Church of the Sacred Synthesis March 7 Press Release

The Church of the Sacred Synthesis (The Church) is pleased to announce that it has confirmed the presence of Psilomethoxin (4-HO-5-MeO-DMT) in its mushroom fruiting bodies.

These findings have been independently confirmed using triple quadrupole LC/MS instrumentation at the Chemical Purification, Analysis, and Screening Facility supervised by its director at the University of South Florida (USF) on Tuesday March 5, 2024.

The Church made the Psilomethoxin reference standard that it promised and will be able to test submitted sacramental Psilomethoxin contained in fruiting bodies provided by others who grow the sacrament on their own.

The Church has a distribution partner who will be making Psilomethoxin available over the counter (OTC) in a GMP formulation. We have a biotech partner who will be making Psilomethoxin OTC in a GMP formulation from yeast using gene editing. We have a university partner who will be conducting clinical trials on Psilomethoxin on the way towards an FDA indication.

The Church has sued Usona and others for defamation in Texas state court in Austin. The basis for our suit is that Usona is liable for their test of the anonymous unauthenticated sacrament due to the reckless disregard for the truth (actual malice) in the failure of their methodology to extract Psilomethoxin using methanol rather than water which Psilomethoxin is soluble in.
