This isn't a dig at you, but I can't stand Joe Rogan. I've listened to his podcast multiple times, but I find him completely obnoxious and devoid of any substance. He's strikes me as a guru for Affliction shirt-wearing stoners seeking psychedelics out so they can earn themselves badge of honor they can show their friends to prove that they've really been there, man. I think he first rubbed me the wrong way when he first started preaching Rick Strassman's hypothesis--the idea that DMT is released when dreaming, and is responsible for near-death experiences--as fact, resulting in my having to correct this every fucking time anyone in the vicinity started talking about DMT. It didn't help when he had Bill Burr on (who is absolutely hilarious, and a thousand times the comic Rogan is) and barely let him get a word in. It's frustrating as hell. If you really want to listen to a DMT guru, listen to some of the Terence McKenna talks on youtube. He was probably insane, but he intelligent, well-spoken and fascinating, and he's where Rogan got most of his ideas from anyway. I haven't seen The Spirit Molecule yet, but I've listened to several of the interviews featured on it and they've been good so far. Rick Strassman's book, which the movie is named after, is also a really good place to start.
He's daft, that's for sure. His stand-up comedy is even more unbearable. But, I loved his podcast for the guests, again naming Joey Diaz, and I suggested it cause he just talks about DMT a lot and you gotta admit he's goddamn enthusiastic. I'm pretty sure I first really heard about it from him actually, at least that was the case with Ayahuasca, so for me it was still very intriguing. Again, that's why I stressed that actual knowledge be acquired before watching that or the Spirit Molecule :D You'll get what I"m saying when you watch the film. I need to learn more about Strassman. McKenna, however, is my favorite psycho. I don't care about his crazy, the guy was a character that will go down in modern social history as a thinker for the ages. I think we can easily have a rich discussion on his stuff alone.
