Medicinal Psilocybin Market
TORONTO, Nov. 19, 2020 /CNW/ - Halo Labs Inc. ("Halo") (NEO: HALO) (OTC: AGEEF) (Germany: A9KN) and Red Light Holland Corp. (CSE: TRIP) (FSE: 4YX) (OTC: TRUFF) ("Red Light Holland") are pleased to announce they have entered into a non-binding letter of intent for the purposes of creating a joint venture to become a licensed psilocybin manufacturer to supply psilocybin products to licensed service centers in the State of Oregon, and to explore other potential business opportunities in this new regulated market, subject to compliance with all applicable Oregon laws and regulations. "Clearly, we are very excited with the recent results of Oregon Measure 109 where progressive Oregonians have voted in favor of becoming the first state in the US, to allow the use of psilocybin, for therapeutic use. We take pride at Red Light Holland in our self-regulated responsible adult use psilocybin legal product (iMicrodose packs in the Netherlands), which we feel could become a model for the development of psilocybin products for the Oregon regulated market to be used to potentially treat chronic mental health issues like anxiety, depression, and addiction" said Red Light Holland CEO and Director Todd Shapiro. "We are aware that these are early days for the Oregon psilocybin market, we cannot make medical claims, and the path ahead is still a long one as the Oregon Health Authority still has to create a state-licensed, psilocybin-assisted therapy program over the next two years. This is exactly why we have entered into a non-binding LOI with Halo Labs, as CEO Kiran Sidhu and his team have deep regulatory experience and relationships with Oregon lawmakers and state officials, having founded Halo Labs, a successful vertically integrated cannabis company that started in the State of Oregon and now operates in multiple US states, Africa and in the UK" added Shapiro. "We believe we are in a great position to work closely with Oregon regulatory authorities with respect to the implementation of Measure 109 and the development of Oregon's regulatory psilocybin regime," said Kiran Sidhu, CEO of Halo. "We are delighted to be working with Todd Shapiro and the team at Red Light Holland, as they have the experience, know-how and the right viewpoint with their educational, informational, innovative, and careful perspective on access to psilocybin. We are looking forward to taking the next steps in second half of 2021 in this emerging market together. We remain exclusively focused on cannabis in Oregon and see medical psilocybin as a longer term opportunity." Further details of the proposed joint venture will be announced once available and as the contours of the Oregon regulated market begin to take shape.

I think this will be a great partnership. RLH is in the midst of aquiring a distribution channel in the Netherlands which has reach across the EU. https://webfiles.thecse.com/sedar_filings/00004119/2011100537299506.pdf
