The company has received approval to proceed with the buildout
of a level 5 security system at its state-of-the-art research
facility in London Ontario
Wellbeing Digital Sciences Inc. (“Wellbeing” or the
“Company”) (NEO: MEDI) (OTC: KONEF) (FRA:
SQ2), an evidence-based mental healthcare company focused on
the development and implementation of innovative clinical
solutions, including psychedelic medicine and digital therapeutics
as supported by clinical research, announces that its wholly owned
subsidiary KGK Sciences Inc. (“KGK” or the
“Subsidiary”), has applied for a Controlled Substance
Dealers License (“License”) from Health Canada.
The License would allow KGK to possess, import, sell and study
several controlled substances including psilocybin, LSD, DMT,
ketamine and MDMA. The company has received approval to proceed
with the buildout of a level 5 security system at its
state-of-the-art research facility in London Ontario. Following an
inspection this spring, it is expected that KGK will receive the
license which will permit the company to import and sell substances
for medical and research purposes.
“Although still in its infancy. psychedelics have shown to be
highly effective in treating several mental health conditions,”
stated Najla Guthrie, CEO of Wellbeing and KGK. “Pursuing this
License will enable us to process, formulate and perform the
scientific tests required for our clients to move these promising
treatments to market in a timely manner once the industry matures,
ultimately staying at the forefront of drug development and
regulations. This is yet another step towards our goal to maintain
our position as a leader in this field and enable our clients to
not only create safe and effective alternative treatments but
leverage our Wellbeing North American clinical network to meet the
growing patient demand, ultimately creating additional shareholder
value.”
Under the Dealer’s License, KGK can possess up to 1,000 grams of
psilocybin, LSD, DMT, ketamine and MDMA at any time and can
transfer the extracted material to other companies who hold a valid
Dealer’s License. Once approved, the company will be permitted to
process and formulate a variety of psychedelic compounds,
progressively used and sought-after by patients and healthcare
practitioners to combat a variety of physical and mental
illnesses.
