In a recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, Joe Rogan shared his thoughts about the corporate world and the potential impact of psychedelics on business leaders. Speaking with his guest, Michael Malice, Rogan urged CEOs to consider the broader implications of their actions on humanity.

Rogan’s conversation with Malice touched on the hypothetical scenario where psychedelics become fully legalized and embraced by corporate leaders. Malice argued that if psychedelics become fully legal and corporations take over, there could be significant downsides.
Still, Rogan saw potential for positive change, saying, “If the corporations do the psychedelics, they’ll probably have a different approach to how they interact with humanity if the CEOs and all these people realize – like you are going to die. And if you are wasting all your time trying to squeeze as much money as humanly possible out of every person that interacts with your company, you’re not living a harmonious life.”
He suggested that business leaders should adopt a fairer approach, saying, “It doesn’t mean that you can’t make a lot of money and sell things, but you can make a lot of money and sell things with a psychedelic capitalist perspective where you’re not trying to do evil. You’re just trying to be fair about it.” He added, “Very utopian.”

Although Malice agreed with Rogan, he noted that the path would not be easy for many people, saying, “They’re not going to like what they see [when they take psychedelics], and there’s going to be a lot of things that come up, and it’s not going to be an easy transition toward a better person.”
Rogan then joked that this shift could make it “much harder to get a good burger,” suggesting that fast food workers might quit their jobs in droves if they embraced psychedelics.

This wasn’t the first time Rogan offered advice or critiques about corporate America. For example, in a 2017 podcast, he criticized the relentless pursuit of wealth, saying, “When you’re pursuing wealth, you’re pursuing wealth at all costs, and that is the ultimate goal … the score that you put on the board. I mean, that’s the Gordon Gekko philosophy – greed is good.”
He went on to mention then-President Donald Trump, arguing that Trump personified this philosophy, saying, “I mean our president is essentially the greed is a good guy. I mean that is who he is that’s what he’s done. He’s pursued wealth at all cost.” he finished his point by stating, “It’s a dangerous ideology for a country to aspire to.”
On the other hand, countless articles, videos, and opinions call Rogan a sellout, and he himself often rubs shoulders with powerful CEOs, business owners, and even politicians. He even called Elon Musk his “favorite billionaire” and said things like, “I will buy Teslas as long as they sell them just to support that dude.”
