Ask Jamie, he would know.

Whitney Cummings (0:17)

Jamie, get on that. I'm sure there's a Reddit forum for that.

Jamie (0:20)

Last time I tried.

Whitney Cummings (0:22)

Last night with those smelling salts, people doing the smelling salts, I was like, if I even inhale that, I feel like I'm going to start crowning.

Joe Rogan (0:28)

Yeah.

It's very funny how those smelling salts have made their way from the studio to now at the club. Everybody's doing smelling salts.

Whitney Cummings (0:38)

Between the kratom and the smelling salts.

Joe Rogan (0:41)

You gotta keep the kratom away from Duncan. That motherfucker drinks cases of that stuff. It's so crazy.

We get there.

Whitney Cummings (0:48)

And is kratom naturally occurring? It's like a plant.

Joe Rogan (0:52)

It's a plant. Yeah, that stuff is the live free or whatever it's called. What are those things called, Jamie?

What is it called? Live free?

Whitney Cummings (1:03)

That's the brand?

Joe Rogan (1:05)

But they used to have them at like Sun Life. You know that place?

Whitney Cummings (1:10)

Organics? Yeah.

Joe Rogan (1:11)

But then, you know, you're not supposed to drink. They're that big. And you're supposed to drink a half a bottle. But they're not clear.

So you have to kind of like hold it up to the light to see where half is, you get to guess like what half is. And a lot of people were just drinking the whole thing, and they were getting fucked up.

Whitney Cummings (1:28)

Yeah, there was a time when you were out of town, and I was at the mothership, and everyone was doing like four or five things. I was like, you guys, when Joe leaves, we can't all just get addicted to drugs.

Like, this is, like, when you're out of town, it is a little different up there.

Joe Rogan (1:41)

Well, it's kind of an opiate. It's kind of, I don't know, what exactly is kratom?

It kind of is an opiate.

Whitney Cummings (1:47)

It's legal?

Joe Rogan (1:48)

Yeah, it's legal.

I had a guy that was on my podcast once that used to be an opiate addict, and then he started taking kratom.

And they were selling it as pills, and he said, well, if you take a small amount of it, it actually acts as, like, a stimulant, but if you take a larger amount of it, it's a different effect. So I said, how many do you take? He says, I take 10 I go, you take 10? He goes, I take 10 before I work out. I'm like, okay, I'll try it. So I took 10 I was high as fuck.

It's a weird high, because it's like I felt like, you know, I'm pretty aware of my body. So I'm like, my motor skills feel perfect. I don't feel like anything's wrong. I feel like I could go do stuff. Like I'm not like, like drunk or anything like that. I go, but I'm definitely affected. So what is this? Would this affect judgment? Would this affect your reaction time? Like I shouldn't drive like this.

Whitney Cummings (2:46)

But pain tolerance down, that's probably good for working out.

Joe Rogan (2:48)

I guess. Is it though?

Whitney Cummings (2:50)

I did kind of used to like to smoke weed and work out.

Joe Rogan (2:52)

I like smoking weed and working out. Smoking weed and working out makes me feel like I know what my muscles are doing.

Whitney Cummings (3:00)

Yeah, you like feel every focusing more.

Joe Rogan (3:03)

Fibers and shit. You know what it's really good for? Technique.

Like when you learn martial arts technique, like there's certain things about like kicking a bag in particular.

When I'm not, when I haven't smoked weed, I mean, I've been doing it my whole life, so I know how to do it. But then if I smoke weed, I feel like where the little leverage points are. I feel like where the torque comes in. I feel like the, I feel the weight distribution. It's like just you're more sensitive.

Whitney Cummings (3:38)

Just more present in your body.

Joe Rogan (3:40)

It makes you so much better at pool. It makes my pool game like, yeah. There's a term in pool like a ball.

Like say if we're playing nine ball, and you're better than me, you would give me the eight ball. That means it's a big advantage to have the eight ball. That means I don't just win by winning, by making the nine ball. I can make the nine ball or the eight ball. So that's like, it gives you a ball. That means, so like when I smoke pot, I'm one ball better.
