The Miracle Compound Tackling A Trillion Dollar Crisis

NEW YORK, May 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, the world seeing the beginning of the next great biotech boom... and it has nothing to do with COVID-19. Thanks to new laws sweeping the United States, there might be a groundbreaking new opportunity building for companies like Havn Life (HAVN; HAVLF).  Mentioned in today's commentary includes: Tilray, Inc. (NASDAQ: TLRY), Cronos Group Inc. (NASDAQ: CRON), Aurora Cannabis Inc. (NYSE: ACB), Canopy Growth Corporation (NASDAQ: CGC).

That's because researchers are finally re-thinking how we deal with mental health. According to Reuters, mental health disorders is projected to be costing the world $16 trillion in the 20 year period from 2010 to 2030. And at the moment, we're left with hundreds of flawed solutions.

That's the reason big-time investors like PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel, Shark Tank star Kevin O'Leary, and pot stock dynamo Bruce Linton are said to be investing money into the psychedelics space. And they are not alone.

Even some of the biggest pharmaceutical companies like Johnson & Johnson and $195 billion giant Abbvie are moving into this burgeoning market. At the same time, world-class institutions are racing ahead with groundbreaking research into the potential benefits of psychedelics.

That includes respected medical organizations like Johns Hopkins University, University of Toronto, Imperial College, and King's College. And one little-known biotech company could be set to take this space by storm. Havn Life is aiming to provide a reliable source of psilocybin for the hundreds of studies that are being carried out in this burgeoning industry.

Supplying the Anticipated Boom

Havn Life (HAVN; HAVLF) has developed a plan that could help make them part of the backbone of this growing industry. By delivering high-quality, naturally-derived psilocybin directly to researchers making these breakthroughs, they could serve a critical role. Being a leading supplier could also mean another major benefit.

Unlike pharmaceutical companies that will have to wait 3 to 5 years for clinical studies to wrap up and await FDA approval before ever seeing revenue...They might be able to drive revenue long before that point if they make sales directly to these research organizations.

According to reports, they've already developed partnerships with a leading veterans' organization in Canada for Phase 1 pre-clinical research. That could set Havn Life up to develop creative new formulations to potentially help treat veterans with PTSD and other trauma-related disorders.

The U.S. military has already spent $14 million to study the effects of psilocybin on posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in veterans. So with tens of millions of dollars being spent by government agencies, Havn Life might have spotted an incredible opportunity. This is a huge accomplishment that could put them alongside Big Pharma giants like Johnson & Johnson and Abbvie, along with other billion-dollar companies in this growing space.

Standing Out from the Competition

With millions of people suffering from mental health conditions, Big Pharma has a serious problem. Despite these conditions having a devastating effect on these people's lives, many have made clear they have no interest in taking the lab-made medications Big Pharma is peddling.

With Havn Life (HAVN; HAVLF) committed to providing naturally derived mushroom extracts, this could give them a clear leg up against other suppliers making their products under microscopes in the labs.

They're reported to be the first company to be granted a Section 56 exemption from Health Canada, allowing them to work with psilocybin in a lab. And this important announcement has given them a necessary ingredient to start building protocols for their proposed GMP-compliant facility.

Revenue Potential Within Reach

Havn Life recently announced they have established a team on the ground in Jamaica, helping build up the lab where they can legally grow mushrooms and do extractions on-site. With this announcement, they've checked off another major box and become that much closer to becoming a supplier in this growing corner of the biotech market.

Havn Life says it already received their first research license from Health Canada last year, which gives them the thumbs up to research and develop psychedelic compounds. It looks like all they need to get started now is to secure their dealer's license, allowing them to supply and sell regulated compounds.

Other players in this market are sitting on multi-million and billion-dollar market caps as this industry takes off. MindMed boasts a market cap of $737 million. And Compass Therapeutics is currently valued at a market cap of $2.4 billion. But at the moment, Havn Life (HAVN; HAVLF) sits at around $60 million.

Psychedelics Could Be Bigger Than The Cannabis Boom

Tilray Inc. (TLRY) is one of Canada's most established and profitable marijuana companies. And as President-Elect Joe Biden continues to pursue efforts to legalize marijuana, and a new string of localized marijuana legalization hits the United States, investors are watching established giants like Tilray closely into the next stage of the cannabis boom.

While Tilray's share price took a hit in March of 2020 due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, its recent earnings reports were significantly less disappointing than many analysts had expected. Thanks to this, Tilray has seen a bit of a turnaround, with its share price rising to a high of $29 in early 2021 before settling at today's levels.

Cronos Group (CRON) is another cannabis giant that took a hit during the first half of 2020. Since then, however, it has made a significant comeback, recapturing investor interest thanks to renewed sector-wide optimism. The bounce back in investor sentiment has also been reflected in its share price. In early 2021, Cronos saw its share price soar to $15 on the Biden-legalization hype, but it has settled down since.

Despite being primarily an equity investor, Cronos has also been making some major moves in its dealmaking in recent years, locking in agreements with some of the hottest names in the cannabis sector. Because of its ambitious plans and history of success, it has drawn the attention of some of the world's most influential companies, including the company behind Marlboro, Big Tobacco megalith Altria Group, which purchased a 45% stake in the company in 2018 for a total of $2.4 billion.

As the world's third-largest marijuana company, Aphria Inc (APHA), an Ontario-based marijuana giant currently has operations in 10 countries and distributes legal medical marijuana across the planet. And thanks to its unique approach to this emerging market, Aphria has proven itself to be resilient even amidst the global pandemic that has left many of its peers hurting.

One way Aphria has set itself apart in this turbulent market is through its acquisition of SweetWater Brewing, one of America's largest craft breweries. Aphiria's big gamble on SweetWater is an integral part of its big picture plan  to capitalize on the booming 'lifestyle' market. A market that has grown in popularity through the rise of craft beers and specialized marijuana blends.

Aurora Cannabis (ACB) is another giant in Canada's cannabis scene. It's a veteran in the market, and as such, Aurora has been able to close a number of high-profile deals, including the acquisitions of CanniMed and MedReleaf. But that was just the beginning of its aggressive expansion strategy.

In November of 2020, Aurora announced a massive deal to supply marijuana to Cantek, a leader in Israel's booming medical market. The landmark deal would include deliveries totalling to a minimum of 4,000 kgs of bulk dried flower every year. "This Agreement provides Aurora with a great opportunity to expand our medical cannabis brand and industry leading science in one of our key international markets of focus," explained Miguel Martin, CEO of Aurora.

Canopy Growth Corporation (CGC) is a solid buy in the cannabis industry thanks to its massive partnerships. In fact, just this last year, beverage giant Constellation doubled down on the promising cannabis company once again, investing another $174 million into Canopy, raising its stake to 55.8%.

Canopy hasn't stopped there, however. In addition to its ties to the world's most influential adult-beverage brand, Canopy is also rubbing shoulders with celebs. In September of 2020, Canopy even teamed up with Martha Stewart to launch a new brand of CBD edibles in a variety of flavors.
