Eons Founder on Mushrooms and Mental Health

Lawmakers worldwide are recognizing the medicinal benefits of natural compounds, such as those in cannabis and mushrooms. Once considered dangerous “drugs,” both are now widely legal. And both are the focus of entrepreneur Alex Wolfe.

He co-founded a cannabis business in 2017, built a 650,000 sq. ft. growing facility, and took the company public. He now runs a mushroom-based nutritional supplement company called Eons, which he launched in 2021.
