What was said
""There's a lot of shenanigans with weed in this state right now where there's a lot of alcohol lobby money and a lot of people are trying to ban weed and they're trying to make it a felony.""
Joe Rogan says there are “shenanigans” around cannabis in Texas, alleging alcohol-industry lobbying is influencing efforts to restrict hemp-derived products and escalate penalties, including proposals to make some conduct a felony. He argues the state should regulate and tax cannabis rather than clamp down, and suggests lawmakers are acting irrationally or corruptly.
