'Treating' Depression with Psychedelics & Bitcoin w/ Ricardo Negri

Rick messaged me on twitter mentioning that he'd be interested in coming on for a discussion.

What followed was an honest, open, and fascinating discussion about how bitcoin and psychedelics allowed him to get off of his dependency on pharmaceutical drugs to treat his depression, turn his life around, and develop a more hopeful and motivated vision for the future.

Enjoy!
