Goop Lab, and the season kicked off with episode one focused on psilocybin and psychedelic research for health and healing. In the episode, Paltrow's team collaborated with the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS).

Multiple films have also been released to tremendous accolades including Fantastic Fungi (released August 30, 2019), which showcases fungi's power to heal, sustain and contribute to the regeneration of life on Earth. Another film, Dosed (released December 14, 2019), was filmed in Vancouver and focuses on a woman overcoming serious addiction with the help of psychedelics.

Renowned author Michael Pollan's book, How to Change Your Mind (released May 15, 2018) became a #1 New York Times bestseller. The book focused on the investigation into the medical and scientific revolution taking place around psychedelic drugs and the story of his own life-changing psychedelic experiences.

Joe Rogan, the celebrated comedian and personality, has also touted the benefits of mushrooms, both medicinal and psychedelic, on multiple episodes of his show.

"Awareness is growing, not just here in Canada but on the international stage - driven partly by the increased media attention on all of these fronts, but ultimately by the health results that people have achieved with the support of psychedelics," said Yield Growth CEO Penny White. "The public is working to push this agenda forward, and legislators are taking notice."

The issue has even made it onto the ballot and the state of Oregon will vote in 2020 on whether to legalize psilocybin.

"Our team at Flourish is working closely with leaders who are part of this movement and laying the groundwork to serve this industry. We are starting with non-psychedelic, medicinal mushroom coffee and soup, and hope to move into offering psilocybin-based products as well," added White.

Flourish has already achieved several key milestones including:

• application for the use of psychedelic mushroom actives for weight loss.

• with Acres Agricultural Canada Corp. to jointly form a company in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines to build a laboratory for the cultivation of and research and development into compounds and therapeutic use of psychedelic mushrooms.

• to acquire approximately 18% of Translational Life Sciences Inc., which aims to develop proprietary formulations using restricted substances to focus on unmet medical needs in opioid dependence, psychotic illness, pain management and traumatic brain injury, including concussion. The company also offers services to design and oversee clinical trials of restricted substances such as psilocybin based formulations for third parties.
