Mind Medicine is only the second company in the psychedelics industry to trade on the NASDAQ index, joining a U.K. based firm called Compass Pathways (NASDAQ:CMPS). The psychedelics market utilizes such drugs as LSD, MDMA, and psilocybin, the active hallucinogenic ingredient that is found in certain species of mushrooms. Unlike the cannabis industry, psychedelics are aimed at helping people deal with crippling forms of depression and other mental health issues, as well as a method of treating addiction issues. There are some barriers to entry for Mind Medicine as clinical trials and FDA approval still needs to be obtained for many of its treatments, as well as state and federal legalization to use these drugs.
MNMD Stock news
Perhaps not surprisingly, Mind Medicine has quickly become a favorite among day traders from the r/WallStreetBets Reddit group. The power of the community caused the short squeeze event in January that saw stocks like GameStop (NYSE:GME) and AMC (NYSE:AMC) reach incredible price levels. Could this be in store for Mind Medicine as well? It’s early in the game but Mind Medicine could be one of the first movers in an industry that is just getting off the ground.
