We are on a mission to improve the lives of those living with addiction and to have a broad, positive impact on society.

Together, we can bring psilocybin to the market to empower those who currently don’t have any other assuring options. 

 

Psilocybin has the potential to effectively treat alcoholism, as demonstrated through clinical studies.

 

Why B.More?

B.More is named after Brett Moore, who died of a drug overdose 50 years ago and was the brother of our co-founder, Claudia Turnbull.  To keep his name alive and help others suffering from substance use disorders, B.More came into being. 

 

B.More is a 501(c)(3) non-profit lifescience company studying psilocybin, a classic psychedelic, to treat patients suffering from Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) and who may have been unsuccessful with more traditional drug and treatment programs.

The Team
