Is mad honey legal in America? Joe Rogan digs deep into the rules during 'JRE' podcast, fans call it 'crazy a** drug'
AUSTIN, TEXAS: Mad honey has always been considered a safe product. However, in the one of the episodes of 'The Joe Rogan Experience', Joe Rogan and comedian Sam Tallent decided to dig deeper into the substance's legality in the United States.
Rogan had already tasted the fluid and had asked Sam to do so as well. He did, however, provide a caution about its harmful consequences and advised Tallent to experiment with it in limited amounts.
'Is this legal?'
Mad honey has been referenced several times on the podcast, but interest in learning more about the product has grown since the episode aired. Rogan tasted a spoon of mad honey and then offered it to his guest. He sounded perplexed regarding the legality of the substance after tasting it. Rogan asked someone behind the camera, "Is this legal?"
He continued, "Let's find out, it's just honey... This is a gag ladies and gentlemen we're faking it tastes bizarre it's just honey." Then Rogan read out, "It's legal to purchase in the United States," and declared, "There we go, it's legal fully legal it helps in weight management."
The product is legal to buy in the United States, but it is marketed as a nutritional and herbal supplement or cosmetic ingredient. It can aid with health issues such as a weakened immune system, inflammation or pain, poor digestion, anxiety, stress, and allergies. However, it is advised to consume the fluid in moderation because it might be harmful to the body. Allergies, diarrhea, nausea, elevated blood pressure, and heart palpitations are all common problems associated with it.
'Some crazy ass drug'
Rogan's podcast episode left his fans laughing. A fan wrote in the comments section, "Joe never fails to try some crazy a** drug." Another added, "Joe was so scared to try this honey for first time on the pod. Now he forces everyone to take some."
A fan noticed Rogan's contradictory statement and mentioned it in his comment, "Joe BEFORE Sam takes it: "This is totally legal, BTW" Joe AFTER Sam takes it: "Is this legal?" "Yeah definitely my biggest fear was breaking the law," another wrote.
