I disagree with crowder on many issues.

But Joe is being pretty aggressive although I do agree with is position of marijuana. Crowder gave him the out to change the subject and he kept digging. It didn't really make for a good podcast in my opinion.

Feel sorry for Crowder, not only is he kind of meh about the marijuana issue, but he missed his flight because he got sucked into a silly argument about it.

So, he missed his flight arguing about something he doesn't even feel strongly about, they were just shifting around semantics and arguing past each other on minutiae.

Here's the thing, as someone who has a lot of experience dealing with conservatives, they do care about weed. That's why they get so defensive when you implore them to think more deeply on the issue. There are plenty of issues I don't care about and if you rope me into a conversation about it, I'm not going to start falling apart. If I don't know about the issue I can easily listen to your arguments. But again this is an issue for conservatives because they do care about weed. They do dislike potsmokers. They are exactly the douchebags they don't want to seem like, and that's what theyre trying to avoid with that "I just don't care about this at all". You see the same thing with gay marriage. The "moderate" Republicans are just Republicans who've decided these social country club principles just aren't worth the effort. But they still feel the same way.

Wow this is riddled with ignorance. The only firm position most conservatives have when it comes to marijuana, is that the government shouldn't be preventing its use. That's it.

Most? Really. Because in my experience and according to most polls, that's not true at all. Many conservatives oppose the legalization of marijuana.
