He's not a virgin, ya fool!! He said in the video he got his religious marriage certificate, so he could 'shtook' his wife!! Shtook is Jewish for doing it, which is teen talk for bumping uglies, which is geezer talk for coitus, which is science talk for fucking, which is cool talk for sexual intercourse, which is unnecessary - I mean, just say sex right!?
I would like to say thank you to ben and joe for taking the time to have such a healthy and intelligent conversation that actually benefits everyone. It is soooo refreshing.
Ben, the two of us need look no more We both found what we were looking for With a friend to call my own I'll never be alone, and you, my friend, will see You've got a friend in WEEEEEEEED!
I’m not a Ben Shapiro fan. He often comes across as a bit smarmy. However, this is one of the best examples of two people of slightly different opinions having a really great discussion without over emotion. Also big respect for saying where he doesn’t have knowledge and not having an opinion. I think both Ben and Joe were both very good in this interview. We need more discussions like this in our society.
that's what i think is the problem....not too many people can have reasonable discussions regardless of what 'side' they are on. just listen to the other person and then make your judgement. this is a great response by you.
I’m not a fan of either Joe or Ben. I watched this because of the topic, followed by two people that I do not admire at all. But I must say, it was a great debate. Well-spoken, they listen to each other & aside from Joe about five times, there’s no red herrings
I agree. I very much love how he says these are my personal beliefs & morals but you’re free to do as you want without my judgement. Just because you don’t agree with something or an opinion doesn’t mean there’s judgment or meanness. Simply, “respectfully disagree”. So many people want to argue now or if you don’t agree they take it personal 😹😹😹 not everything is mean.
That’s because they actually both agree that marijuana should be legal. This is a middle ground that they agree on. Even people who generally have different views/opinions can have things they agree on. Contrary to what the media wants us to believe, humans aren’t always polar opposites despite some contrasting opinions.
They’re not even disagreeing that much, though. This is a middle ground that they both agree on. Even those who disagree can have the same opinions on some topics. At 1:28, Joe even says he agrees.
Ben, the two of us need look no more We both found what we were looking for With a friend to call my own I'll never be alone, and you, my friend, will see You've got a friend in WEEEEEEEED!
They say the brain develops until you’re 25 but I legitimately don’t know if I would have even stayed sane until then without weed. I became an EMT at 18 years old and saw as well as experienced firsthand- horrific things before my twenties had even begun. At twenty years old, I came home from shift every day and would just stare at the wall for 45 minutes before moving because my mind was just such a wreck. It was all getting to me before I even realized. I eventually tried cannabis a year later after switching fields and it really gave me the “break” I needed to examine what was happening to me and make changes accordingly. I still struggle and have anxious days (I am professionally diagnosed with PTSD now) but I’m past the “All day every day” phase of cannabis addiction that some people such as myself experience, and I can finally implement its various cannabinoids into my life intelligently and wisely for improvement.
On the other hand I smoked weed at 16 and it gave me mental disorders the echoes of which persist to this day(depersonalization/de-realization/some sort ot panic/anxiety/psychotic attacks), it probably changed the course of my life in a vastly negative manner. I'm 95% it wouldnt've happened had i not smoked. I'm more or less fine, on the surface im probably more 'normal/healthy' than most of the retards in here that spout the benefits of weed and i suppose in some way im even grateful for the experience, however one wonders.. I will say that the whole reason for trying it was it wasn't allowed therefore i fully support legalization.
@@Heopful If someone has genetically predispositioned schizofrenia then weed can trigger it earlier than they would normally get it. I wonder if that's the case with anxiety etc. In my personal experience I was anxious before and after weed and sometimes when I got too high it was especially bad. Mixing THC with CBD weed helped a lot because CBD has antipsychotic properties.
I always love the phrasing "in my opinion". A lot of people these day's don't understand that it just clarified that that's what they think, instead of them feeling it as an absolute. Which drastically changes observations. Joe is a legend for setting an example
Probably adderall... funny that a lot of these people that don't 'smoke weed personally' are all for taking a shitload of prescription amphetamines or adderall until theyre gakked out of their minds like steven crowder or ben shapiro talking like a damn chipmunk lmao
I really, really, really, wish, this is how politicians talked in debates. Calm, friendly, and not arguing. They disagree on certain things, but respect the others opinions.
Politics is the worse way to solve any problem. Politics is dead. Politics is like an app that has never had an upgrade while just falling behind while the rest.of the world moves forward. We should put science at for front to solve problems and get rid of all those old bags that don't even remember their own name.
@@Furious703 But what if science doesnt know the answer to everything and we aren't sure what is the best way to do stuff . Then how do we decide our actions?
In an alternate universe in a dmt podcast called the dmt expirience where one pinch of dmt is interveiwing another. DMT: "Have you ever done Joe Rogan?"
😂😂😂😂 Noice! I can feel those endorphins being released and a mad reduction of epinephrine and cortisol! It's changing my perceptions... Ahhh... Feels gooooood!! I'm surprised the fda doesn't consider laughter, to be non-beneficial!
I joined the army after high school in 2009 1st platoon Aco 126 unfortunately I was hurt and became disabled in 2015 tbi my rehabilitation was at crag hospital in Colorado cannabis helps me on bad days when I feel overwhelmed i think it helps me come to terms with some bad crap and more easily deal with it after I smoke
Because he has mastered the subject knows everything he can and use it in a situation that makes it easier to understand for a person who hasn’t experienced it
@@lanceking7273 I am not saying jiu-jitsu is a bad example. I am just saying that there are maybe better examples he could've used. Not EVERYTHING has to do with martial arts.
Amazing podcast between two critical thinkers. Struggle is absolutely a part of life even if people are doubtful because they would rather live in a world of comfort. You learn and grow as a human being in times of turmoil if you have the right mental compass guiding you through tough times.
Your comment should be top comment. I don't know if you believe in the afterlife but I've followed literally hundreds of near-death-experience stories where people claim to have gone to "the other side" during clinical death and most have reported that they met with higher beings that reminded them that life is supposed to be difficult and challenging for the purpose of spiritual growth and learning. There's so much cohesiveness with their stories that I believe life after death is probably true. This knowledge has given me the strength to cope with hardship more effectively than the average person. I've been through the lowest of the low and I came out of it a much stronger person with more wisdom. I really feel like I meant to go through terrible stuff to get where I am now. My mother in-law on the other hand, doesn't cope well with hardship. Not to sound mean, and there's no way to sugarcoat it, but she's an extremely stupid and unintelligent person. She's 70-something and not at all wise or seasoned. She's a "young soul" and comes across as someone who's learned absolutely nothing. She feels that life has cheated her, that everything's unfair and that she should never have to suffer or have any hardship. Her mentality is so immature and unrealistic. She doesn't see the opportunities for lessons in hardship. I do. That's why I don't sulk or feel sorry for myself for the challenges I have in life. I view it as something I was meant to experience and for a good purpose. Life is what it is and we must make the best of it and learn to live in the now and enjoy what we have.
@@BadDriversOfNapa Very detailed, I appreciate your comment and perspective. In my own life, this relates to the practice of Stoicism. Marcus Aurelius was evidently able to deal with all the hardships he was dealt with in his lifetime--living by the philosophy of "the obstacle is the way." When you look at everything as either a lesson or a success, rather than a failure or a success, it can change your life dramatically; as long as you have a healthy perspective on what the lesson might be, and are truthful with yourself during the reflection process. I honestly believe that many people would become immune to depression, if they practiced this way of thinking. It's easy to say that you're depressed and reach for crutches in life while you claim to be a victim of circumstance. It's arguably more challenging yet more virtuous in my opinion, to take control of your own life and to understand that there are things outside of your control. There are many people that have it much worse than you do. Nothing is stopping you from making do with what you've got while moving forward, other than your own mind. The mind is analogous to a "tool" in my view; it's your choice on how to use it effectively and also your responsibility to keep it sharp. I think there's far too much stigma around some of these substances. If you view them as a tool, they can be used for great things but dangerous depending on circumstance as well. Nothing is ever viewed as black and white when I think about things. I think it's probably bad for younger adults with developing brains. I think that benefits can be gained by those who need it for a variety of appropriate reasons in my book. I have the same viewpoint on psylocibin. My theory around that, is that developed brains with less neuroplasticity are stuck in certain ways, and chemicals like this can re-open pathways that normally wouldn't be open, as a way to "reboot" the system. As this relates to the studies around aiding with depression, and seeing my father develop depression over time, this makes a ton of sense to me. Especially, given the fact that you hear stories about people curing their depression on their own, once something "clicks" in their own mind about their own life during self-reflection. Mindset should be something that society explores more deeply in my opinion. It's much more important than any other topic.
@@TheAceInfinity Yes, indeed. I agree with just about all of what you said. Ever since gaining wisdom about what life is really about, I no longer have a victim mentality. I now see every hardship as an opportunity for growth and an opportunity to do something great. My wife is being forced out of a job that's always made her happy......being forced out because of physical damage to her hands brought about by the job itself. She's going to have to go outside her comfort zone and relearn how to deal with difficult people for her next job (a job that isn't so physically demanding as her current one is). But I remind her that when one door closes, another door opens. People get so wrapped up in self-pity and victimhood that they don't see new opportunities right in front of them. They sulk so badly they don't look for solutions. Any time things get tough, I start looking for solutions rather than sit around and sulk. Every problem has a solution or a workaround. My take on recreational drugs is this. I don't do them myself, but I don't frown upon people who do, unless they're doing them to "escape" their problems. Problems are meant to be faced head on and dealt with, rather than running away from them or sweeping them under the rug. I do like to drink, but never to the point where I'm drinking to numb myself or escape my duty to face my problems. And never to the point where I'm poisoning my liver. Moderation is key. I added a new song to my playlist which got me thinking about what my "drug" is. The jazz chillhop group _Down To The Bone_ has a song called "Music Is My Drug". It got me to connect the dots. Music IS my "drug". Jazz and chillhop will always lift my mood when I'm down and make me feel energetic and ready to take the world by the balls. Music gives me a boost when I need it. So, it's the endorphins from the music giving me that "high". I don't use that to escape my problems but rather to give me that needed boost to then face my problems with more confidence. Now, I gotta go listen to that song again...... lol
Thank you so much Joe and Ben, an excellent discussion carried out agreeably with I think solid points made on both sides and not one moment moral posturing or denigration. A rare scene in this contentious world! MORE PLEASE!
joe showed us where ben was contradicting himself in his form of believe what is embedded in dark age and fuedal age relgious traditionality of realisms and ideals. whilst with science furthering us in the information age the moses and the burning bush had to be a hallucination from a drug induced activity or mental disfragmentation showing that pyschoactivity in the bible is a good thing if the story of moses is supposed to be a sign of good like jews and christians say it is. this is exactly what ben opposes ben needs to further his mind to openess and his views contradict and put him in some ways absloutly wrong. joe is trying to break bens stigma on a matter ben knows a shallow amount of information on the matter as he kept himself withdrawn and conservative in thought and stature in his life of the subject of drugs and the ideas at large in this debate shown that.
My 75 y/o grandpa in 2010-“reefer drugs are bad and are the devils work!” My 80 y/o grandpa dying of cancer in 2015- “hand me the cookie with weed in it so I can scarf these chili dogs in a few minutes and spend some time with you” True story.
I had a similar experience with my grandpa. He was always against it until he found out he was dying of cancer. I've never seen an 80 year old man smoke a joint so damn quick. He could eat and he wanted to spend time with us more. Without marijuana in his life towards the end we wouldnt have gotten those few last memories.
I microdose with mushrooms for PTSD, was also addicted to pain pills 370 pounds walking with a cane , Now with cannabis and mushrooms I’m 189 no more pills no more addiction
Only drink water. working out as little sugar as possible and I just suffer through the munchies , a lot of my weight gain was from medication the VA Docs gave me
@@robbie8620 sweets aint a problem for me but i just love eating so much i can barely contain myself when im sober. Guess i ll have to quit smoking forever cause even if i lose the weight i ll gain it back if i start again
I'm glad you mention this. I've known a fair few people who insist that marijuana is not "addictive" and that there's no adverse effects from taking or not taking it. I've a close family member and she's been smoking it everyday for the last 20 years. I've noticed that she has never progressed into a more adult mindset. She's still very much the 16 year old who cries that "everything is unfair " and she's now pushing 40 with 2 kids who are nearly adults. Plus she has absolutely no ambitions or aspirations. I believe the marijuana has something to do with it. It's still a drug with psychoactive properties.
@@cassiemontgomery45that’s a “her problem” imo. Blaming it on a substance is avoidant and pathetic. Plenty, if not almost all adults smoking weed are at a place where they are adult enough to function
@johnwayne87 No. But its already established. We know his point of view and Bens. So to say that only means you want to continue arguing about it. Who the hell wants to be around that?
Fritz 45ACP But ben isnt against the use of marijuana. So why keep drilling talking points to someone that A: isnt against it and B: clearly doesnt want to talk about it anymore.
This was a really great watch and I honestly feel I have an addictive personality and I feel marijuana can be addictive based on the person. In my early twenties I was smoking like an eighth a week of what we would call "dank" or it would probably be called "gas" today so expensive is where i'm going. Anyway I was getting to where I wouldn't get high or possibly just the first smoke of the day and then you chase that high all day. I ended up quitting for a year because of how bad I was getting and promised myself i'd never get to be that heavy of a smoker again. Never had a problem since but I can also see where Ben was saying it can be bad. I was wasting all of my money on it and living check to check so at that point in life it was very bad for me. Also I have always been a fully functional worker in any field while being high pretty much all the time, I was high so often no one even knew lol! I used to work concrete construction so safety was a must but I used to work with people that seemed to just become retarded after smoking and would then mess everything up all day after.
As someone who smoked everyday and stopped and I tried it again after my views changed. I think people need to try certain drugs to not change but rewrite their perspectives
Lmao I swear Joe finds a way to transition into talking about DMT in like 70% of the podcasts i've watched of his. I'm not opposed to it though, it's an interesting topic.
Yea, when it comes to drugs, our government is fucking retardes. Drink until you pass out with 16 but weed is straight from the devil and you'll go to jail for it.
@@qipteq1786 thats fucking bullshit. Im from Germany and I know noone that suddenly stopped drinking beer because its "haram". Stop making shit up about other countries to fuel your wrong political opinions. I bet youve never been to Europe once, probably watched too much Fox News.
Glad I ran across this, I haven't tripped in like 40 years lol, I'll tell ya what, would love to have some of the microdot from back in the day for sure, I at 65 would try it, or the Psilocybin mushrooms. I have heard about the xtacy, and never got to try that like 25 years ago from some friends, great show Joe...✌😎
This is a beautiful conversation. I agree with Joe pretty much the whole way, but these people very clearly disagree in such an respectful, adult way. This is far more rare than it should be.
MysterySteve: The Pathetic Gamer I agree more with Ben. People like yourself and Joe smoke weed and personally we don’t have a problem with it. I just don’t expect you guys to shove it down our throats to accept it and smoke it ourselves if we choose not to. Like he said “this is a free country” we should all do what we want without someone forcibly trying to bring their ideas for everyone else to believe.
My opinion about marijuana and other drugs is, if you have never tried them you have nothing to say about them "being bad" for you. You don't hire a mechanic to fix your car if he has never seen an engine before Edit: I must say that meth and synthesized drugs have already shown us a track record of ruining your health, those are not the "drugs" I'm referring to, I'm referring to LSD, "majic" mushrooms, marijuana, along with other "natural high" things used by Shamans and Medicine Men for centuries.
@@andyeah3414 I wouldn't call Datura "hard" but the rest of that stuff will mess up your brain chemistry. I wouldn't care if it all disappeared tomorrow
Joe “When you eat edibles the THC is processed in your liver and your body produces something called 11-hydroxy metabolite which is five times more psychoactive than THC” Rogan
People who smoke aren't satisfied with you saying "smoke if you want, we don't want to criminalize it". They want (may even need) you to say "ok ok fine smoking is good for you so let's smoke together".
0.75x speed is good, Joe sounds chill on weed and Ben sounds like a normal guy yeet... Or just try 2x speed and Joe sounds like he's almost caught up to Ben's normal speed and Ben sounds like Eminem on steroids...
I like this interview. I am conservative, but I have had extensive experience with various substances. This was a beautiful interview. Thank you, Joe and Ben. 😊👍🏻
I smoked pot ALOT when I was about 16-25 years old and when I say a lot I mean from morning to nights I was stoned I would say like 90% of the time. I then had to quit for about 5 years because I got a job that had random drug testing and I got married and we had a child. After that five year gap we moved and I got a different job so I thought I would go back to smoke turns out I had changed and now could t stand the way pot made me feel and it effected me a lot more like over 24 hours from a partial joint. That was about 10 years ago and since then it has become legal in my state and a handful of times I’ve tried to see if I would like it again and I just can’t especially with all the new ways they offer to get high off pot and how incredibly potent and strong it is now I’ve grown to hate it. Another point I believe in is we can know that smoking and drinking is bad for a developing brain and tell our kids to not use and wait u til they are grown but it is always best to lead by example now my stance is I hate near all intoxicant’s. There is just no way to have them for adult use and be able to keep them out of children’s hands. Wow sorry for the rant 😂 just my opinion
@@TheGoaterGoat perhaps, but he's not just interjecting to hear himself talk while dismissing the other person. He's responding to whatever is being said thus contributing to the conversation as a whole. Theres a big difference
