Californian lawmakers are set to vote on a bill to legalise the possession of psychedelics in a major step forward for the United States' ongoing decriminalisation of recreational drugs
The legislation would remove the penalties for the possession of psychedelic drugs like LSD, psilocybin mushrooms, MDMA and more
If approved by the Senate, the bill will head to the Assembly after which it will potentially land on the Governor's desk
ASX-listed Creso Pharma (CPH) is in a unique position to benefit from the fresh legislation with its focus on the psychedelic market
The company's future subsidiary Halucenex develops and licences psychedelic compounds for the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical markets
Further to this, Creso appointed John Griese as Director of U.S. Business Development in April to help the company solidify its place in the U.S. market
With the global psychedelics market forecast to be worth US$10.75 billion (around A$13.9 billion) by 2027, Creso and Halucenex are taking proactive action to create an immediate path to revenue in the new market
