Springfield, Oregon–(Newsfile Corp. – August 23, 2022) – Silo Wellness Inc. (CSE: SILO) (OTCQB: SILFF) (FSE: 3K7A) (“Silo Wellness” or the “Company”), a leading global psychedelics company, is pleased to announce that it has opened its first ecotourism microdosing psilocybin resort and retreat center at Go Natural Jamaica in Long Bay, Portland, Jamaica. “We have been bombarded by cost-conscious client inquiries wanting to explore nature with the help of psilocybin,” explained Mike Arnold, an Oregon attorney and the founder of Silo Wellness. “They are what we consider ‘psychedelic curious.’ These are not looking to experiment with psychedelics for recreational purposes at a club or party. They are very intentional and mindful individuals looking to better understand themselves and their place in the universe. They aren’t looking for mental health therapy or a deep dive ego death. They are wanting to learn about psilocybin while learning about themselves. This is an unmet need in the psychedelic space, and Silo Wellness is well positioned to assist.

One of Silo Wellness’s most valuable assets is its data. From what the Company has learned from thousands of client inquiries and consumer comments on retreats is that not everyone is looking for the ‘deep dive’ or to treat mental illnesses. Many want to self-titrate on to mushrooms through serial microdosing. “Our Silonauts often want to be at a rustic seaside resort looking at shooting stars on a gram of mushrooms,” stated Arnold. “Or they want to go for a snorkel on a 0.1 gram microdose. They crave an increased connection to nature.”

Jamaica Luxury Psychedelic Retreats vs. Psilocybin Microdosing Retreats

Silo’s “luxury” retreats have been featured in Bloomberg, Fodor’s Travel, The Evening Standard, Men’s Health and The Washington Post, among others. However, Silo Wellness never intended to enter the luxury retreats space. “That wasn’t my vision,” continued Arnold. “Our mission is to put psychedelic healing into the hands of those suffering as quickly and inexpensively as possible. Nonetheless, the luxury model was necessary during COVID and has been very good to us and for our clients. However, it is not available to everyone due to the price point, which is a shame and also contrary to our mission.”

“The vision at our Go Natural Jamaica microdosing resort is to offer a lower price point with a seafront ‘luxury view’ but with more rustic accommodations,” Arnold continued. “We can significantly lower the cost by making air conditioning optional, for example, or provide a dorm room with bunk beds right alongside a luxury villa on the same site. I myself prefer to suffer in nature while primitive camping, rafting, or waterfall exploring with or without psychedelics. I don’t want to hear the buzz of the A/C at night. I want to hear the buzz of consciousness to the soundtrack of nature. I want to hear a tropical storm. I want to hear the whistling Jamaican tree frogs. I want to sleep under the stars while microdosing. And I want Silo’s clients to enjoy this God-given luxury that experienced psychedelic users can do on their own, but in the safety and comfort of secure accommodations under the cover our of risk mitigation protocols.”

Spiritual Ecotourism and Psychedelic Retreats in Oregon and Jamaica

Silo Wellness sees nature immersion as essential for human growth. Human consciousness is the most complicated and impressive thing to evolve out of nature – more complicated and inexplicable than a black hole. Silo sees it as incumbent on individuals to explore consciousness while exploring nature to get that reset along with a new purpose-driven download to be the best version of themselves.

In 2022, Silo’s Oregon nature-immersion psychedelic retreat was featured in Outside Magazine‘s article, “The Future of Nature Therapy is Psychedelic.” Its colorful narrative begins with an emotional play-by-play account of a ketamine deep-dive trip report by a brave participant with PTSD from sexual assault and depression: “[She] sees the blue pool, shimmering like a winter oasis. It sparkles below a snowy trail and rocky gray cliffs, the iridescent turquoise water rippling under the rushing downpour of Tamolitch Falls…[Her] otherworldly trip didn’t happen in the flesh. It took place in her mind, after she’d taken ketamine…”

Beyond what Silo’s cliffside beachfront resort has to offer, participants will have optional microdosing nature excursions that can include a waterfall swim, harvesting supper at a permaculture jungle farm, a bamboo raft river float, Caribbean boat tour and island picnic, etc.

Set, Setting, and Dosing: Perceptible Sub-psychedelic Microdosing in Nature

“This retreat isn’t necessarily imperceptible microdoses,” stated Arnold, “although clients are welcome to experience psychedelics for the first time in this way. Silo’s self-titrating psilocybin protocols allow people to work their way up dosing in a controlled way to experience the sub-psychedelic effects.

“We want people to be able to commune with nature at sub-psychedelic but perceptible doses. We know that most of our clients are uncomfortable taking a 0.3 gram ‘social dose’ or a 0.7 to one gram ‘hiker’s dose’ or ‘museum dose’ for the first time. Instead, we will provide the framework for them to slowly walk themselves up over time to these more advanced dosages. This prevents the ‘cannabis edibles dilemma’ of stacking doses with greater than expected effects.”

Jamaica Psilocybin Microdosing Retreat Pricing and Shareholder/Owner Discounts

Silo’s Labor Day retreat (September 3-6) has lodging and meals starting at $240/night for dorm lodging to $499.99/night for single occupancy with a three-night minimum. Double occupancy is also available. More information can be found at www.SiloWellness.com/jamaica-microdosing.

Farm-/field-/sea-/bush-to-table traditional natural Jamaican cuisine is included. Locally sourced psilocybin mushroom microdosing capsules are available on site for a nominal cash purchase. Applicants receive a one-on-one meeting with our experienced client journey planning team and an evaluation for appropriateness for retreat, contraindications, etc. by our Ph.D. pharmacologist and co-inventor of the world’s first psilocybin nasal spray. Qualified participants will also be provided with recommended reading materials, journaling prompts, videos regarding retreat location, logistics, and how to make the most of the process to help them put in the work to reset and reprogram their minds. Additional services can be found on the website, including transportation to retreat, additional add-on lodging before or after retreat, air conditioning, healthful smoothies and natural snacks, yoga, and food upgrade of menu choices (although this is discouraged as we recommend a full emersion into a new lifestyle closer to the land in an authentic local Jamaican fashion).

For a limited time, Silo’s shareholders may receive up to 20% off a retreat or priority booking for a private curated retreat for the owner and his or her guests. Owners may also request a special discount code to share on social media for up to 20% off for anyone in their network. Inquire for details and applicability.

Additional Corporate Updates

Since the May 2022 shareholder meeting, the Silo team has been working diligently to secure additional property partnerships in Jamaica to scale up retreats in order to reduce costs and to provide additional revenue through increased inventory. This strategy would provide the opportunity for the Company to negotiate longer-term staffing contracts at a lower price per retreat. In July, the Company successfully conducted a luxury retreat in Trelawny, Jamaica, with positive feedback from participants. The Company has also been working to best position itself for Oregon psilocybin by visiting rural retreat properties for potential purchase or joint venture and intends to purchase an urban retreat center.

The Company’s May 2022 letter of intent with Dyscovry Science is still active and that transaction is still expected to close with documents being finalized by the respective attorneys. Additionally, following the 20-1 share consolidation that occurred at the May shareholders meeting, the Company has seen its total shares issued increase due to debt conversions from the first two funding tranches received from the financing announced in April. The Company is in active discussions with other potential finance groups regarding debt restructuring and a potential private placement which would be contingent on renegotiating the April debt financing terms. The company has retained three f The Company may also spinout retreat assets into a separate wholly-owned subsidiary for an Oregon-specific capital raise. Use of proceeds for that would be include closing on a psilocybin service center property, BM 109 licenses fees and expenses, property improvements necessary for licensing, legal fees, marketing, and other administrative and operations costs.

Additionally, the Company entered into an advertising and investor awareness campaign with Dig Media Inc. dba Investing News Network (INN). INN is a private company headquartered in Vancouver, Canada, dedicated to providing independent news and education to investors since 2007 at www.investingnews.com. Beginning today for a 12-month term of the agreement, INN will provide advertising on its website to increase awareness of the issuer. INN does not provide Investor Relations or Market Making services. The cost of the campaign is $9,165/month. INN can be reached at 604-688-8231 or [email protected]. One purpose of the campaign is to drive awareness to the Company’s psychedelic vacations that are offered at a discount to shareholders/owners. Given the activist nature of plant medicine consumers, the Company’s goal is to one day have all participants at retreats being shareholders.

Toronto, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – July 13, 2022) – Silo Wellness Inc. (CSE: SILO) (OTCQB: SILFD) (FSE: 3K70) (“Silo Wellness” or the “Company“), a leading global psychedelics company, is pleased to announce that the Silo Wellness team coordinated the presentations of eight speakers in support of psilocybin use under Ballot Measure 109 in Lane County, Oregon, (Oregon’s largest county by population outside the Portland metro area) at Tuesday’s public board of commissioners meeting.

“It is important that Silo Wellness help support the education of local governments and law enforcement, as we are the only Oregon-based publicly traded psychedelics company and the only Oregon-based company with experience providing legal psilocybin use [in Jamaica] through our psychedelic wellness retreats,” stated Silo Wellness founder, a Lane County, Oregon, resident since 1998. “We want to prevent any misinformation comparing the roll out of this service-based wellness industry to any perceived mishaps from Oregon’s experience in the cannabis space, particularly regarding diversion and impact on neighbors.” In written testimony provided to the Board, Mr. Arnold explained that currently Silo Wellness is in advanced negotiations with property owners outside of unincorporated Lane County and didn’t technically “have a dog in this fight” at this time.

On Monday, the Lane County Board of Commissioners placed on Tuesday’s agenda potential actions on Ballot Measure 109, including the possibility of referring an “optout” ballot measure to the voters, who already voted 60% in favor of Oregon’s regulated psilocybin program in 2020. After the Silo team’s public comment, Springfield commissioner Joe Berney stated, “I was really persuaded by the testimony this morning from public comment. I was persuaded by compassionate use that this is therapy, and the regulatory framework is being developed.” He went on to explain that he was on the side of “‘doing nothing [to prevent implementation of BM109] as the voters of Lane County requested.” Thereafter, the commissioners unanimously declined to refer this issue to a vote and instead requested that staff provide a report on potential time, manner, and use restrictions.

Silo Wellness organized seven additional experts and advocates in the psychedelic space including: Dr. Joshua Siegel, M.D., Ph.D, of Washington University’s Program in Psychedelic Research in St. Louis, Missouri; Dr. Parag Bhatt, Ph.D., of St. Louis, pharmacologist and Silo Wellness’s retreat intake coordinator; Josh Wilson of St. Joseph, Missouri, Silo’s retreat customer success manager; Frank Cartwright, of London, U.K., impact investment manager and mental health advocate; Greg Biniowsky, a Vancouver, British Columbia lawyer and a Silo independent board member and audit committee member; Heather Lee of Colorado, a licensed social worker (Colorado/Oregon) and psychedelic practitioner with emphasis in cancer/end-of-life issues; and Nimi Gandhi, of Miami, Florida, marketing/creative specialist and ADHD/anxiety psilocybin success story.

The presentations to the Board were educational and impactful. Dr. Siegel explained that psilocybin is not physically addictive and has little risk of toxicity. He stated that caffeine is an order of magnitude of 10 more toxic than psilocybin, and alcohol is 100 times more toxic than psilocybin. Dr. Bhatt and Josh Wilson both discussed their experiences interacting with Silo Wellness psilocybin retreat participants and how lives are changed positively. Mr. Biniowsky commented on how he started off as a skeptic seeing “magic mushrooms” as a recreational drug but has been blown away by the scientific research and from what he has seen in his role as an advisor to Silo’s retreat team, focusing on regulatory compliance and best practices.

Heather Lee gave a passionate and impactful personal story of psilocybin and how she came to terms with her recent breast cancer diagnosis. Ms. Gandhi gave a personal anecdote of how psilocybin can assist with adult ADHD and anxiety symptoms. Frank Cartwright referenced his own personal transformation through psilocybin and how it had changed his business practice to focus on societal impact and mental health. He reiterated the importance of Silo’s current retreat protocols creating a safe, sustainable and accessible container for seekers of this medicine.

Mr. Arnold explained in his statement that the typical retreat has about as much community impact as a group of yoga practitioners. He concluded his written comments with this testimonial from Christopher, a Silo Wellness Jamaican psilocybin retreat participant: “These experiences and interactions have set me on a new trajectory in life. I know my place in this universe, and I owe it to every single person who made it happen.”

TORONTO, June 17, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Psyence Group Inc. (“Psyence” or the “Company”) (PSYG:CSE), a public life science biotechnology company pioneering the use of natural psychedelics, is pleased to announce that through its wholly owned Jamaican subsidiary, Psyence Jamaica Limited (“Psyence Jamaica”), it has entered into a multi-year agreement (“Collaboration Agreement”) with the Jamaican government’s Scientific Research Council (“SRC“). The SRC is Jamaica’s principal public sector agency, charged with fostering scientific research and the commercialization of its results. Projects implemented by the SRC have the potential to assist in the economic and social development of Jamaica. SRC has expertise in various areas including product research and development, chemical and microbial testing, molecular characterization and diagnostics of strains, propagation method development, active ingredient quantification and mushroom cultivation. The SRC’s Quality Management System is certified to ISO 9001 standard and its analytical and microbiological laboratories are accredited to ISO/IEC 17025.

The first collaborative initiative includes the development of nutraceuticals containing a range of psilocybin concentrations from micro-doses to hallucinogenic levels of dosing, as well as producing timed-release formulations. According to Justin Grant, PhD, Psyence’s Chief Scientific Officer, “This collaboration sets the path forward for Psyence’s observational trials, to be followed by more rigorous clinical trials.” He added, “We are honoured to commence work with the SRC on the development and physicochemical characterization of these products to produce consistent and standardized psilocybin mushroom-derived dosage forms.”

The second initiative places special focus on Jamaica’s indigenous mushroom species because Jamaica has long been celebrated as a biodiversity hot spot. This partnership will work in the field to identify, collect, characterize and store local psychedelic and psychoactive mushrooms.

The third initiative includes protocols for optimization of spawn production of rare psychedelic mushroom species and methods of conservation of select germplasm for up to 3 years.

Dr. Ryan Francis, Acting Divisional Manager, Product, Research and Development Division of SRC, commented, “The scientific approach of Psyence is aligned with the SRC’s objectives to preserve Jamaica’s indigenous resources and to develop evidence-based, standardized products. This agreement will facilitate research that has positive implications for the mushroom industry in general, facilitating greater understanding and identification of beneficial properties. We are excited to work with Psyence Jamaica to develop psilocybin nutraceuticals as partnerships of this nature are in keeping with the SRC’s mandate to provide scientific solutions and technical support to industries.”

Psyence’s commitment to Jamaica and Jamaica’s biotech industry goes beyond this collaboration to also include a shared IP agreement with the SRC, according to Psyence’s CEO Jody Aufrichtig. He declared, “Psyence is a global company that practices conscious capitalism; that means we are here as partners for the long term and the greater good. Psyence Jamaica was founded both to build global value and generate Jamaican prosperity and health. Sharing IP with the Jamaican people through Jamaica’s Scientific Research Council is fundamental to Psyence’s most deeply held beliefs that it is essential to build long-term economic and sustainable practices that benefit all.”

MONTEGO BAY, Jamaica, June 02, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Silo Wellness Inc. (“Silo Wellness” or “the Company”) (CSE: SILO) (FRA: 3K70), a leading global psychedelics company, today announced it has signed a binding letter of intent with Canadian-based mushroom company Mushe Inc. (“Mushe”) to establish the first legal functional and psychedelic mushroom retail outlet in the Western Hemisphere, based in Jamaica, where Silo Wellness currently cultivates psilocybin mushrooms, conducts psychedelic wellness retreats and is testing a proof-of-concept patent-pending nasal spray.

Through this joint venture, Silo Wellness and Mushe will build out and operate a “smart shop” retail establishment specializing in the sale of functional and psychoactive mushroom products such as tinctures, capsules, topicals and edibles, as well as boutique literature and accessories. Earlier this year, Silo Wellness announced a multi-year license agreement with the family of legendary musician Bob Marley for the exclusive worldwide rights to brand, market and sell a distinct product line of functional and psychedelic mushrooms, which will be sold at the store upon launch.

“As a company, we are very bullish about the high-potential functional mushroom category and the psychedelics sector as a whole. We continue to invest in and expand our operations in Jamaica, the only country where the cultivation, extraction and sale of psilocybin mushrooms is permissible,” said Douglas K. Gordon, Chief Executive Officer of Silo Wellness. “Consumers are increasingly interested in incorporating mushrooms into their wellness routines. Through our propagation operations, psychedelic wellness retreats and upcoming retail location, it’s our aim to make mushroom-based products, experiences and education accessible at a time when so many people are struggling with mental health and other issues.”

Jamaica is considered the epicenter of the psychedelic mushroom movement in the Western Hemisphere, where “magic mushrooms” are openly and legally grown and sold, positioning the island nation to directly benefit from wellness tourism as well as sales of psychedelic mushrooms. The global functional mushroom market size was valued at USD 46.1 billion in 2020 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.5% from 2021 to 2028, reports Grand View Research. As consumers increasingly look to incorporate functional foods in their diets, Food Navigator found year-on-year sales for food products incorporating medicinal mushrooms have risen between 200-800%, depending on the variety.

“In Silo Wellness, we’ve found a partner aligned with our mission to educate consumers about the healing powers of psychedelics and make mushroom-based wellness products and experiences more available,” added Jonathan Rakic, COO of Mushe “We look forward to introducing Jamaican residents and tourists to the wide-ranging health and wellness benefits of functional and psychedelic mushrooms – one smart shop at a time.”

Silo Wellness is also pleased to announce that Gregory Biniowsky has been appointed as a director of the Company. Mr. Biniowsky is a Canadian trained and licensed lawyer who has been a director or officer to a number of international business ventures. He is a fluent Spanish speaker, with more than 30 years’ experience working in Latin America as a strategic advisor. He previously worked for the international law firms Gowling WLG and Heenan Blaikie, and also worked as an international development fund manager for the Canadian Department of Foreign Affairs and the United Nations Development Program. Mr. Biniowsky studied at the University of British Columbia, where he obtained a Juris Doctor from the Faculty of Law, and previous to that, at Carleton University and York University, where he studied political science with a focus on Latin America.

Silo Wellness also announces that Mr. Stuart Kirby has resigned as Vice-President of Marketing to pursue other opportunities. Silo Wellness would like to thank Mr. Kirby for his service to the Company and wish him much success in his future endeavors.

By operationalizing the facility, the Company’s research division, Havn Labs, has begun production alongside local partner Hypha Wellness, a Jamaican-based food and psychoactive mushroom producer. This puts the Company on track to deliver naturally-derived psilocybin products to clinical studies and researchers by Q4 2021.

Jamaica is an ideal site for the new facility, as it has very favourable regulations for the production of psilocybin-containing mushrooms. At its new facility, Havn Labs will develop optimized, sterile growing criteria for psilocybe mushrooms. Chief Psychedelic Officer Dr. Ivan Casselman and Chief Research Officer Dr. Alexzander Samuelsson bring decades of experience in plant medicine, and will lead the operation with the support of local staff.

In addition, the Havn Labs team in Jamaica has been interfacing with local government officials to help advise on many different aspects of mycology. “We want to build strong partnerships with government, industry, and academics here in Jamaica,” noted Dr. Ivan Casselman, Havn Life’s Chief Psychedelic Officer. “The Jamaican psilocybin mushroom industry has a lot of potential, so it is important for our team to help support and build a sustainable industry here. Over the last 3 months, we have been meeting with several key stakeholders to develop collaborative relationships. We are very excited to further develop these relationships and help build the Jamaican medicinal psilocybin mushroom industry.”

By taking a multidisciplinary, multi sector approach to promoting the psychedelic industry in Jamaica, Havn Labs is signalling its commitment to sustainable, evidence-based, and high quality extraction of psychoactive compounds. With production underway, the Company takes a significant step forward in making these compounds available for research that can unlock human potential.

While the marijuana industry has grown by leaps and bounds in the United States, it is only still legal in a few states and banks are still prohibited from accepting money that is generated from marijuana businesses.

Under the eyes of the law, it is money generated from illegal activity and hence, even if a bank operates in a state in which cannabis is legal, it cannot accept that money. This legal hurdle has proved to be a major setback for most cannabis operators in the United States since they need to deal completely in cash and now, this problem is also affecting foreign banks operating in the country.

Lobbying The U. S. Government

Banks in Jamaica have now started lobbying the U. S. government to allow its banks to deal with the cannabis industry since it is a sector that is growing fast and set to become a force all over the world. However, as per the laws in the country, even foreign banks have to abide by the regulatory provisions and which is why the banks are struggling to get into the industry in a big way. Jamaica depends on the U. S. for trade but the cannabis producers in the country are now looking to become major suppliers for the cannabis operators in Canada and without the support of the banks, it is a tough thing to accomplish.

Diplomatic Channels

In a new development, the Jamaican Minister of Industry, Commerce, Agriculture, and Fisheries, Audley Shaw has stated that the country is going to work through diplomatic channels to ensure that the country’s banks are allowed to do business with the cannabis industry. In this regard, it must be said, that there have been some positive developments. The Attorneys General in as many as 33 states in the country have asked to bring the increasingly powerful and lucrative cannabis industry into the banking framework. Xavier Beccera, the Attorney General of California, stated, “This is simple: not incorporating an $8.3 billion industry into our banking system is hurting our public safety and economy.”
