How many patients do you think could be served with these medicines over the next three years in Australia?
podcast-host
What do you think?
podcast-host
Yeah, 5,000.
podcast-host
Right, which I understand, but I don't want to let the dream of boiling the ocean minimize the impact of even 400 people.
podcast-host
Because what people listening may not realize is that if you look back at the early studies, if you look at a lot of current studies...
podcast-host
They are expensive, at least in the United States.
podcast-host
I'll speak for the United States.
podcast-host
What a sentence.
podcast-host
I will speak to some of the clinical trials in the U.S., many of which I've been involved with.
podcast-host
And because these compounds are still Schedule I, it is incredibly difficult, time-consuming, and expensive to recruit subjects, to get approvals through ethics boards.
podcast-host
IRBs, et cetera.

And as a result, what you could get on the street very easily, mushroom chocolates or otherwise, for $50 for a patient in a proper clinical trial run at a university could cost $15,000 per person, right?
podcast-host
I mean, something like that.
podcast-host
It is incredibly expensive.
podcast-host
And what that means is you end up with these studies that are well-designed
podcast-host
and hopefully properly powered, and people can dig into that if they want online, if they wanna read up on what that means from a statistical perspective, but you end up with 10 people, you end up with eight people, maybe you end up with 15 people.
podcast-host
And certainly if you're a for-profit company, Compass and others have been able to and have had to have larger sample sizes and larger cohorts and so on and so forth as you move through the different phases.
podcast-host
400 is a lot, but there's a big but, and I'm hoping you can tell me the answer.
podcast-host
I'm sure you can.
podcast-host
Is there some type of requirement for data reporting from people who are authorized?
