The completion of this batch represents the crucial chemical validation and formulation steps that are a regulatory requirement prior to human administration,” said Chief Executive Officer of Entheon, Timothy Ko. “Partnering with Canada’s first licensed manufacturer of restricted psychedelic drug products fosters an ecosystem of collaboration and innovation within the Canadian psychedelic space, and we are thrilled by the progress being made.”
