Joe Rogan, the 55-year-old host of the world-renowned podcast Joe Rogan Experience, is an avid advocate of marijuana. Known for his unfiltered honesty, Rogan doesn’t shy away from expressing his opinions, even on controversial subjects. While he openly smokes weed during his podcast, his stance on another commonly smoked substance reveals a somewhat hypocritical viewpoint.
Rogan due to his outspoken nature has found trouble on some occasions. What’s more, once his $200 million Spotify deal was at the brink of collapse due to controversial statements made on his podcast about COVID-19. Although, Rumble was willing to offer him an impressive $100 million deal, ensuring that Rogan’s show continued to thrive.
The 55-year-old considers himself as an “psychedelic adventurer”. This means that he embraces the exploration of mind-altering substances. This aspect of his persona is even reflected in his Instagram bio. However, he doesn’t disregard the potential dangers associated with these substances.
Joe Rogan a avid Marijuana smoker does not like ciggerates
Joe Rogan openly expresses his disapproval of smoking cigarettes due to their highly addictive nature. While he doesn’t hold the same disdain for smoking marijuana, Rogan has a clear aversion to cigarettes.
Rogan said, “I don’t allow cigarettes. I’m pretty sure it gives you cancer. I see people smoking cigarettes, I know they get tired quicker, I know it’s terrible for you. So, I don’t allow it when I see people smoking cigarettes, it’s not that I couldn’t get addicted I think we could all get addicted.”
Smoking marijuana carries a negative stigma, but it also offers certain benefits. In contrast, Rogan highlights his concerns regarding the potential for cancer and addiction associated with smoking cigarettes. Despite the cognitive enhancement sometimes associated with smoking cigarettes, Rogan remains steadfast in his disapproval of the habit.
Joe Rogan: “No one should be in jail for weed”
Joe Rogan advocates against imprisoning individuals for marijuana consumption, believing that it should not be a criminal offense. Recently, NBA star Brittney Griner experienced firsthand the unjust consequences associated with marijuana possession. He describes it as an political act rather than an severe offence.
Rogan said, “It’s horrible. It’s for nothing. It’s like she’s the clearest form of political prisoner.” Rogan further added, “No one should be in jail for weed.“
Moved by Griner’s ordeal, Rogan expressed his strong empathy towards her situation. Griner had spent several months in Russian custody after being arrested for possessing a marijuana product while entering the country. Rogan firmly believed that such an act should not lead to an arrest and such severe punishment, emphasizing the need for a more lenient approach.
