Tripping Over Reality: The Economics of Psilocybin in Oz

As Australia becomes one of the first places to officially embrace (or at least tolerate) psychedelic assisted therapy (PAT), it’s worth asking: just how much psilocybin does the Australian therapeutic market need and what is the market potentially worth?

If any of these elements aren't your cup of tea, you might want to stick to more conventional reading options.)
