I don’t usually watch news or social media sensations, but this one I felt was important.
One reason is because as far as a well known interview shows, I feel Joe Rogan is about as good as there is.
Another reason is because Elon Musk is a very interesting, high profile being involved in quite a few subjects of great implication.
I’m still not sure about if I trust Elon or not but I can say one thing for sure. Taking one puff and OBVIOUSLY not even inhaling is about as stupid a reason as anything for loosing stock value, trust and partnerships.
For one: it was legal.
For two: canabis has been proven to be the best medicine on earth and far more healthy than alcohol or tobacco (both of which are legal).
Three: he didn’t even inhale (obviously)
Four: he said he doesn’t smoke.
FIVE: and most importantly!
He says it’s not productive for him. Which means he’s committed to productivity which is what you want in a business leader. Productivity means profits.
What’s REALLY interesting is that Joe said immediately how it may be dangerous to his stock value. Then slightly less interesting is that many people watching commented something similar as well.
Then BAM stock plumits. The mainstream is quite predictable. In all honesty I think he was a bit drunk and having an inebriated time.
My personal opinion and experience with canabis is: that it has many health benefits and could replace 90% of all pharmaceuticals. It has many consciousness expanding benefits as well.
I also feel it makes me less productive and in the last 5 years have rarely smoked for that exact reason. I have to many projects going on and high aspirations.
Though I still support it and feel it should obviously be legal as well as more accepted and common use.
When used consciously and holistically it has many great benefits with no or low side effects. Also it does influence everyone differently and thus may be much better for some than others. One thing is for sure. It should be legal and the stigma about it is simply brainwashed reactions.
The whole interview was very interesting and I highly recommend the time to watch.
They talked about many interesting and important topics of which I shall get into more in posts to come.
