Other commonsense arguments for CMPS
Was out on the golf course this weekend selling some buddies on the opportunity with CMPS and found the below arguments particularly resonated with them, FWIW.
CMPS and their psilocybin product has a $1.6 billion market cap while DFTX and their LSD product has a $5 billion market cap. That simply doesn’t square up.
The Spravato franchise alone is making more money than CMPS’ market cap. For a much more effective treatment like psilocybin, that also doesn’t square up.
Other psychedelics have serious caveats—stronger intensity, longer duration, or less provider knowledge—whereas psilocybin is the traditional risk-averse option.
Concerns around session duration, staffing, provider embracing, DEA apprehension, etc are overblown. The effectiveness and power of the instant-onset treatment outweighs this.
Not only are we amid a mental health crisis in this country, but chronic disease, the presence of grief, and a lack of fulfillment looms large. It is totally reasonable to expect psilocybin therapy to broaden from TRD to additional disease states because the drug simply works.

Comrades - we are nearing a watershed moment. Trust the process, trust the medicine, and let’s all watch this thing go to $30 together. We know it’s going to happen.
