get rekt FTW yup ,tf ?im i supposed to be ashamed of that ?ohh poor me im a lil ass kid plz someone help me ,im never gonna be old :,((,oh wait we all have to grow up somehow ,imagine if u really were older why tf would you even say something??ig you not old enough to know not to argue with someone younger than you ,bcz how guess how that makes u look now.
well probably because the reason he got sober was he had a spiritual calling and now believes in angels and demons and prays and the fact Joe rogan is a hardcore Athiest who does not believe in that and believes we came from monkeys etc plus joe Rogan went on his own tangent when Steve-o was getting to it...
When a guy like Steve O turns his life around It should really put the thinking cap on for anyone that struggles with life , money, etc, and addiction. Bless Steve o in this next phase. Some of us know what it’s like to live with ourselves after being so cruel to ourselves and those around us by being an addict. It’s time to wake up.
i fully agree. but on the other perspective, people will argue that his money helped him get sober. which at the end of the day, it assisted him. It's hard to want to get sober when you go home to a broken tent on a rainy day halfway under the freeway in seattle. Steve-o had enough funds and the best support system around him at the time. addiction is a harsh reality and everyones rock bottom is different
@@rickeyalaman1660 Not saying it wouldn’t help to have money if you’re trying to get clean but it can also be what sends you to addiction too. If you have all the time and money to fuck around it can be easy to slip down that slope. And also if you come from success the pressure to live up to that can be a lot harder than people think. All in all addiction affects anyone from rich to poor, black to white everyone’s circumstances are different.
what you forget is that steveo was born a rich kid and stayed rich even throughout all his drug escapades. Im not denying that he is great fkr going sober but he had access to very expensive support networks that many others dont. Ive struggled with quitting weed for years but when youre poor and without many friends just toughing up is sometimes not possible.
“Mushrooms are the worst for that” For those that haven’t done shrooms Steve-O’s description is the most accurate imo. The first time I did shrooms, it was fun, felt like I was drunk & was seeing colors with my eyes closed BUT the second time I was just putting myself on trial, like how Steve-O puts it best, I started to put myself in the shoes of others around me like my family & friends like “damn maybe I should be easier on them” or “maybe I don’t deserve to be in their life, they’d be better off without me” I just started crying my eyes out. Joe Rogan also said it best because you have all these problems that you don’t address & that was an effect from smoking weed for me cause I was short-tempered & I complained too much on my life, you know like how when you smoke, the first few hours you’re chill but hours later when you don’t smoke you tend to get a little agitated with everything, maybe that’s just me who was just fienin’ for another hit lmao. But after that trip I start to think & understand about others emotions better, like “maybe this guy is having a rough day, that’s why he’s upset” or “maybe I should take it easy on the way I approach people” shrooms is a magical drug but I would advice to be at peace with those around you before you do it because that trip was exhausting. I wouldn’t call it a bad trip, more like an awakening of my inner self & how to perceive others emotions better. In other words, don’t take shrooms if you’re an asshole. Lmfaoooo
Completely agree man. Wouldn’t have called it a bad trip, but it definitely opened my eyes to all my negative traits. I decided after the trip to get some professional help and it was the greatest thing I ever did for myself. To this day I don’t think I would be the same person without experiencing that eye opening and frightening experience
Nah, you should do it if you are an asshole lol, it could help straighten you out. In your case, it taught you how to be more empathetic. These are the sometimes the harsh truth that we NEED to learn about ourselves, because in the end, it makes us better humans. I used to be an asshole (not in general, but to certain important people in my life) until I started taking shrooms. I've always battled with at least some level of anxiety and depression, but since taking shrooms 12 or 13 years ago, my overall quality of life has vastly improved. The only time someone shouldn't take shrooms are when they are in a vulnerable state. If you're feeling good, eat a couple grams and feel even better. You might have to go through some shit to get to that feeling-better point, but in most cases, it's almost always worth it. It's basically intense self-therapy.
Hallucinogens are dumb cause their just that. Hallucinations. Not real. What you think and how you feel on them isn’t something you have deep down and a drug helps you feel it. You’re just not that person. Called hallucinogens for a reason. Not real bro!
@@jamesporter6288 perhaps, but is that what we are basing our lives with ff of now? What we have? Joe Rogen is just another Chad bro. I'd rather be myself and or be someone who Steve o would have hung out with back in the day, instead of another Chad bro. Like you and all of Joes followers. You could all be crushed under foot like insects. I can't wait to watch you all burn.
Scott Lambert That might be a better theory actually. I’ve heard that smokers’ lungs supposedly clear all that tar and crap out after a few years of abstaining. But I could see how coke drips could cause some serious long term corrosion of the vocal cords.
Growing up watching Steve-os struggle and recover from drugs and seeing him so open about it has honestly kept me away from alot of hard drugs in life. Same with weed. Like marijuana isnt a BAD drug in comparison to the others but it can be extremely detrimental to your mental health if you smoke it as an escape from reality. Anything that alters your emotions or reality can be extremely dangerous if done out of pain or in a place of poor mental health. I'm all for people living life and making individual choices but I always try to warn my friends about wanting to take drugs to make sure they do they're research on it and go into it clear of mind and happy instead of using it to escape reality
Kudos to Steve-o for getting and staying sober. Beating drug and alcohol addiction is no picnic which is why a lot of people don't try. I've been addicted to whatever I could afford over a large part of my life and I have nothing but admiration for anyone who gets straight and sober before it kills them, because it will!
It only leads to jails, institutions and death. I did the jails and institutions so I'm getting sober AGAIN before it makes me kill myself, because that's exactly where addiction brings me now, sitting in my flat isolating away from everyone who loves me for days on end with the curtains constantly pulled and listening to devil sitting on my shoulder telling me the world and everyone's lives would be a lot better without me in it.
@@cameronburdette8565 I believe he does, specially since he's gotten sober so young and reaches spiritual clarity as seen on his interview with Duncan Trussell
Tyler Chapman mate it’s not from any specific one it’s from all of them, steve O can’t blame any problems of himself from a specific drug lmaoo he’s done too many
I feel the same way about weed as Steve does. I used to smoke it everyday, then all of the sudden getting high would just bring up such negative thoughts and all I would do was sit there and pick myself apart.
i know this is bad but im 14 nearly 15 and i tried weed for the first time when i was 12 and went through phases of smoking 3-4 maybe 5 joints a day just because i could and at first the high was the best feeling ive ever felt but the more i smoked i got more paranoid about it and started to make me a worse person im now currently 1 month and 9 days weed free and have no plans of going back to it
@@keelanwebster1837 dont go back to it, especially at your age. I know the world says we have to be cool about weed but take it from a former heroin addict, the drug that fucked people up most mentally in my circle was people smoking weed at a young age. Just appreciate the experiences you had and move on.
@@Ukraineaissance2014 i had some pretty good experiences and some bad experiences i got into smoking by the older people i use to hang around with and i started just to fit in and tbh i wish i didnt it got to a point that i was smoking because i was bored and thats when i realised i needed to stop
@@keelanwebster1837 I was about the same age as you when I realised I just didnt like weed, it made me paranoid and jumpy and overly self critical but theres this massive drive by other weed smokers to make everybody a stoner so they feel better about themselves, and to insist it cures everything. Not worth the money or shitty lungs
Steve "I would like to smoke some pot, but my pot bones connected to my booze bone and my booze bone is connected to my..." O the best analogy to addiction
My pot bone is connected to my booze bone, my booze bones connected to my dope bone, my dope bones connected to my crank bone, these are the demons of addiction. This is why we must stay abstinent from all mood altering chemicals. If you are struggling with addiction, one day at a time; you got this. You can do and you don't have to do it alone!
"Hey man, sounds like you're working a great spiritual program...with your edibles"😂 The struggles of being a pot head don't quite compare to the demonic side of a serious drug addiction. Good for steve-o for trying to be positive about the differences in their experience and try to relate them on the same level, even if some sarcasm slips out lol
I love Joe, but couldn't help but feel this clip was a little disrespectful to Steve-O. Preaching weed to a dude that has been sober for 11 years. I don't think that pee break was spontaneous
Declan Andrew they’re just talking about drugs yo he’s not preaching. It’s just a convo. No disrespect, Steve o was literally talking about doing nitrous oxide. He’s been sober for 11 years like you said. Pretty sure he can talk about drugs comfortably.
There's something really cool about being sober, I'm not an alcoholic by any means but I would drink once/twice every week and have tried drugs at different points. If you can figure out how to be you and have fun without all the bullshit people put in their bodies I think that's pretty cool.
I've never watched any show with Steve-O but I have followed his show and will watch him every time he visits a show because Steve is awesome. Somebody we should all be lucky enough to have in our circle.
@@kostonl I don't think he has any hard feelings about it but it is a bit disrespectful, you don't talk about how fun and amazing drugs are in front of a recovering addict. Kinda seems disrespectful
@@laurene988 I definitely see where you're coming from but even Steve-O talks about it in that same manner with that fake bong hit his brain created. If it was someone else that maybe didn't enjoy talking about the happy side of drugs then it would definitely be uncalled for but even Joe Rogan admits its not for everyone and is only for people that can do it recreationally and responsibly and still be healthy. I dont know man i just didn't see it in that way but I 100% completely understand your point of view but obviously none of it was intentionally said to hurt anyone it would just be Joe Rogans ignorance
As someone who lives in Australia, Plain Packaging did work to an extent, when it was introduced cigarette quit rates went up an insane amount. Sure there’s still the cocky bastards that say “yeah, that shit won’t happen to me” But the point of the plain packaging is that it no longer had the glamorous look that the regular packaging had, it was meant to make you look at the health risks every time you went to take a ciggie out. And it definitely got people thinking harder about it.
This was a great segment. I've had similar experiences. Not a fan of drugs, but, man, they force you in a reality that really makes you look at yourself. Eye opening or terrifying, it's a wild trip.
ryan25067 just taking a lot of drugs doesn’t mean you understand them, often people that are swimming in the deep end don’t realise they’re even in the pool
Joe trying to impress Steve-O talking about and dropping in that he has a friend who sells weed. This guy literally snorted his dealer's blood. I have to laugh.
@Troy Witherman yeah Steve-O had a dealer friend that used to inject his cocaine instead of snorting it. One time Steve-O goes to visit him and the guy is out cold on the sofa asleep, and on the table is a load of left over coke and dried blood. Steve-O out of desperation scraped it all together and snorted the whole lot. Worse thing about it though was Steve-O later found out the guy was HIV positive, so he had to get tested, luckily he wasn’t affected by it and HIV free.
I honestly can say that this pod cast saved my life... I’ve been in such a bad moment in my life and to think it was all a perspective about myself made me so depressed. These two Saved my life
It's proven by physics there are more than 4 dimensions, up to 12. People discounting things because they can't observe them in our reality is a hallmark of close-minded ignorance. Good luck on the next plane with this outlook
Dammm man, the mindset of being an addict is soooo scary and odd. You can't explain what its like unless you've been an addict. But you just are not yourself, you make decisions that are totally not yourself. It's scary in that respect. But if you can get through rock bottom, it will give you a certain maturity, a certain perspective and view on life and stressful situations that only overcoming addiction can give you. Steve-O is the PERFECT example of that. A recovered addict with a complete new lease and take on life.
6:45 I think what Joe is failing to realise is Steve-O is talking obsessive judgment of oneself. Taking responsibility and self-analysing is one thing for personal accountability, but becoming perpetually obsessed with self-analysis and judgment causes unexplainable paranoia. It's a dark rabbit hole that can take many years to come back to the present.
Yeah, but on the other hand, the guy who is an actual stoner somehow manages to come up with a more intelligent-sounding theory about drugs whereas the guy who is sober says that you hallucinate while on a 3-day bender because the drugs are breaking down the barriers between dimensions of reality. I've never heard someone who wasn't on drugs say something like that.
@@ae4164 Eh, yeah, I see your point. Granted, I was more of a downer man than Steve-o here, but I've used psychedelics, abused nitrous and experienced stimulant psychosis (from meth, not coke) but as real as the meth people seemed, it was B.S. I saw a man in a ghille suit crouch down, and boost 3-4 men over my fence. I taped it, and hours later, showing someone, I'd pinpoint the same moment in the video time after time. Weird af cause it was a long still vid of a fence, why see it at exactly 1:19 over and again, wouldn't I error? Anyways, sobered up and saw it was a still video.
Their talk about how your mind changes when you get high/shrooms and you get negative thoughts due to issues you haven’t dealt with hit home . Much respect to steve-o for turning his life around
I had to stop the weed because of the exact description Rogan gave. I ended up too hyper aware of everything, even stupid stuff I said back in school and through the years. It just made everything so anxiously present and hyper real. There were some good experiences, especially with music and as long as I could channel my contemplation. But the anxiety got very noisy and consistent enough that I just had to knock it on the head. I would get random thoughts like "what if my mum calls me crying right now and tells me my dad has just collapsed and died". It was just too real. Weed has never made me feel relaxed about anything. Alcohol, on the other hand... always reliable. I prefer the "blunt" high. Something to shush the mind rather than make it race.
Joe Rogan trying to explain how revolutionary pot is to the man who used to Smuggle pot into asia by eating it and picking it out of his actual Shit is the most hilarious thing I've ever seen
Thing is, there's layers to weed depending on the level you're at as a person. I used to smoke every day through highschool, just abuse it. When I got older, more knowledge, wisdom, awareness of spirituality and all these different aspects of life.. Weed became an entirely different animal. Most people use it mindlessly, as I did and I suspect Steve O did. But once you've opened those gates in your life, weed can be a pretty powerful tool and catalyst for your potential when used wisely.
Alcohol suppresses the enzyme in your liver which processes cocaine, which means that you not only get a bigger high but a longer one if you do cocaine with alcohol in your system. For more info, see the lecture called "Psychostimulants - Cocaine, Amphetamines and Other Psychostimulants" on RU-vid by Dr. Paul Merritt.
@@olindblo Unless you have too much alcohol, its the opposite and you can actually snort yourself sober as youre attempting to mix a long term downer and a short term stimulant. Which leads to heart disease and strokes faster and some die at 40
I had a huge epiphany while on acid regarding the same thing their talking about. It’s legit crazy how much your perspective, and your mental state really affects you and those around you
Isn’t it awesome that he got clean. LITERALLY ANYONE can get clean if they want to. If anyone acts like they can’t do it, just point em to Steve-O. He’s such a great example!
Steve-o abused drugs for the experiences and good feeling he got from it. Other people abuse drugs so suppress their tragic past and all that mental shit. You can’t compare everybody to one persons experience when everyone has a different motivation for doing drugs. Also Steve-o has incredible mind over body, so that must have made his recovery way easier.
@@NickolasBickle steveo had a rampaging drug addiction for nearly two decades. I don't think you can assume he was doing it just for fun and that there weren't any deep-seated psychological issues that he was trying to escape.
@@atticuskoch2965 that’s true, but from what I’ve seen we don’t really have any reason to assume that he was suppressing some type of mental shit either. He is the only one who knows the real reason he abused drugs. All I’m saying is you can’t compare one persons situation to everybody else’s.
Steve O is a great example for inspiration. However, people have to remember that there are millions of people who self medicate because they simply do not have proper access to mental Healthcare services and medications. Telling anyone they can get clean and sober when those underlying conditions are not properly addressed is setting people up for disaster.
@@bonniehowell9206 Jesus Christ. Setting people up for disaster? Please. Why don’t you just try to be a little more dramatic. Yes, certain people have more resources for mental healthcare. As an addict that had zero insurance and 5 cents in my pockets, I am exactly who you are referring to. And yes, I did get clean. And turns out, getting clean was exactly what I needed to get that mental health stability. AND YES. ANYONE CAN GET CLEAN.
Mykah Brogan Steve-o always talks about drugs with other people, joe wouldn’t have mentioned it if it was an uncomfortable subject. He wasn’t, he was telling his personal experiences, as did Steve-o before him.
@Dovydas Simulynas smoking weed can also give you multiple forms of cancer and there are people who have died of for example lung cancer from smoking just green. The intoxication itself from weed, the thc, cannot kill you no, but smoking still poses health risks no matter what you smoke.
@@Charlesbabbage2209 that’s a insanely wise insight. Not a lot of people understand that. Ive only heard a couple people in my life understand the level of consideration and patience drugs give you. (Or just any hardship for that matter)
You can hear it in his tone. He’s like, “Good for you Joe, you’re experimenting with bud and I’ve done coke and gas at inter dimensional levels. It’s the Bad News Bears vs the New York Yankees.”
I love both these guys but Joe talking about pot and shrooms in front of Steveo is laughable. My man just mentioned how he was breathing straight nitrous oxide instead of air after three days of coke... whole other level
@@Suba932 No but Joe is spouting and preaching substance abuse, the truth is the use of any mind altering substance is suboptimal for a 100 % physiologically and psychologically healthy individual, it's just for recreation and Steve-O was telling his story of abuse and how he got sober but didn't get to finish because Joe went on his "18 year old just tried DMT and weed Brah" tangent
Grandmaster Kush lol, Steve-O is always talking about his drug experiences with other people, it’s something he’s okay with. Joe would never even bring up drugs if he knew Steve-o was uncomfortable with it. Everyone making these type of comments, have no idea what they’re talking about.
@@lilgummy9493 Thank you for telling these idiots. Joe was really only mentioning the hyper-aware states that he's reached with certain things and even said he'd pick yoga over weed if forced. Some 5th grader or something thought it was a comment to post about comparing their two "levels" of drug use. Plain stupid.
When he was still married to his first wife Ozzy once shaved his head, killed every cat, 17 of them to be exact and his cats at that, in the house in a shotgun massacre while his wife and children were away. Thelma retuned home to discover a ransacked house covered in cat blood. She found Ozzy under the dining room table bald, crying, and still clutching the shotgun.... and it's THE LORD OF FUCKING DARKNESS by a mile.
dude, i spent years doing meth, alcohol and weed (among other stuff). NOTHING hurt me more, fucked me up more (financially and socially and mentally and physically) than NO2. It was weaker-lamer- but LEGAL! More expensive, and detrimental. The only physical defects i had was from B12 deficiency (NO2), but i had NO lasting effects from meth or anything else. also, was more expensive, and HARDER to quit. But meth and Molly made me higher/feel better. I quit those relatively easily, but NO2 was immensely difficult. Love Steve-O for bringing it to light. No one else talks about it.
I’ve always felt that way too! When you’re quitting drugs 1st step is to cut off all your connections, but with legal shit it’s so much harder. I couldn’t imagine the struggles with severe alcoholism
sure. underrated comment, most weed smokers I know are kinda assholes disguised as cool cats, but once you really get to know them... you'll be like.... bro, I better go and do some yoga
Bro everybody I came in contact with that smokes weed are generally bad people. I mean I was always told that I didn't fit in with my friends and they was right. I wasn't cut for the stoner lifestyle
Had a 10 gram mushroom trip, can confirm everything Steve-o talks about with the dimensions and our senses only normally picking up on 3rd dimensional inputs by default. First mushroom trip I ever had on about 2 grams I felt big time the putting yourself in others shoes and seeing things from a different perspective.
hardness has nothing to do with it. I think what Joe was trying to say was that Steve doesn't have to lock himself down to the point of being scared that one drug habit will lead him down a bad path of abuse. Because there's been the false idea that weed is a gateway drug and that anyone who tries will want to do other 'harder' drugs.
I live in Australia. We now have the lowest smoking rate in the OECD. Plain packaging worked. Full stop period. That guy's lung capacity is rooted. Completely rooted.
I wish i could have heard that conversation about weed back before i smoked everyday. The whole being too sensitive, putting yourself on trial thing is dead fucking on to how i felt but i convinced myself weed was numbing me when it was actually making me paranoid and second guess myself at every turn.
Hearing Steve-O’s voice just reminds me of America, high school summers, being drunk af, getting stoned at sunset with the coolest friends and just living life. ...I’ve always lived in the UK😆
