psychedelic

The damage done by the opioid epidemic has caused families grief and loss, but recent developments in the case against Purdue Pharma will see some restitution for the family. A potential $10 billion will be going toward fighting the opioid crisis that killed upward of 500,000 Americans in the past two decades. The Sackler family that owns Purdue Pharma will forfeit ownership of Purdue Pharma and pay $4.5 billion for the damage done by opioids like its best-selling Oxycontin. Fortunately, a new flock of companies is upending the traditional view of medicine by providing psychedelic treatments into their research and opening clinics to treat patients. Companies like Revitalist Lifestyle and Wellness Ltd. (CSE:CALM), Atai Life Sciences N.V. (NASDAQ:ATAI), Cybin (NYSE:CYBN), Seelos Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:SEEL) and Tonix Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:TNXP) are researching, developing, and bringing to market new treatments in order to avoid the mistakes of the past.
