2023-05-19

Lucy Scientific Discovery Inc.(“Lucy” or “the Company”) (NASDAQ: LSDI), a Nasdaq-listed licensed producer of compounds for medicinal products, is pleased to announce a partnership with TheraPsil to advance medical psilocybin access and research.

TheraPsil is a prominent non-profit organization that advocates for legal, compassionate access to psilocybin therapy for Canadians in medical need. TheraPsil supports patients with their applications for ministerial approval of psilocybin for medical purposes and connects approved patients with qualified practitioners to receive psilocybin-assisted therapy treatment. TheraPsil has been advocating for compassionate access since 2019.

The collaboration between Lucy and TheraPsil marks a significant milestone in expanding legal access to psilocybin for Canadian patients experiencing end-of-life distress and other serious medical conditions. Building upon TheraPsil's visionary initiative, Project Solace, the partnership aims to provide compassionate care while collecting real-world data to support the effectiveness and safety of psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy.

In addition to facilitating patient access, this pioneering partnership will enable Lucy to introduce a suite of natural psilocybin products into the Canadian market. This strategic move will not only allow Lucy to gain valuable early consumer feedback but also build brand recognition in Canada, a first-mover country for psychedelic compounds, potentially attracting attention from around the globe.

Chris McElvany, Chief Executive Officer of Lucy Scientific Discovery Inc., expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, "We are thrilled to collaborate with TheraPsil, as it provides us with a unique opportunity to bring natural psilocybin products to market in Canada. By leveraging TheraPsil's expertise and our shared commitment to patient well-being, we aim to gain valuable insights, build brand recognition, and positively impact the lives of individuals seeking alternative therapies."

"Canadians are in urgent need of compassionate access to psilocybin," said TheraPsil CEO Spencer Hawkswell. "Having Lucy join the project is going to help thousands of patients connect with doctors and therapists who will be able to support their SAP exemptions to help them access psilocybin. We’re excited to work with Lucy Scientific and applaud their support of patients seeking access to psilocybin."

The Company expects that by combining the extensive resources, knowledge, and industry leadership of Lucy Scientific Discovery Inc. and TheraPsil, this collaboration is poised to make significant contributions to the field of psychedelic medicine. Together, the organizations will drive innovation, foster scientific research, and improve patient outcomes in the realm of psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy.
