#2. Joe Rogan fires off an unexpected take in light of Brittney Griner controversy

Joe Rogan recently pointed out that many Americans have been hypocritical about their stance on marijuana in light of Brittney Griner's imprisonment in Russia.

The UFC color commentator and popular podcast host said on episode #1846 of The Joe Rogan Experience that people protesting Griner’s release are the same ones who remain quiet as Americans continue to go to jail for cannabis use, possession, and distribution:

"She's [Griner] already been over there for months. But here's what's important: People are freaking out about this, right? They're freaking out. 'Russia needs to let her go.' We have people in America right now locked up for marijuana, and they've been locked up for f***ing years – for years and years and years. There's not one, there's thousands of them. So what, they're not good at throwing a ball into a net? Is that what it is? They're not good at that one thing that we like to watch, so those f***ing people don't get let out?"
