There's Nothing Better Than A Good Ol' Fashioned Joe Rogan Tangent On Drugs And Their Ties To Religion

The best descriptor I’ve ever heard for anything is when I heard Joe Rogan described as, “the Oprah for white dudes.”  Yup.  100000%.  He’s just kinda our ipso fact cult  leader I guess?  I don’t know.  However you wanna describe him though, I personally love him.

Now here’s a little factoid about me personally: I’m not a big podcast guy.  I listen to my own and that’s basically it, cherrypick others on the Barstool network and that’s about it.  If I’m doing anything where I want something blaring through headphones or speakers, it’s going to be music 99% of the time.  Different strokes for different folks.

But I have slowly become a big fan of the JRE.  Only about 100 years late, but better late than never at the same time, and without question my favorite part of his show is when he goes on tangents about whatever he feels like going on a tangent about.  And yesterday?  Yep, it was a tangent that got me hook, line and sinker.

How?  Oh he just went into great detail about how a dude who was helping decipher the Dead Sea Scrolls has a theory that everyone in the Bible was tripping their balls off on magic mushrooms and that’s where we get stories like the burning bush and all that.  But… the thing is, is that it actually makes some sense.  That “Jesus” is some ancient word that means “God’s semen” and his entire story was just lost in translation. So take 15 mins out of your time and listen to this clip, some really interesting shit.

PS – speaking of salvia, I smoked it once when I was 17 and in Myrtle Beach SC for a baseball tournament back in HS.  We bought it at a head shop and I remember you could buy it in grades of like 5-70 or something like that, with 5 being the weakest and 70 being the strongest because obviously.  My one teammate that was hellbent on smoking it immediately pointed at the grade 70 version.  The cashier chick looked at him and goes “uhhh you sure about that?” and he was like yeah shut up and give it to me.  10 mins later we were smoking it on the beach with two homeless dudes.  At least I think they were homeless.  Could have very well just been common white trash from Myrtle Beach.  After a few hits I was on another planet and it scared the ever living shit out of me.  I wasn’t seeing goblins or anything but it was wild and I hated it.  It was at that very time I knew I wasn’t a drug guy.  Never touched a “hard” drug again.  I’m also a huge pussy.
