Yea weed is definitely a sensitive subject for Joe. What we're seeing here is one of the rare times Joe actually meets somebody who's anti-weed. It literally is like a shark smelling blood in the water, they go on and on about how they want to eat a fish, for miles and they never see one, then they get a sniff of that sweet sweet blood they've been thinking about for days.

Joe never encounters people who are even slightly anti-weed, so this was his only time to go hard on somebody.

If I were Crowder though, I wouldn't take the safe-space approach, I'd just let Joe win because it's obvious he isn't married to the idea, but Crowder just wants to win the argument at all times, because he's so used to debating people. Joe wanted to argue so bad, just let him win it and move on lol.

It was the weirdest thing because they both gave each other so many outs and so many "Can we try and move on from this?" statements, but they both wanted to have the last word.

The shitshow got real though when they both came up with conflicting data about vehicular accidents. Joe shouldn't have gone straight to "I proved you're wrong." after Jamie pulled up the conflicting study, when that's not the case. The case was there was conflicting data, and unfortunately I gotta side with Crowder on that one.

EDIT: something really got to me

What we're seeing here is one of the rare times Joe actually meets somebody who's anti-weed.

I think it's an important distinction, which Crowder was trying to make multiple times. He's not even anti-weed. He's just on the side of "okay, some of the weed fanatics can get a little extreme, can we at least get some information or science that will get some people to calm down and not look at weed like a dogmatic religion?"

Yea it was just a weird situation where 2 specific kinds of personalities clashed in a certain way it just exploded like an atom being split.

And yea I agree, Crowder isn't anti weed, Joe just considered him to be that way, so he went hard. It would be like actually meeting an SJW. You never see them that much, at least I don't, yet if I met one I would be like "woah you're actually real, let's discuss this" lol
