Over the past two weeks, some major changes were announced by MindMed (Nasdaq: MNMD, NEO: MMED). It started on August 4th, when the psychedelic medicines company announced that they would be conducting a 1-for-15 reverse share split. And on August 12th, MindMed appointed two new members to its board. But the truly momentous news came the day before, during the company’s quarterly conference call: MindMed is putting their 18-MC program on ice.

18-MC, also known as MM-110, is a next-generation psychedelic that MindMed had hoped to use to treat Opioid Use Disorder.

One of the company’s first public programs, the excitement surrounding the potential of 18-MC attracted many early investors —myself included.
