Joe Rogan
The outspoken UFC color commentator and stand-up comedian talks testosterone injections , the pros of pot use , and why he ’ s his own worst critic .
What has your experience been receiving testosterone injections ? At 48 , the body doesn ’ t produce as much testosterone , and I feel better when I take it . I ’ m not advocating taking a hyperhuman level , but a responsible dose on a weekly basis adds a lot to overall health as long as it ’ s under the care of a doctor ’ s supervision . Some guys don ’ t want to admit they need it . It ’ s a manliness thing : “ Oh , you get your testosterone from a bottle ? I get mine from my balls , bro !” But doctors who work in the field of preventive medicine or who have researched hormone replacement and bioidentical hormones are for it because it enhances your health .
You ’ re open about your marijuana use . Why is the myth that pot makes people lazy inaccurate ? Marijuana isn ’ t why you ’ re lazy — you ’ re lazy because … there ’ s a lack of work ethic and understanding of how to get through life and not have regrets . I get my workouts in and all of my writing done , and I smoke pot all the time .
When used responsibly and intelligently marijuana can relieve pain , aid creativity , enhance feelings , and make sex feel better and food taste better . I don ’ t believe in waking and baking and staying fucked up the whole day . If you want to do it , fine , but that ’ s not how I use it . One thing I do love to do is get high and go to yoga class .
