Because dipshit Joe Rogan does. All that guy talks about is this crap. Taking hallucinagins in the desert.

If mushrooms improve someone’s brain function, it must have been pretty pathetic before.

So I can take a hit off a joint on Saturday night and be fired from my job for it on Monday but these butts admit to using hallucinogenics and tell the public we need to trust their judgement. Sheesh what an upside down world.

It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can't remember your name

This lines up perfectly with the quality of the news these days. Everything is collapsing because of drug use, even at the highest levels.
