He said: “I guess one of the rare times I go back to that communist shithole commonly known as California,”.  Rogan further added: “That fucking place is so crazy. You know, you can’t get these(Flavoured Nicotine). I had a friend of mine, my friend Moshe, was here the other day, and he’s like, “Oh, you have flavored. You can’t get flavored nicotine. Imagine you can’t get flavored nicotine.”
