Joe Rogan Experience #1939 - B-Real

the joe rogan experience train by day joe rogan podcast by night all day
it's good to be here bro good to see you my friend yeah we're up and at him
what's going on man
chilling man working hard as always escape from la escape from la man that you
know every time
we go on tour that's that's what i look at like any shows all right we're
getting away for for a
little bit just take a breather i hope la comes back i really do i hope it re-emerges
is what it
used to be or better yeah you know i believe it it can too sure and it it
possibly might man but it
it it's gonna take a minute before we get the right people in there i know
running the spot who are the
right people though that's the problem that's that's hard to say right because
i mean it's it's
just hard to trust any politician these days man i mean my friends have hit me
up like hey when are
you gonna run for mayor i'm like i'm running for mayor are you crazy bro you
would win i probably
would oh my god you would win that would be the curse of me right it would be
the curse bro they
would go digging deep into your past exactly yeah they'd find a bunch of liars
distort a bunch of
facts true that come up with a narrative as much of an open book as i've been
you know and open
about everything i've i've i've done yeah they'll always dig deeper to try to
find more especially
when you're in that kind of spot you know for sure also if you're an open book
they'll still rewrite
your chapters they'll rewrite the job go in there and go no no no no this is
this what's changed this
around and make it a lot worse than it really was absolutely it's a dirty game
who fucking wants to
that's the problem like who wants to do that job you know what it's crazy the
people that want to do
that job these days they're not there to do any work of what politicians
supposed to do they're trying
to get famous you know they want to be famous for something because now that's
it's a seat to be famous in
yeah you know then it's it's it's a shame because people that would actually
maybe do the work they
don't even got a chance to get in there because they don't want to be famous
they're they're trying
to get in there to do the work while others like you know they're like i got
this seat i'm showboating
this all you know this whole run i didn't worry about it at all before covid
yeah i'm like who gives
a who the mayor is it runs la runs they figure it out it's crazy it's chaotic
there's a lot of people but
it works yeah now i'm like oh my god that's important it's so important oh my
god who the
governor is who the mayor is that is super important you know when you're young
you don't pay attention
to any of that stuff you're just sort of living right you're going trying to
make your way and as
you get older you start paying attention to the world and you're like hey wait
a minute yeah once you
have children and once you buy property you're like hey and you're paying taxes
what the is going on
they keep jacking up the taxes in california the tents keep stacking up i have
hope i have hope i root
for them i hope this new mayor i hope she she nails it yeah hopefully she does
something hopefully but it
does cost a lot to live in california these days it's crazy it would be great
if it went to a good thing
like if it cost a lot but everyone was taken care of they deal they dealt with
the homeless situation
they dealt with the crime they dealt with the poverty they dealt with all the
bullshit
but that's not that doesn't seem to be the case it's it's not it i mean you
know like
so cannabis we know generates california a huge amount of of uh you know
capital right
and where did it go where does it go right does it go they don't they don't
ever tell you where
it goes but i could tell you there's a bridge up there on sixth street had to
get the money from
somewhere right yeah well cannabis i mean what is the amount that cannabis is
generating for california
it's got to be enormous yeah it was for a time um for a time it's not anymore
it goes up and down you
know in the pandemic oddly enough people had a lot of money to spend because of
the checks and stuff
like that but now the checks have have run out and they got less money to spend
so you know it's it's
always a roller coaster ride as it relates to what sales will be there it is
right there yeah marijuana
tax revenue one billion two hundred and ninety four million six hundred and
thirty two thousand
seven hundred and ninety nine dollars i believe we're the highest tax state as
it relates to cannabis
and it's crazy yeah look at the difference between colorado which also has a
lot of weed only 423
million yeah they gouge us man i mean we we saved well the industry saved the
state i mean it you know
you lived there for for many years and california was in debt yeah we had no
surplus now we got surplus
we could build bridges that are multi multi-million dollar bridges i had uh mariana
von zeller on the
podcast from that television show trafficked i don't know if you've seen that
show it's a great show
in the national geographic crazy crazy like she's boots on the ground
journalists she goes into the
jungle where the cocaine manufacturers are she went to the congo for the
dealing with people that are
trafficking in the great apes wild show wild shit but she was talking about one
of the problems with
california is it's so difficult to get a license to sell weed regularly that
the the like like illegal
sales of weed are up way more yeah than regular so they're not getting taxed on
that because they made it
difficult for people yeah uh the people that operate legally are are the ones
getting tapped the hardest
because you got to pay for all these uh regulations and all these fees and the
taxation whether you're
in the cultivation aspect of it or you're the retail manufacturer distribution
any of it man i mean it's
the taxation to operate is is high and the taxes on the on the consumer as well
so when you have that
factored in and you got these these guys that are trapping as they call it
right black market style
yeah they're they're making all the money and and and the state isn't really
doing anything about that and
they make it hard to get a license for people who might actually be able to
navigate
the business but it's just so many hoops you got to jump through man so much
regulation yeah yeah
it's unfortunate but at least it's legal now yeah i remember in 2016 when it
became legal we were in the
middle of a podcast yeah we're doing the end of the world podcast during the
election live at the comedy
store and then it came out that marijuana passed and it's legal and everybody
cheered it was it was
amazing the whole place went yeah but it's just crazy that legally like federally
it's illegal yeah it's
still schedule one you know what's crazy is that more states are rolling over
like you know because the
federal government is leaving it leaving it up to the state to decide right and
some states are seeing
what's happening in places like colorado and and where the tax and taxation ain't
so high and they are
actually making a lot of money or the state is making a lot of money through
cannabis they're starting
to consider it right so you're seeing states roll over one at a time like new york
for instance we
thought that should have been like way sooner way sooner but we thought okay
when new york rolls and
let's just say florida and boston roll everywhere else will roll over slowly
and that's and that's
kind of what's happening so i mean i think it's just a matter of time man where
where we will have
it federally legal but we're gonna all pay the price until yeah then mushrooms
then mushrooms mushrooms
gotta make its way through oh man they gotta make it you know that what's crazy
is the studies that
they've been coming up with as of late like how they've been uh using micro
dose and moderate dose
to treat people with uh depression and anxiety and all the other all the other
business you know yeah and uh
you know some therapists are talking about how they're actually using micro
doses to to uh to help people
like let's just say that they had some sort of ailment like migraines for
instance right they they
they say that they can disconnect whatever that is and rewire you know your the
whatever it is causing the
migraines to stop them yeah we're the worst dudes to be talking about neurochemistry
yeah we are
yeah rewire yeah i mean supposedly uh uh psilocybin rather is one of the very
best things for for that
yeah for uh curing addictions and people that are dealing with like real
serious problems with ptsd and
uh people that are dying and have massive anxiety it alleviates end of life
anxiety for them yes people
with anger issues too i mean you know it's it people that pop off for any given
reason man you give them
some mic micro doses and they're the nicest people in the world yeah i mean
that's the that's for sure
uh a factor with uh cannabis too man i mean cannabis makes people so much
friendlier yeah you know you
you don't i think it just it puts you in a relaxed state yeah whether you
choose it or not right um
i've i've stood out of a lot of altercations being as high as i am because like
you know somebody might
throw an insult here and there and i may not even be paying attention to them
yeah whatever
whereas if i'm not i'm totally paying attention to that and it escalates and it's
going to escalate
yeah which is the worst because a lot of us that are high strong without it man
it sort of grounds us
out yeah yeah in a good way exercise and and weed exercise is a great
combination
combination for being a peaceful kind person absolutely and good health yeah
and good health
because weed keeps you young man yeah i gotta tell you well it definitely keeps
you relaxed which can
help you stay young yeah at least give it give you a young mindset yeah the
stresses of life can aid you
yeah it's like just concentrate on the petty it's just not worth it man it's
not worth it
yeah you know like we used to do mushrooms a lot and i i told that i told a
couple of stories when i was on
the last time i was here but you know that it used to be a part of our our
journey man like we'd get on
stage mushrooms and like just go on the ride yeah um after a while i couldn't
do it anymore i couldn't
like be on stage and be totally in the melt we call it where it's like where it's
above micro it's above
moderate like you're a full melt right as they say and it was harder for me to
be in front of people
doing that because i had like these these issues deeply rooted that i was angry
about and every time
i got to that place that's what i'd focus on and i didn't want to feel that ugliness
so i waited till
i got over whatever that that issue was and then i started you know slowly
doing mushrooms again
micro dosing first and then moderate and i started feeling good about it again
and i realized how much
you know it actually helped me push away from whatever that issue was when i
did it the first time
yeah just something you were focusing on right yeah you just needed to work out
yeah i often say if
you're if you're going to try mushrooms beyond micro yeah right like try to
deal with whatever issues
you got before you go in and have a friend there to help you like to be in the
world there with you
you know that's what everybody used to use a sitter that was always the big
thing if you if you did
mushrooms you should have a sitter you know in in uh in the best case scenario
you would have
qualified professionals that would assist in psychedelic therapy which which is
what happens
for a lot of people you know i know people that have done that in other states
where it's legal or
illegal and where it's legal i mean it's amazing you can go to a place and
someone who understands the
experience and knows what to do can help you through it and i know people that
have made some big
breakthroughs in their life and just really just sort of reassessed how they
in
