  • Scarlette Lillie Science and Innovation has secured a relationship with Jinfiniti Precision Medicine
  • Exploring the potential roles that psilocybin and truffles can play for age-related and psychiatric disorders

Toronto, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – September 30, 2020) – Red Light Holland Corp. (CSE: TRIP) (FSE: 4YX) (OTC: TRUFF) (“Red Light Holland” or the “Company“), an Ontario-based corporation positioning itself to engage in the production, growth and sale of its brand of magic truffles to the legal, recreational market within the Netherlands, is pleased to announce that its science division, Scarlette Lillie Science and Innovation (“Scarlette Lillie“), has secured a relationship with Jinfiniti Precision Medicine (“Jinfiniti“) in order to explore the potential roles that psilocybin and truffles can play for age-related and psychiatric disorders. Jinfiniti has created a world class “AgingSOS” test panel that can detect key factors from blood that drive aging and other genetic instabilities. The speed and affordability of this test can allow for both company’s Scientists to clearly evaluate the potential for psilocybin treatments that go beyond what is currently being explored. The CEO of Jinfiniti is Dr. Jin-Xiong She, a professor at Augusta University in Georgia, USA, whose expertise is in the creation of biomarker panels. Jinfiniti’s state of the art panel is making it possible to extend the applicability of psilocybin.

“We are pleased to work with Scarlette Lillie, and we are excited to add this special dimension to their clinical study explorations as they emerge,” says Dr. She, CEO of Jinfiniti.

“The idea that psilocybin and truffles have deep physiological and medicinal effects that go beyond psychiatric applications is not new, but as a scientist, Scarlette Lillie is allowing me to truly explore whole new markets, with a rigorous biomarker panel. Additionally, this work has the potential to help us understand if there are unknown mechanisms at play for neurological and psychiatric disorders,” says Dr. Joseph Geraci, CEO of NetraMark Corp. and a scientific advisor to Red Light Holland. Dr. Geraci is helping to establish several clinical programs. He brings a deep knowledge of systems biology, medical science, and artificial intelligence to the team.

This relationship with Jinfiniti will allow Scarlette Lillie to add a novel component to expected clinical studies for psilocybin and truffles. The knowledge that comes from this has the potential to not only influence the outcome of clinical studies but can also potentially lead to novel treatments for several disorders.

“When you see brilliant Scientists like Dr. Joseph Geraci and Dr. Jin-Xiong She, a professor at Augusta University, show this much excitement, it gets me really excited!” Added Todd Shapiro, CEO and Director of Red Light Holland. “I’ve always made it very clear that as a company we take Science and Innovation very seriously. This is just another example of Scarlette Lillie moving forward intelligently with world class experts to hopefully help be a part of positive change.”

Berkeley Opens Its Mind to Psychedelics with New Research Centre SPONSOR: Red Light Holland $TRIP.ca $SHRM.ca $RVV.ca

The University of California at Berkeley is getting the dirt on mushrooms.

The school announced on Monday that it will be launching the UC Berkeley Center for the Science of Psychedelics — an institute devoted to expanding and better understanding the effects hallucinogens have on the human brain, according to Marijuana Moment.

“There’s never been a better time to start a centre like this,” said neuroscientist David Presti, one of the founding members of the project. “The renewal of basic and clinical science with psychedelics has catalyzed interest among many people.”

Buoyed by an anonymous US$1.2-million donation, the centre will begin its research by looking at psilocybin — the hallucinogenic component of mushrooms that has received increased attention at other institutions recently for its ability to treat conditions previously thought untreatable.

“Some of these studies have produced striking results in cases that are otherwise resistant to more conventional medical treatment,” said Michael Silver, a neuroscientist and the director of the new centre. “This suggests that psychedelic compounds may offer new hope for people suffering from these disorders.”

Researchers are also working with the university’s graduate theological union to train students to be “facilitators” during psychedelic ceremonies with a focus on the “cultural, contemplative and spiritual care dimensions of psychedelics.”

Study at the centre will be geared toward understanding what happens in the human brain during a psychedelic experience. Researchers hope to gain insight into how visual hallucinations manifest themselves in the brain and the effect they have on a person’s identity, ability to cope with stress and even their social and political attitudes.

“Psychedelic medicines can open a doorway to seeing one’s psyche and connection with the world in new and helpful ways,” Presti said. “That’s been appreciated by shamanic traditions for thousands of years. Science is now exploring new ways to investigate this.”

Currently, psilocybin mushrooms are classified as a Schedule I drug by the FDA, the same category as heroin and cannabis. To be a Schedule I drug means the substance in question holds no medicinal value. As researchers find mushrooms have a positive effect on anxietytreatment-resistant depression, and Seasonal Affective Disorder, that could change.

Like cannabis, psilocybin has a long track record of relative safety among recreational users, and it is not toxic. Unlike some drugs that treat anxiety and other mental conditions, psilocybin is not prone to dependence. But given its hallucinogenic effect, lawmakers may be reticent to allow distribution of the psychedelic drug without more restrictions.
