E179 - Reggie Watts: The Absurdity of Being a Human Being

They have three sessions, and they may not do it again, and they only lightly relapse, I guess, if you want to call it relapse, or never do it again.

There was a friend of mine that had postpartum depression, never did psychedelics at all, had a really terrible time with postpartum.
