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.
