When investors in Canada made early inroads into cannabis stocks, who would have thought that returns could be so high. Just in case you failed to capitalize on them, do not worry as psychedelic stocks seem embarking on a similar trajectory.
Regulatory support and encouraging studies endorsing claims of health benefits of psychedelic drugs is likely to set the industry on the path of future growth. The estimated potential of the psychedelics is responsible for a rise in companies working in this field and developing medicines from Psilocybin, the hallucinogenic compound found in magic mushrooms.
Investors now have a variety of options for investing in psychedelic stocks. On that note, let's take a look at some rising psychedelic stocks that the market could trip on in 2021:
