The commentator was thrilled to share the news of the US House of Representatives voting in favor of the decriminalization of marijuana on a federal level. Joe Rogan shared a snapshot of a news article from Fox News that reported with the headline, “House votes to decriminalize marijuana at federal level.”

Rogan captioned it with “LET’S F**KING GO!!” as several celebrities from the UFC and Hollywood resonated with the same feeling. UFC fighter Chito Vera wrote, “I’m getting high now” in the comment sections. Though the House has voted in favor, it still needs to be passed by the Senate in order to legally decriminalize marijuana. In the recent bill, two Democrats voted No.

Joe has a massive following on social media with around 14.8 million followers. The UFC commentator is very active on his social media trying to voice his opinions on different matters. Check out Joe’s post below:

MMA and the use of marijuana have not gone hand in hand for several years. Many fighters have been banned from the sport due to the consumption of marijuana. The most famous case of marijuana in MMA is when legendary UFC fighter Nick Diaz received a long-term ban for his usage of marijuana.

Though Joe is all in for the legalization and decriminalization of weed in the world, the UFC commentator certainly believes that marijuana is a performance-enhancing drug. Following the Nick Diaz saga, Rogan was called on The MMA Hour show hosted by Ariel Helwani in 2012 to let his views be known on the matter.

“I think it is a performance-enhancing drug. A lot of Brazilian guys use marijuana before they train. A lot of American jiu-jitsu guys use it before they train. And they don’t do it because it hurts them, they do it because it helps them,” Rogan said talking to Ariel Helwani in an interview back in 2012.
