Key Quotes

Okay, here are 5 direct quotes from the Joe Rogan Experience podcast transcript that highlight interesting insights or opinions:

  1. "It would take the place of so many different pharmaceutical drugs and that's a big part of the problem. The other part of the problem is the alcohol industry. Oh yeah, that would suffer for sure, right? Yeah. And they've done studies. They know and they lobby. They they work on it hard. They do not want marijuana becoming legalized in the in the whole nation. Alcohol is way worse." (This quote encapsulates the argument for marijuana legalization by citing its potential as a pharmaceutical alternative and the lobbying efforts of the alcohol industry.)

  2. "When California made their laws where you could have legalized recreational marijuana, what they also did was if you grow it illegally, it's only a misdemeanor. so the cartel could just grow in it's a misdemeanor deal and if they catch people that are illegals up there they don't do like so it's the perfect spawning ground for cartel grow ops." (This highlights the unintended consequences of certain marijuana legalization policies and how they can empower criminal organizations.)

  3. "It's It's weird. Exactly the same thing. We're just delusional about it. And we put it under the label drug, which is alcohol. Alcohol is a drug, dummy. It's all drug. Everything's a drug. There's a lot of drugs. Caffeine is a drug. Yeah, exactly. We're drinking espresso. We just stop it. It's just knowing how to use each drug. And the only way you know how to use it is is if people are honest. And if they do studies, you have actual scientists who aren't being paid off to come up with some sort of negative or positive result. You know, that's what it's supposed to be." (This quote questions the societal perception of drugs and emphasizes the importance of unbiased scientific research.)

  4. "Here in America, it's not so much the gluten as what we've done to the grain. About 200 years ago, we started stripping the brain and germ or the fiber and nutrients to make flour shelf stable, also nutritionally dead. Because the nutrients were gone, we enriched it with folic acid, which a large majority of the population can't even metabolize. Therefore, many people experienced fatigue, anxiety, hyperactivity, and inflammation. But then the bread wasn't white enough, so they bleached it with chlorine gas, and the bread didn't rise enough. So they added a carcinogen called potassium bromate which is banned in several countries like Europe, the UK, and even China. Then we wanted to ramp up production. So we started using glyphosate to dry out the wheat before harvest causing endocrine disruption and damaging your gut. So now you're bloated, brain fog, tired, and blamed gluten. But gluten is just the scapegoat. The real issue is ultrarocessed, chemically altered, bleached, bromated, fake vitamin filled wheat soaked in glyphosate. This isn't bread. This is Wow." (This detailed explanation provides a critical perspective on the processing of grain in America and its potential health consequences.)

  5. "But bro, what he did to Bryce Mitchell was just he sent him down. You based him down the made yourself lightheaded barking out at the at the wolf earlier. Yeah. Yeah. I got a little lightheaded. The fact that he was like so relaxed and laughing and like he's just he just knew it was a matter of time and then submitted him and put him to sleep." (This highlights Rogan's enthusiasm for the unique characters and performances within MMA, particularly commenting on John Silva)
