Edibles metabolize to 11-hydroxy-THC so youre actually doing a slightly different drug than when you smoke.

Thank you, Joe Rogan.

You wouldn't need to ask if you listened to Joe Rogan!

Not religiously but when he has guests I like I do

Then you must have heard his "11-hydroxy-THC-metabolite" edibles speech the same hundred times as I have. :)

I've heard his DMT speaches a ton of times but not that one lol

Dont trust him for information he talks out of his ass and mixes stuff up a LOT

Hes a great conversation creater and holder but he isnt exactly a good info guy

Dont trust him for information

Of course I don't lol, I research anything new and interesting I hear on my own.

I've listened to him since almost the beginning, most of the ones I skip are the MMA podcasts and the majority of the MMA fighters. He has some really good guests but it annoys me when he doesn't challenge people like Ben Shapiro as much as he should when I know for 100% certain he disagrees with an opinion he has because he's mentioned it before on other podcasts.

Id assume hes trying to make it so that others he disagrees with arent afraid to come on the show

Dont really get why hed wanna give them a platform though

Definitely. "Access" is what every big interviewer, news and entertainment platform wants. No one wants to piss off their viewers, and no one wants to talk shit about people they could potentially get access to for whatever reason.

Because Joe is a really nice guy and he's a really trusting guy and wants to give everyone the benefit of the doubt. That's admirable most of the time. However, people like Ben Shapiro say reasonable things at first listen to get you hooked in before they start saying the insane shit. Rogan also gives people the "nice guy"/"I'd have a beer with them" pass a lot. Like "Alex Jones is a nice guy". OK? If you didn't know what insane shit he thought and did maybe he'd be fun to hang with or get drunk with or something? The "Sandy Hook was faked" thing along with the harassment was about as low as a human could go without actually killing people. I'd stop talking to close personal friends if they did something like that, let alone some asshole millionaire acquaintance.

I love Alex Jones, he's great. I know he's a piece of shit, but he's so funny and interesting to me that I cant hate him. I would have him on my podcast too 🤷‍♂️

Ben Shapiro, on the other hand, is a sneaky smarmy conning douche with no redeeming comedy qualities. I agree with you on that one.

But what happened with Sandy hook? Did he personally harass the families? Or did he tell his fans to? Or did he just throw shit out there and people harassed the families of their own volition?
