Psyence Group Inc. (PSYG) has launched its functional mushroom brand, “GOODMIND,” through a South African-based special purpose vehicle (SPV).

Alan obtained a Bachelor of Commerce and post-grad in Law at UNISA and is an admitted attorney of the High Court of South Africa.
Psyence further announces that Ryan Roebuck has resigned from the Board effective immediately. Ryan helped facilitate the successful RTO of Psyence into Cardinal Capital Partners.
