Joe Rogan Slams Dr. Drew's Views On Pot

No offense but I think I know my own body.
When I cut back on smoking pot alot of things changed, I have a hard time believing my lack of appetite and constant anxiety was "all in my head" I asked around, I talked to people, many of whom experienced the exact same symptoms.
You think I'm full of shit? Fine, frankly I really don't care. But when you're smoking all day everyday and find yourself needing more and more weed just to maintain that same level of high, there has to be drawbacks. I felt them, I experienced them, it was a very dark and depressing moment of my life.
Sorry to "chime in."

No you don't understand what I mean. I mean physical versus mental issues. There are two types of withdrawal and psychological can be powerful, just not to the point were people believe they will literally die if they don't get their fix (and they may) and try to take the drugs violently with a knife--or something similar. Anxiety IS a psychological issue! The lack of eating can EASILY be a mental one and I daresay is one, because the original starting "munchies" side effect is a mental one TOO! You CAN get that! You did get everything you can get. Your experience was a negative one, many people do not have that. I'm glad that you decided to have the strength to stop and end the problem before it escalated--and I WILL agree that it can escalate from here out of sheer curiosity, of course it can.

I'm not saying your full of shit here. This is just my own experience with weed. I smoked for something like 10 years non stop and two of those years I was smoking high-grade drow and nothing else(And I'm not talking 2 grams a day it was more like 15 mainly cause I was getting it free.). I eventually had to stop to get a job and when I did I had no visible signs of withdrawal period. Maybe I'm lucky but I know I'm not the only one as I know several friends and relatives who have had the exact same experience. Ya sure I might crave a joint every once and a while but it's exactly like craving a hamburger or a steak it doesn't cause me harm in anyway. I had no panic attacks, no problems with appetite except I didn't gorge junk food like I did sometimes when I was high. Again this is my own experience with it I'm not denying yours. Though like I said I know many people who have had the same experience as I did. I leave it to others to be the judge.


And in my experience people who do lose appetite and become depressed after stopping smoking usually had those symptoms beforehand and that's why they turned to weed in the first place, either that or they were particularly weak willed individuals and exhibit addictive personalities.(I don't mean that as an insult to anyone just stating the facts)

@ghark
1 - I'm not sure which swipe of Chris Hedges you are referring to. If it is in regard to the Moral Landscape I can only comment that Hedges takes every opportunity to inject himself into the spotlight. Having read the Moral Landscape I can say that the ideas Harris presents CAN be challenged by legitimate thinkers, of which Hedges is not.
Hedges game has been to misrepresent Harris' point of view as written in End of Faith. I would go so far as to call Hedges an all out liar. See my post in this thread:

2 - Where here is Sam blindly racist? He states that acts of terror are more likely to be carried out by young Muslim men than by 5 year old girls or grandmothers.
If I said that black athletes are more likely to be basketball players and white athletes are more likely to be baseball players would that make me racist? Because in terms of professional sports that simply IS the case. Note I am not saying WHY that is the case - I am simply saying it is and the statistics prove it.
As I have said before Sam is not racist, but he is honest about who is most likely to have some bad ideas and he does not like bad ideas.
3. Sam is not a pacifist but he is not a warmonger either. As I listened to the entirety of the interview I noted he had a very nuanced idea of when war, or physical violence of any kind, is justified.
One last link regarding Hedges:
Here


Shouldn't the definition of terrorism (of which there are many) be carefully examined before making that statement? I assume you are using the 'American mainstream media' version, which of course means, an act in which a colored person with a beard tries to inflict injury or death on other (usually white) people. If the definition is not looked at with mainstream-media-tinted spectacles then it would not be a stretch to say that the 105,000+ documented Iraqi civilian casualties since 2003 were caused by American (and allied troops) terrorism. Political and resource motivated civilian slaughter on a massive scale (and on foreign soil) sounds very terrorist-like to me. Using this line of logic, would it not make more statistical sense to worry about young to middle aged white males having access to military training than scanning middle aged Muslim men at airports.

My point is not to blame the US troops, Australian troops were also involved, my point is simply that someone of Harris' intellect should be above the simple fear mongering and use of blatant misleading generalizations that he's demonstrating in this video. He was one of my hero's for a while there, and seeing him for what he truly seems to be leaves me a bit hollow inside.

As far as Hedges goes, he seems to be on the mark most of the time, and is an excellent speaker, however I thought his shots at Harris were pretty poor form (during his book launch) because it just seemed to be a blatant publicity stunt, so I agree with you on that to a degree.

Please take in mind My BS meter couldn't handle more than about 25-30 mins of the video, and as @LukinStone mentions, Harris explains some of his comments in more detail later in the video, I just couldn't make it that far unfortunately. Most of what I was hearing was self-gratification, "a large American city has about a 50% chance of having a nuclear bomb set off in it within the next decade or so", racist comments and some war mongering, there's only so much I can take

Interesting, but his notion of a global society requires renewable energy at the base of it, rather than fossil fuels.


indeed indeed.
and maybe fossil fuels need to be more properly viewed as a "means" to renewable energy, rather than a competing source.

sorry, i just opend the video and didn't vote. I didn't realize how long it was.


Not to worry, it is sort of a niche video... gotta be either a Joe or Tony fan to really appreciate it. That said, if you don't know either of them and have 2.5 hours to blow, you'll get a great view into them.
