In this episode of the Psychedelic Therapy Frontiers podcast, Dr. Steve Thayer and Dr. Reid Robison talk about the relationship between psychedelics and psychosis and discuss the abuse potential of ketamine.
Amirah Al Idrus explores the regulatory issues facing psychedelics, the setting in which they’re administered and how traditional business models may need to evolve in the process. At Novamind, we’re building the infrastructure to expand access to psychedelics in anticipation of their FDA approval. We’ve developed and are developing psychedelic therapy protocols to target difficult-to-treat mental health conditions that are underserved by the current standard of care. You can learn more about those treatment protocols here.
We know ketamine’s power to treat depression. “Within hours, a single dose of the psychedelic substance has been shown to curb suicidal intent, and recent clinical trials suggest these effects work on two thirds of patients, lasting for up to several weeks before fading away.” But recent results are getting us closer to the scientific reason why—ketamine may be responsible for decreasing the release of glutamate in our brains.

The LAVCE (Liquid Avatar Credentials Ecosystem) currently supports verifiable credentials by creating a Trust Triangle between the Issuer of a credential, such as a government, health provider, workplace or school, the credential Holder (the data subject), and the Verifier (receiver of data) that is working to validate each unique data transaction. Far more secure and reliable than paper-based credentials, contract tracing forms, and traditional apps, the LAVCE and verifiable credentials can effectively reduce or eliminate fraud as all functions are supported by cryptographic blockchain solutions using the Indicio Network , the premier enterprise blockchain network for identity.
David Lucatch, CEO says it best, “Quick and easy verification for vaccine status with robust protection against fraudulent issuance is just one of many of the LAVCE’s important applications, Our communities just started opening up and it’d be a potential economic disaster if we had to collectively shut down again. We believe that it’s not enough to just say that you’re vaccinated or tested, we need a seamless, non-invasive, and privacy-respecting method for organizations to verify that individuals are immunized so that they can safely access their services…”

Most of us know drones for their recreational uses or perhaps even as simple commercial applications for things like real estate videos.
But the fact of the matter is that drone usage is about to go parabolic with huge corporations adopting them for a wide-use of applications that most never dreamed of such as:
To provide Internet connections in remote locations.
To collect crowd data.
In short, the drone industry is booming in ways people can’t imagine because the industry is shifting from the drones themselves (hardware) to drone technology and solutions (software)… and the one company that is delivering the most challenging applications is Draganfly Inc. (DPRO: NASDAQ) (DPRO: CSE)
DraganFly is an award-winning drone manufacturer and technology developer that is actually delivering some pretty incredible achievements, milestones and even history:
Established in 1998 DFLY is considered the oldest commercial drone company in the world
Built the first drone that saved a life
Boasts the first drone to be inducted into the Smithsonian National Air & Space Museum
Developing a Vaccine Drone Delivery Payload System (it’s way more complicated than just transporting vaccines)
Detect infectious conditions in a person from a distance of 190 feet
Conduct phenotyping, data collection and analysis by the USDA
With all of this under the Company’s belt, it’s easy to see why the company recently uplisted to the NASDAQ.
If you believe in the massive parabolic growth in the use of drones for almost everything we do in this world, or want to learn, then watch / listen to this powerful interview with Draganfly CEO and Chairman, Cameron Chell.

HPQ Silicon Resources $HPQ $HPQFF is a Quebec-based company that is developing high value-added silicon products that are sought after by battery and electric vehicle manufacturers – but nobody has yet delivered – until now.
If that sounds a lot like what other small companies are saying lately, $HPQ differentiates itself as a leader of the pack thanks to the following:
To understand the importance and the implications of this milestone, this excerpt from the press release says it all:
” The HPQ NANO team is now more confident than ever that the PUREVAPTM NSiR will be able to deliver, at scale, and on-demand, a nano silicon for anode production that will be cost competitive. The validation announced today …. was the big breakthrough we were looking for”
Peter Pascali, President and CEO of technology partner PyroGenesis added a little more excitement when he stated:
“Words cannot adequately describe the excitement at PyroGenesis at potentially being able to address and solve challenges in developing lithium-ion batteries, which are sought after by many industries but specifically the EV market.”
Using an analogy to describe the importance of this milestone, $HPQ CEO Bernard Tourillon stated it was equivalent to the first SpaceX successful landing of its Falcon rocket. Specifically, though he was confident in their ability to produce Nano Silicon, actually producing it now removes all doubt and the Company can now focus on:
“… Subsequent batches will be delivered to the awaiting automobile manufacturers plus numerous other entities that have demonstrated an interest in receiving samples.“
Watch this great interview with $HPQ CEO Bernard Tourillon to get the full picture on next steps!
