SPEAKER_2 (0:04)

The Joe Rogan Experience.

Joe Rogan (0:12)

How long do you have to stop smoking weed before you'll test positive?

Gillian Robertson (0:17)

Usually about five days.

Joe Rogan (0:18)

Five days before a fight?

Gillian Robertson (0:20)

If you're smoking straight flour. But if you're smoking oil, dabs, anything like that, then you need a little bit more time.

Joe Rogan (0:28)

You got it down to a science?

Gillian Robertson (0:31)

I figured it out when I tested positive one fight, because I was smoking oil and I stopped five days out.

SPEAKER_2 (0:38)

Oh, smoking oil.

Joe Rogan (0:40)

Those wacky kids and their dabs and oil. You guys go too far. You guys go too far.

Gillian Robertson (0:46)

There's way too many ways now, I feel like.

Joe Rogan (0:49)

You go to dark places. You do dabs, you go to dark places.

Gillian Robertson (0:53)

Yeah, especially with dabs. I'm like, that's the next level extreme.

SPEAKER_2 (0:57)

Yeah, I'm not interested in that.

Joe Rogan (0:58)

You just get too far gone. You don't even know how to move your hands right.

Gillian Robertson (1:03)

There's this stuff that... I'm a medical patient in Florida, and there's stuff you can get from the dispensary. It's like little nose drops.

And that shit makes you... Literally, I feel like I can't form sentences.

Joe Rogan (1:17)

Is this a spray?

Gillian Robertson (1:18)

Yeah, it's just like a nasal spray.

Joe Rogan (1:20)

There's so many wacky people in Austin spraying ketamine up their nose. It is a real issue. We had a girl go into a K-hole at our comedy club the other night.

Yeah, and her boyfriend's like, she just did a lot of ketamine. And they're like, Jesus fucking Christ. Do that at home, you nuts. They're doing ketamine and going to see comedy.

SPEAKER_4 (1:40)

From the moment I got here, it's been offered to me frequently.

Joe Rogan (1:42)

What is going on?

Ketamine's a fucking tranquilizer, right? It's a powerful psychedelic too, right?

SPEAKER_4 (1:50)

It's also available in clinics for people to be like, you know, PTSD work and stuff.

Joe Rogan (1:53)

I feel like there's a lot of people that are doing it like every day, though. Have you done it?

Gillian Robertson (1:58)

No, no, I've never messed with anything like that.

Joe Rogan (1:59)

I took a little of Duncan's.

Duncan had one. I think he made it in his bathtub.

SPEAKER_4 (2:03)

What did it feel like? Do you remember?

Joe Rogan (2:05)

Weird.

But it was very little. You just take one pump. So I took like one pump. And I was like, this is odd. But I know the source and I know where he's getting it. And it's all medical grade and legit, but it's like, what is that?

Gillian Robertson (2:21)

I like a lot of natural things better.

Joe Rogan (2:23)

THC nasal mist.

Well, yeah, I guess marijuana is the ultimate natural thing. I was just saying that I had a, I hurt my back a little bit. It tweaked a muscle. And it was locked up. And I put on this CBD MD Recover Cream.

I mean, that stuff is insanely good. It's incredible how much better I felt. It's amazing that CBD has that kind of power.

Gillian Robertson (2:48)

Yeah, I've never used a topical cream like that.

But I've used pills and things like that with CBD. And I feel like it definitely does make a difference. I don't know. It's a huge difference.

Joe Rogan (2:58)

Huge difference. My friend Dave Foley had real bad arthritis in his hands. And he started taking CBD, and all of a sudden his hands started working fine. It just took a while.

Your body is filled with inflammation. And CBD is just an awesome way to get rid of inflammation.

Gillian Robertson (3:15)

Especially as a fighter. It's like everything is inflamed constantly.

Joe Rogan (3:20)

Who needs CBD more than fighters, right?

SPEAKER_2 (3:22)

And who needs marijuana more than fighters?

Joe Rogan (3:24)

Just to fucking chill. The stress that you go through on a regular basis is so bonkers. If you really think about it, you're around all these other human beings that are going about their day, driving their cars, going to work. You're preparing to throw bones at girls. You're preparing to strangle people. You put people to sleep for a living.

That is a wild thing to do, sister.

Gillian Robertson (3:49)

It's like pre-fight when I'm sitting there and I'm feeling all my nerves. My boyfriend, he's told me, he's like, you need to be thankful for this because he's like, most people don't get to experience shit like this in their life. Most people don't get to experience these kinds of feelings, these extreme feelings because they just have their regular jobs. It's like what I'm doing is something crazy.
