Taken from JRE #1337 w/Dan Crenshaw:

  1. I for one appreciate his slow approach on seeing the data. America thought smoking cigarettes was healthy (even though the corporations knew it wasn't. Yet they advertised it as healthy) for decades and look how that turned out. I'm not saying pot's bad, i'm just saying stop the sensationalism bullshit and pay attention to what's going on.

  2. When I first started smoking I had friends that would push me into hitting it even when I told them I was good and I ended up getting way too damn high every time I smoked and I ended up only really liking it to fall asleep if we smoked late at night. But once I smoked with people who let me go my own pace, I started to like weed. You gotta be able to take it at your own pace when you smoke or it’s just all types of bad for your experience. Smoke with people who care about your pace and can make sure you stay smart when you smoke, stay safe kids

  3. Im from Colorado. The ONLY issue we have with recreational marijuana is people from out of state coming in state, purchasing and selling it out of state. They should have made it to where you had to live in Colorado for so long to buy it recreationally and if you get caught trafficking it out of state you go on a list where no dispo can sell to you at all.
    The positives to this? Less and less young people are dying from consumption abuse, heroin addicts are able to turn to pot, and i can actually stand my neighbors loud ass truck in the mornings.

  4. I don’t like scotch but it’s not my business to stop others from enjoying it. It called freedom of choice. No one has the right to tell another what they can do with their bodies

  5. Crenshaw could push his point a bit more on the danger for young people.
    I highly doubt Joe gets more creative/productive, but the man is damn productive running the most popular podcast in the world and is ripped while doing it. Besides he is a grown ass man.
    However, I have seen it happen way too often, in my personal sphere and professionally in psychiatry clinics (I live in Amsterdam), in my adolescent peer groups that young people get addicted (psychological or physical, still addicted) and cannot achieve their potential academically. Which means they’ll drop out of school or severely underachieve. Which is an atypical kind of long term damage that this soft-drug can do, because under achieving during this vital time of your life can quiet badly limit career options and success later in life.

    I did read a paper that concluded a temporary 7 point IQ loss for a week after one joint. Got to admit I don’t know the source for this one by heart.

  6. While I disagree with Dan Crenshaw on this issue, I respect his perspective and his willingness to have a conversation and leaving legalization to the states at the very least

  7. Enhances community is bullshit joe maybe just your people. Recreational marijuana is legal has it stopped crime, has it reduced the black market? What we find is marijuana dispensary is close to middle schools, around grocery stores. The smell from factories goes into neighborhood. The reality is activist have had a head start because their is no data. They can push their views because no one challemges it. But as things are becoming clear joe's arguments will slow become unreasonable

  8. As a police officer in California I can tell you that alcohol causes FAR more problems and causes FAR more harm than weed. I've gone to a few calls of someone high one weed but none were violent crimes. I've gone to MANY calls with drunk people and a lot of them were violent. As far as driving goes, we may not have a testing that proves they are over a certain limit but we do have a test that shows that they have used and we use standard field sobriety tests just like with alcohol. The testing exists and isn't a problem. I don't think Crenshaw has spoken to a single law enforcement officer about the differences between weed and alcohol.

  9. Weeds illegal but doctors prescribe addictive pain pills that make you feel worse once you stop them, hmm nothing wrong with that . Where weed can help someone in pain and not get them addicted but that's a no no cause it's the devil's lettuce but here's some xanax good luck getting off them.

  10. Joe is on point , the other guy is full of $hit because he’s using 2nd hand info. Also there’s a huge difference in smoking weed when it comes to strains static’s hybrid and Indica. Indica ftw, give him Indica and he will be couch locked all day but give that guy Aaricia and he’ll go loose canon like Joe said it’s that discipline that individual has , how is that any different than alcohol.

  11. I think he wants to agree with joe, but doesn’t want a video clip of him saying it. Might make his more old fashioned constituents jump ship

  12. Leave it up to the dumbasses in the comment sections to be too high to listen to the eyepatch man without hearing what he said and getting defensive to try and justify their high ass. For the record, I used to be a hardcore smoker, can't anymore because of a medical problem I have (newsflash, pot doesn't help all conditions, it might even worsen some), but I'd still like to smoke if I didn't have my condition. Point being, his brain is more developed than yours.

  13. i dont care about people using it recreationally. I personally dont like it either. I dont like what it does to me makes me tired and lazy haha

  14. I love Crenshaw, but he's wrong here. I've smoked one time. It was whatever…it's not much different than drinking. Yeah, the sensation is different, but ultimately you're mentally inhibited in what is generally not a dangerous way. I'm glad he's open to it though, cause I really think he's wrong here. I just don't see why it's illegal.

  15. Um no on the fentanyl part, by every metric Fentanyl comes in through our ports and not land borders. This has been shown hundreds of times with the few that don't get through. You can move ALOT more fentanyl through the ports than on people across the border it makes no sense to move it that way especially since it is more likely to be caught than at a port.

  16. Based on how this guy talks about weed "I just don't like… the sensation." My man has never smoked weed in his entire life.

    But to sit there and ask what "the benefits of it are" right after saying you enjoy scotch, which has no benefits at all other than getting blitzed, is absurd.

  17. They definitely had "slower policy making" with regulating opiates. A few hundred thousand people had to die first. Wonder why that was???
