What I Am Listening To

I am a regular listener of the podcast The Joe Rogan Experience, often enjoying the varied discussions he facilitates and the diverse group of people he features. I was not sure I would listen to his recently featured “Pot Debate”, as I do not use marijuana or CBD, and I was not interested in hearing what I assumed was going to be a stoner discussion about how smoking pot is a cure all. Well, I was wrong about what the discussion would be and I am better for listening to it. My only previous exposure to Berenson was his recent article in the Wall Street Journal, outlining his position on the negative consequences of pot use. While I respect his opinion (and in transparency I have not read his book) I believe he comes across as not appreciating the importance of scientific study versus anecdote, and this leads him to draw too many conclusions from associative data. Dr Hart appears as rational and reasoned, and even Rogan who is a vocal pot supporter gives ground on the dangers of inappropriate THC use. No matter your opinion, its worth a listen.
