I’m not a Ben Shapiro fan. He often comes across as a bit smarmy. However, this is one of the best examples of two people of slightly different opinions having a really great discussion without over emotion. Also big respect for saying where he doesn’t have knowledge and not having an opinion. I think both Ben and Joe were both very good in this interview. We need more discussions like this in our society.

[@gregggd9168]

that's what i think is the problem....not too many people can have reasonable discussions regardless of what 'side' they are on. just listen to the other person and then make your judgement. this is a great response by you.

[@kevinbown424]

Totally Agree 👍

[@dday11789]

I’m not a fan of either Joe or Ben. I watched this because of the topic, followed by two people that I do not admire at all. But I must say, it was a great debate. Well-spoken, they listen to each other & aside from Joe about five times, there’s no red herrings

[@dalebatch663]

I agree. I very much love how he says these are my personal beliefs & morals but you’re free to do as you want without my judgement. Just because you don’t agree with something or an opinion doesn’t mean there’s judgment or meanness. Simply, “respectfully disagree”. So many people want to argue now or if you don’t agree they take it personal 😹😹😹 not everything is mean.

[@chillblue1650]

That’s because they actually both agree that marijuana should be legal. This is a middle ground that they agree on. Even people who generally have different views/opinions can have things they agree on. Contrary to what the media wants us to believe, humans aren’t always polar opposites despite some contrasting opinions.

They say the brain develops until you’re 25 but I legitimately don’t know if I would have even stayed sane until then without weed. I became an EMT at 18 years old and saw as well as experienced firsthand- horrific things before my twenties had even begun. At twenty years old, I came home from shift every day and would just stare at the wall for 45 minutes before moving because my mind was just such a wreck. It was all getting to me before I even realized. I eventually tried cannabis a year later after switching fields and it really gave me the “break” I needed to examine what was happening to me and make changes accordingly. I still struggle and have anxious days (I am professionally diagnosed with PTSD now) but I’m past the “All day every day” phase of cannabis addiction that some people such as myself experience, and I can finally implement its various cannabinoids into my life intelligently and wisely for improvement.

[@lvckystrash]

glad u found something that helped!!!!! and i completely agree

[@Heopful]

On the other hand I smoked weed at 16 and it gave me mental disorders the echoes of which persist to this day(depersonalization/de-realization/some sort ot panic/anxiety/psychotic attacks), it probably changed the course of my life in a vastly negative manner. I'm 95% it wouldnt've happened had i not smoked. I'm more or less fine, on the surface im probably more 'normal/healthy' than most of the retards in here that spout the benefits of weed and i suppose in some way im even grateful for the experience, however one wonders.. I will say that the whole reason for trying it was it wasn't allowed therefore i fully support legalization.

[@Matteow00]

@@Heopful If someone has genetically predispositioned schizofrenia then weed can trigger it earlier than they would normally get it. I wonder if that's the case with anxiety etc. In my personal experience I was anxious before and after weed and sometimes when I got too high it was especially bad. Mixing THC with CBD weed helped a lot because CBD has antipsychotic properties.

Amazing podcast between two critical thinkers. Struggle is absolutely a part of life even if people are doubtful because they would rather live in a world of comfort. You learn and grow as a human being in times of turmoil if you have the right mental compass guiding you through tough times.

[@BadDriversOfNapa]

Your comment should be top comment. I don't know if you believe in the afterlife but I've followed literally hundreds of near-death-experience stories where people claim to have gone to "the other side" during clinical death and most have reported that they met with higher beings that reminded them that life is supposed to be difficult and challenging for the purpose of spiritual growth and learning. There's so much cohesiveness with their stories that I believe life after death is probably true. This knowledge has given me the strength to cope with hardship more effectively than the average person. I've been through the lowest of the low and I came out of it a much stronger person with more wisdom. I really feel like I meant to go through terrible stuff to get where I am now. My mother in-law on the other hand, doesn't cope well with hardship. Not to sound mean, and there's no way to sugarcoat it, but she's an extremely stupid and unintelligent person. She's 70-something and not at all wise or seasoned. She's a "young soul" and comes across as someone who's learned absolutely nothing. She feels that life has cheated her, that everything's unfair and that she should never have to suffer or have any hardship. Her mentality is so immature and unrealistic. She doesn't see the opportunities for lessons in hardship. I do. That's why I don't sulk or feel sorry for myself for the challenges I have in life. I view it as something I was meant to experience and for a good purpose. Life is what it is and we must make the best of it and learn to live in the now and enjoy what we have.

[@TheAceInfinity]

@@BadDriversOfNapa Very detailed, I appreciate your comment and perspective. In my own life, this relates to the practice of Stoicism. Marcus Aurelius was evidently able to deal with all the hardships he was dealt with in his lifetime--living by the philosophy of "the obstacle is the way." When you look at everything as either a lesson or a success, rather than a failure or a success, it can change your life dramatically; as long as you have a healthy perspective on what the lesson might be, and are truthful with yourself during the reflection process. I honestly believe that many people would become immune to depression, if they practiced this way of thinking. It's easy to say that you're depressed and reach for crutches in life while you claim to be a victim of circumstance. It's arguably more challenging yet more virtuous in my opinion, to take control of your own life and to understand that there are things outside of your control. There are many people that have it much worse than you do. Nothing is stopping you from making do with what you've got while moving forward, other than your own mind. The mind is analogous to a "tool" in my view; it's your choice on how to use it effectively and also your responsibility to keep it sharp. I think there's far too much stigma around some of these substances. If you view them as a tool, they can be used for great things but dangerous depending on circumstance as well. Nothing is ever viewed as black and white when I think about things. I think it's probably bad for younger adults with developing brains. I think that benefits can be gained by those who need it for a variety of appropriate reasons in my book. I have the same viewpoint on psylocibin. My theory around that, is that developed brains with less neuroplasticity are stuck in certain ways, and chemicals like this can re-open pathways that normally wouldn't be open, as a way to "reboot" the system. As this relates to the studies around aiding with depression, and seeing my father develop depression over time, this makes a ton of sense to me. Especially, given the fact that you hear stories about people curing their depression on their own, once something "clicks" in their own mind about their own life during self-reflection. Mindset should be something that society explores more deeply in my opinion. It's much more important than any other topic.

[@BadDriversOfNapa]

@@TheAceInfinity Yes, indeed. I agree with just about all of what you said. Ever since gaining wisdom about what life is really about, I no longer have a victim mentality. I now see every hardship as an opportunity for growth and an opportunity to do something great. My wife is being forced out of a job that's always made her happy......being forced out because of physical damage to her hands brought about by the job itself. She's going to have to go outside her comfort zone and relearn how to deal with difficult people for her next job (a job that isn't so physically demanding as her current one is). But I remind her that when one door closes, another door opens. People get so wrapped up in self-pity and victimhood that they don't see new opportunities right in front of them. They sulk so badly they don't look for solutions. Any time things get tough, I start looking for solutions rather than sit around and sulk. Every problem has a solution or a workaround. My take on recreational drugs is this. I don't do them myself, but I don't frown upon people who do, unless they're doing them to "escape" their problems. Problems are meant to be faced head on and dealt with, rather than running away from them or sweeping them under the rug. I do like to drink, but never to the point where I'm drinking to numb myself or escape my duty to face my problems. And never to the point where I'm poisoning my liver. Moderation is key. I added a new song to my playlist which got me thinking about what my "drug" is. The jazz chillhop group _Down To The Bone_ has a song called "Music Is My Drug". It got me to connect the dots. Music IS my "drug". Jazz and chillhop will always lift my mood when I'm down and make me feel energetic and ready to take the world by the balls. Music gives me a boost when I need it. So, it's the endorphins from the music giving me that "high". I don't use that to escape my problems but rather to give me that needed boost to then face my problems with more confidence. Now, I gotta go listen to that song again...... lol
