The Global Momentum for Reform

The momentum for drug reform is undeniable. It began with Portugal’s groundbreaking decision to decriminalize all drugs in 20014, setting an extraordinary precedent for jurisdictions worldwide, including Oregon, Colorado, and British Columbia. British Columbia, in particular, has embraced this momentum by committing over $1 billion in 20235 to combat the toxic drug supply. This commitment encompasses drug-checking services, overdose prevention initiatives, supervised consumption sites, and prescribed safer supply programs—a comprehensive approach that presents an annual opportunity of $3.2 billion6 for safely supplied cocaine in the region.

We proudly represent the first wave of investors dedicated to this rapidly evolving safe supply ecosystem—a testament to our commitment to ending the fentanyl crisis and exploring the limitless potential of the coca plant. Our visionary team boasts over a decade of experience in drug reform investments, providing us with unparalleled insights into the nuances of this market.

Global Legalization and Rescheduling

Across the globe, the movement towards legalization and rescheduling is gaining unprecedented momentum. For instance, Bern, Switzerland, is preparing to pilot legal cocaine sales7—a bold move that signifies the dynamic shift in drug policies. Similarly, Oregon has pioneered the first legal market for psilocybin services, while Australia has rescheduled psilocybin and MDMA for the treatment of specific mental health conditions8. These groundbreaking changes are unlocking vast opportunities in markets estimated to be worth billions of dollars annually9. Moreover, Colorado is poised to establish the world’s first legal market for plant-based psychedelics, and the FDA is expected to approve MDMA-assisted therapy for PTSD treatment in 202410. Multiple U.S. states, including New York, California, Hawaii, and Connecticut, are actively exploring the creation of legal markets, collectively contributing to a global $12 billion per year industry11.

Foundational Investments that Shape the Future (CSE: SPLY)

Our strategic investments, such as CannaLabs and Safe Supply Licensing Co., serve as the bedrock of the safe supply ecosystem. CannaLabs, licensed by Health Canada, conducts groundbreaking research on psychoactive compounds like MDMA, cocaine, DMT, and ketamine. This research is pivotal in shaping the safe supply landscape and is complemented by analytics and testing services that support safe supply programs in Canada.

Additionally, Safe Supply Licensing Co. is in the late stages of securing a dealer’s license, enabling us to import and test controlled substances, thereby connecting investee companies to a federal license for Schedule 1-3 compounds. These foundational investments solidify our position as pioneers in the evolving landscape of drug reform.

Initiating Change in British Columbia

The Canadian Proince of British Columbia has emerged as a global leader in ending the drug war. This dynamic environment presents an annual opportunity of $3.2 billion for safely supplied cocaine in the region12, and Safe Supply (CSE: SPLY) is at the forefront, ready to capture this opportunity.

Rediscovering the Coca Plant

Once stigmatized because of its association with illicit cocaine production, the coca plant is experiencing a renaissance for its therapeutic potential. Beyond its historical notoriety, the coca leaf offers a plethora of benefits, including increased energy, improved digestion, high nutritional value, support for weight loss, carbohydrate metabolism, and effective pain management. Safe Supply (CSE: SPLY) is working to identify opportunities with the multifaceted coca plant, including a $50 billion market in energy drinks13, a $275 billion market in functional foods14, and a $382 billion market in pharmaceuticals15.

Addressing the Fentanyl Overdose Crisis

The fentanyl overdose crisis has reached alarming proportions. In the last decade, 1.22 million Americans have tragically lost their lives to the opioid epidemic16, with a staggering 74,000 fentanyl-related deaths recorded in 2022 alone17. Safe Supply (CSE: SPLY) confronts this crisis head-on by building companies focused on fentanyl test strips. Once considered “drug paraphernalia” and illegal in the U.S., these strips are now legal in a majority of U.S. states. The global fentanyl test strip market is projected to reach a staggering $12.64 billion per year by 2030, with the U.S. accounting for an impressive $6.77 billion of that by 202718.
