+Added: our amalgamation with MagicMed completed in September 2021 (the “Amalgamation”), we have continued to pursue the development
+Added: of MagicMed’s proprietary psychedelic derivatives library, the Psybrary™ which we believe will help us to identify and develop
+Added: the right drug candidates needed to address mental health challenges, including anxiety.
+Added: We synthesize novel versions
+Added: of classic psychedelics, such as psilocybin, N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT), mescaline and MDMA, using a mixture of chemistry and synthetic
+Added: biology, resulting in the expansion of the Psybrary™, which includes 15 patent families with over a million potential variations
+Added: and hundreds of synthesized molecules.
+Added: Within the Psybrary™ we have three different types of molecules, Generation 1 (classic psychedelics),
+Added: Generation 2 (pro-drugs), and Generation 3 (new chemical entities).
+Added: The Company is working to add novel psychedelic molecular compounds
+Added: and derivatives (“Psychedelic Derivatives”) on a regular basis through our work at Enveric Labs in Calgary, Alberta, Canada,
+Added: where we have a team of PhD scientists with expertise in synthetic biology and chemistry.
+Added: To date we have created over 500 molecules
+Added: that are housed in the Psybrary™.
+Added: screen newly synthesized molecules in the Psybrary™ through PsyAI™, a proprietary artificial intelligence (AI) tool.
+Added: AI systems is expected to reduce the time and cost of pre-clinical, clinical, and commercial development.
+Added: We believe it streamlines pharmaceutical
+Added: design by predicting ideal binding structures of molecules, manufacturing capabilities, and pharmacological effects to help determine
+Added: ideal drug candidates, tailored to each indication.
+Added: Each of these molecules that we believe are patentable can then be further screened
+Added: to see how changes to its makeup alter its effects in order to synthesize additional new molecules.
+Added: New compounds of sufficient purity
+Added: are undergoing pharmacological screening, including non-clinical (receptors/cell lines), preclinical (animal), and ultimately clinical

+Added: developing our product candidates, we intend to focus on cannabinoids derived from non-hemp botanical sources, and synthetic materials
+Added: containing no tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in order to comply with U.S.
+Added: federal regulations.
+Added: Of the potential cannabinoids to be used in
+Added: therapeutic formulations, THC, which is responsible for the psychoactive properties of marijuana, can result in undesirable mood effects.
+Added: Selected cannabidiol (CBD) and cannabigerol (CBG) candidates, on the other hand, have amounts of THC well below 0.1% and are not psychotropic
+Added: and therefore more attractive candidates for translation into therapeutic practice.
+Added: Drugs with less than 0.1% THC have a history, when
+Added: approved as drugs by FDA, of being able to be rescheduled by DEA from Schedule I to Schedule V, as in the case of Epidiolex and Marinol.
+Added: In the future, we may utilize cannabinoids that are derived from cannabis plants, which may contain higher amounts of THC;
+Added: only intend to do so in jurisdictions where THC is legal.
+Added: However, synthetic THC is a Schedule I controlled substance;
+Added: so, the use of
+Added: any APIs (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients) containing synthetic THC (or naturally derived THC in concentrations greater than 0.3%)
+Added: may increase regulatory scrutiny and require additional expenses and authorizations.
+Added: All current and future product candidates that we
+Added: are developing or may develop will be tested for safety and efficacy under an IND application and subject to the Food and Drug Administration
+Added: (“FDA”) pre-market approval process for new drugs.
