What did Joe Rogan say about ‘Young Jamie’?
As Joe Rogan and his guests went on with their conversation, they came up on the subject of alcohol and drug consumption. The group was discussing the effect a person’s body mass index could have on the amount of substance required to get them inebriated.
During the conversation, Ari Schaffir asked, “You ever meet a guy who can’t get high?” Rogan responded, “Jamie can’t get high off edibles. Jamie has this crazy thing where he can eat like a 1000 mg.”
After the surprised reaction from Schaffir and the others, Vernon said, “To say I didn’t feel a thing off of that, that’s a stretch. But, I didn’t feel it the way it’s supposed to feel.”
‘That’s f***ed up,” said Rogan.
