Joe Rogan criticized Texas’ restrictive weed policies during JRE MMA Show #188 with Paddy Pimblett, arguing that the state’s crackdown on THC products may have contributed to Republican electoral losses.
The conversation began with Pimblett discussing Supernatural Logger beer, which he had invested in, before Rogan shifted to Texas’ approach to weed.
“Texas [ ] up,” Rogan said. “They passed some crazy laws banning THC products and it’s probably costing the election.”
Pimblett admitted he hadn’t been following politics closely, but expressed surprise at Texas’ position.
“I thought Texas was a bit different to that. I’m not a downer,” he noted.
“It should be. It’s [ ] dumb,” he responded.
Rogan then compared Texas’ weed policies with those in other states, arguing that the restrictions were increasingly out of step with the rest of the country.
“But if it’s legal in California, I’d expect it to be legal here,” Pimblett noted.
Rogan agreed, saying, “It’s legal in Colorado. It’s legal in New York now. It’s legal everywhere. Texas is [ ] backwards when it comes to weed and it cost them the election. Part of what cost them the election.”
However, Pimblett made it clear that politics wasn’t something he particularly followed or enjoyed discussing. “I haven’t got a clue about politics,” he noted.
Rogan agreed with him, saying, “It’s all gross. I dislike it. I don’t like politics at all. Much more interested in MMA than I am in politics.”
