 Joe Rogan is one of the most influential figures in media, far surpassing traditional news sites such as CNN and Fox News.
Rogan, who is a vocal cannabis user and supporter, recently spoke on his show with Aaron Rodgers, quarterback for the Green Bay Packers. During their conversation, the subject of Brittney Griner’s Russian imprisonment over cannabis was discussed. Rogan strongly criticized President Biden and Vice President Harris for calling for the release of Griner while also allowing the War on Drugs to carry on in the U.S. Last month, after Griner’s sentencing, Vice President Harris called for her immediate release, adding that she, Biden and the entire administration are “working every day to reunite Brittney, as well as Paul Whelan, with loved ones who miss each of them dearly.” Joe Rogan pointed out that despite their words, the President and Vice President have not even come close to fulfilling their campaign promises on cannabis. During a Vice-Presidential debate in October 2020, Harris vowed that a Biden-Harris administration would take action on cannabis reform, saying, “We will decriminalize marijuana and we will expunge the records of those who have been convicted of marijuana.” Rogan pointed out, “They said that they were going to make marijuana federally legal. They said they were going to exonerate prisoners who were in jail for non-violent drug offences. None of that has happened.” Earlier this year President Biden did pardon some drug offenders, but according to records only nine were related to cannabis. Hardly fulfilling his campaign promise.
