ATAI Life Sciences & Compass Pathways Co-Founder Christian Angermayer joins the show to talk about the roadblocks to getting psychedelics legal in the US and the best way to effectively treat mental health with them. Christian has been making waves recently after appearing on Joe Rogan, and has the backing of Peter Thiel. We've been talking alot about the potential of psychedelics in the past year, and after the FDA's recent disappointing decision... Christian tells us why it may not be all bad news. Sam handles the interview with Christian and then Derek hops in with Sam to talk about their interest in this investment.
