  • whoa whoa whoa, thinking about the drug issue in a rational manner? this guy must be crazy!

  • I'm an econ major and I agree. Trust meh.

  • this guy is in no way from Harvard.. il bet on it

  • @rizthefiz You're an idiot. I'll bet on it.

  • this guy is a fucking moron, we are talking about weed, not fucking heroine...

  • @MrHockeynut95 well actually he was talking about "DRUGS" in general, not just weed (even though weed isn't a drug) :D

  • note how in the intro it was said that he also supports the legalization of other drugs, which is why he talked about needles. "fer yer health"

  • This dude for President :)

  • OH we got some guy in suit to say it. NOW its true

    I guess the hundreds of millions before him weren't qualified

    Really if he was smart he wouldn't be an economist

  • @Regginyaga you cannot dispute the fact that he does make good points here.. a great number of murders happen due to drugs. if drugs were legal, would there be murder or would one sue the other for monetary value?

  • @beguiledmind shut up faggot

  • @Regginyaga you mad bro?

  • @beguiledmind How many mentally ill people does society PRESCRIBE drugs to, in order to keep them from getting violent? He doesn't make good points. Marijuana makes people docile, and too apathetic to hurt anyone else.

  • I don't think this guy actually knows that much about cannabis...

  • @jewbag2020 Dammit man u know it's hard to tell trollers and stupid people apart =P

  • @jewbag2020 hahahahaha what a name... jewbag hahaha

  • @jewbag2020 I have absolutely no idea where you think you get your facts from. There is no correlation between cannabis and lung cancer. Scientists have tried, even the bias government testers have tried. There is no connection. The reality is, yes it does have carcinogens when you smoke it (so does any smoke) but there have been reconfirmed medical reports through tests and clinical trials in CA, at Harvard, in Spain that THC, the main ingredient of cannabis, has anti-cancerous effects.

  • Comment removed

  • @jewbag2020 no it does not, where did you ever hear that?

    deaths per year by alcohol = 85,000 by marijuana = 0. There is no record in human history of a person dying from cannabis.

  • drugs will never be legalized sorry to say because the govt sells them

  • Also, weed is nice ;)

  • thats one smart yuppie, jks but he is correct

  • I just imagined a bunch of junkies going into a phamacy lmfao

  • @wisebbq1 why is that funny?

  • im gonna go work out to releazzzee those endorphinzzz

  • 4. Marijuana is healthier than cigeretes

  • @bananassassin1 and alcohol 

  • @bananassassin1

    BS - they are 5 TIMES more carcinogenic than cigarettes.

  • @kalel1290 But people aren't smoking a pack of joints every single day, are they?

  • @wexer9

    Lmao but weed smokers need greater doses to get high when they build up tolerance

  • @kalel1290 not true, do your research before making comments like that.

  • @monolunarazul

    drugscience(dot)org/Petition/C­3E.html

    Do your research before blindly fighting for the rights of stoners to consume ilegal substances. You sheeple will never learn.

  • @kalel1290 that "research" was paid by big pharma, sorry I don't believe in anything they say. cheers.

  • @monolunarazul

    Google it, first hit (that doesnt mean get high)

  • @kalel1290 new studies have shown that smoking cannabis actually prevents and fights cancer. that's right read and weep my friend.

  • @bananassassin1 do not know. They also put some shit inside. Altough from what I heard the negative impact on the health of "pure" marijuana is controversial (not sure it is much more dangerous than tabaco). The trick is that if it becomes legal then you can control the quality. But then the producer can start putting plenny of shit in it also. complicated issue.

  • 1. The economy will get better 2. There have been tests that prove that high schoolers get more weed than cigs because its easier to buy weed than cigs 3. It would reduce the amount of drug sellers. thats why marijuana should be legal

  • Give people these facilities: youtube com/watch?v=czZ7nr8g3eg

  • Ive figured out a system that might actually work for legalization... If the gov wont take full legalization then there should be levels

    Such as:

    24 grams legal

    48 decriminalized

    More and illegal...

    I can work... And i just made up some random amounts, just an opinion

  • ok america has the harshest laws against pot, but we have the most users prohibition is a waste of time. we are not going to stop smoking so i might as well be legal. that right there is the absolute fact that weed needs to be legalized.

    in Oklahoma possession of hash is life in jail. i though humans were smart?

  • @Wornskibum holy shit life in jail? damn im glad i live in cali if i get caught up its just a ticket idk bout has but for bud its just like a 100 dollar ticket and hash is bomb

  • @italianstalion4 Someone very creative.

  • Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. Unless you want to use marijuana like the founding fathers did, then it's shoot first, ask questions later, put you in a cage, and forget the happiness part too.

  • who the fuck takes marijuana with a needle????

  • @italianstalion4 I think it's a new way to take the drug. I believe you boil down the weed into a liquid, then draw it up into a syringe and then inject it into your ass. Then because of the effects of the drug, your asshole distorts time and thinks that anytime is a good time to shit. With the new method of ingestion, it is recommended that the person wears diapers.

  • @blabblab1212 lol wtf are you serious? why not just smoke it. alot easier lol

  • Comment removed

  • @italianstalion4 Marijuana... and other drugs.  Who the fuck listened to the video????? Not you apparently.

  • @italianstalion4

    Me, got a problem?

  • @italianstalion4 He's not talking about weed. He's talking about other drugs. Heroin for example.

  • @italianstalion4 youve never used a needle bong? man you got work on bong building 101. Lol who knows why he brought that up with marijuana...

  • @italianstalion4 He was talking about drugs like heroin. It is impossible to inject any form of thc, which I'm sure you know and that's why you made that comment, but I just want to clear it up for ignorant people.

  • @italianstalion4 the narrator states that he supports legalization of not only marijuana, but MANY OTHER DRUGS, AS WELL. come on, pay attention

  • @italianstalion4 If you are talking about what he said in the video... your an idiot. If you actually LISTENED they said at the beginning of the video he was talking about more than just marijuana! So obviously he wasn't talking about marijuana, he was talking about other illegal drugs!

  • love the first point.

  • I like thisvideo because the reasons that this smart guy from HARVARD

  • Legalise

  • i feel sorry for this guy,he has done all this work for no reason.even if a fuckin genious said this shit,it would not be enough to get through the governments thick sculls .legalize it,and if they dont than us marijuana users need to do what we will never do in our lives,get violent!!

  • He doesn't have to get through to Government. We need fine minds like this to get through to as many people in society as we can. When enough of the public understands the real facts, the politicians will follow suit because you can always count on a politician to swing whatever way they can to get the most votes. That's all they really care about. 50%+1 of society in favour is not enough but it's getting there. There is still way too much ignorance about this topic in general.

  • i agree w/ this video... but wtf do needles have to do with marijuana

  • MY IDOL

    

  • people need to take this vid...and post it like EVERYWERE

  • Great video!

  • thank God for intellectual potheads. but if the world ran on logic and reason, we wouldn't need economists to point out the obvious.

  • youjizz

    

  • soo.... Why don't the government listen?

  • @xaxie1 Because granting further freedom's is currently not within their interests.

    Only the reduction and infringement of the freedom's we already have.

  • @xaxie1 Like Hitler said: ""The government should not become a constable of public opinion, but must dominate it. It must not become a servant of the masses, but their master!"

  • if things remain the state and way they are now in, he will never make career. And it's a big shame. I hope he becomes President, though, still.

  • Why don't we just legalize every drug (cocaine, meth, pot, etc). You would still see all of the benefits listed but wouldn't we all agree that this is a bad idea?

  • @christrocfan Nay, by allowing alcohol and tobacco to remain legal, the government has set a precedent. If something is worse than the legalized precedents, then they(heroin, cocaine and meth) should remain illegal. Now, if something is relatively benign compared to the legalized precedents, then it(pot) shouldn't be criminalized.

  • @zekdom But if you look at recent studies you will find that pot is more dangerous than smoking. By your own logic pot should be criminalized. Even if you don't believe the studies that say pot is dangerous, you can't argue that there are conflicting studies. This means we don't know for sure the effects of this drug in the long run and should therefore criminalize it to protect society.

  • Comment removed

  • @christrocfan The majority of studies that have adjusted for confounding factors has proven that marijuana is healthier than tobacco. Not to mention, the majority of studies that say otherwise, usually didn't adjust for confounding factors. Just read the medical journals, Alcohol 2005 and the Journal of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh 2010, they both state that many marijuana smokers also smoke tobacco, and that needs to be taken into account when studying the cancer risk.

  • @zekdom amen man amen! that is exactely right, you can get drunk and kill your liver and really mess yourself up and that is perfectley fine, but I can't smoke a joint (which is way less harmful then alcohol or tobacco) and get high? what's wrong with this picture? anyone? common now lets end this stuppidity and legalize something that never should have been illegal in the first place

  • @DustGoldman Thank you muchly :) Agreed

  • So, why haven't CNN, FOX or any "news" organization had him on their shows? HMMM. Maybe because he's from Harvard? Who would they get to counter him? HMMM

  • The real leaders of the world dont want this to happen... keep the American people in control..

  • sHOW THIS TO THE WORLD.. ESPECIALLY BRAZIL, THE MOST ALAWAYS LATE COUNTRY

  • U.S. gov't policies are unbelievably stupid, but getting stupider all the time.

  • this guy is an embarrassment to Harvard University

  • this guy should be our president

  • I have two statements to make.

    1. Even after mountains of case studies, the FDA allows Pharmaceutical companies to provide medication to the public which if you read the labels may cause, vomiting, diarrhea, blindness, paralysis and death. If the public is "mature enough" to make decisions, realizing these dangers, why are they not being given the opportunity to make this choice for all drugs?

  • 2. Morally, there is no difference between Colombian coffee beans and cocoa leaf. They both are stimulants but caffeine is sold openly on every street corner cafe and consumed publicly when cocaine is only available underground? Alcohol is the number one cause of car accidents. And the number one cause of death is cancer, mostly from cigarettes. With all of the illegal drugs being used, why are they not on this list?

  • I've never thought of the gun argument. That's very true. I have friends who deal, and they need a gun. But if dealers were eliminated, then there'd be no need for a gun for protection.

    Well... unless you think a weed shop would rob you.

  • I carry a gun and yes this man is right. If I knew when I left home someone wasn't going to pull a knife or try and beat me to death with a bat I wouldn't have a need to have cold steel digging into my ribs. The fact is the GOVT won't legalize weed despite it having the ability to reduce violence in people. You can't smoke weed even though it doesn't make you violent but doctors can give out Ambiens which make some people extremely violent.

  • Ask the Dutch

  • Law Enforcement Against Prohibition LEAPdotCC Let's get smart America! Get off our prohibition high horse and get smart! It's time to change the world! Legalize! Stop the violence and support of criminal cartels! Stop lying, kids have better access today than they ever have! School NOT Prison! Get the young people out of prison!

  • It doesnt take a Harvard economist to figure this one out

  • @Intergalactiic it might not, however those that are opposed probably will only respond to the fact that it is a Harvard Economist saying this, change it to guy with long hair on why marijuana should be legalised, and see how they respond to that

  • @Intergalactiic Yeah, no sh*t. Look at Mr. 140 IQ squirming, trying his best to act like he's talking to adults.

  • I'm a libertarian. I find it annoying when my neighbors getting high leads to air passing into my apartment. However I don't think there is any ethical reasoning for legislating that other people can not use the drugs. I'm all for legalizing, because I think the restriction of human choices when those choices are not harming others is simply wrong. The benefits to other nations would be incredible. Walmart will destroy organized crime by lowering prices.

  • High guys! if you're a marijuana enthusiast please do me a quick favor and sign this petition to legalize marijuana for Maine, this is not just to legalize marijuana either, this is for the sake of humanity, here in Maine if this passes we will be able to utilize industrial hemp and all it's benefits. Over Grow!

  • this was posted in 2009 .

  • Hes a professeur at Harvard university, hes studied the subject for 15 years and has a very detailed report called "The Budgetary Implications of Marijuana Prohibition" if you want to see more details on paper check it out. its sick and so true, you cant stop a plant thats been used for thousands of years before the judgement and control of a democratic government that feeds it's citizens lies but when 50% vote for legalization, i will have true hope for democracy. i dont as of now its 2 obvious

  • I do agree with this man, but I question his credibility. Then I noticed the empty bookshelves. But hey, street smarts are also very necessary to get ahead in this world right now. Reading Is Fundamental!

  • @Juan321C he's a visiting professor. Thus he has been given an office that is not permanent, and has no need to fill up the shelves with books

  • @b0sscake I've never heard such retarded comments from a person.

  • wait did he just say that it will reduce HIV? are you sure this guy knows what he's talking about what a dunce

  • @b0sscake In regards to HIV he's referring to needle sharing for heroin users, nothing to do with marijuana.

  • lets all listen to this liberal pig fuck. no.... it wont do anything to reduce crime dumb ass just going to make it bigger like walmart, (no you say?) during the prohabition days it actually reduced the ammount of people drinking, once it was lifting the people went crazy and started drinking again and you know the rest. same thing with weed, you legalize this and every little boy and girl out there in america will go crazy cause they see their favorite lil wayne talking about how cool it is :D

  • @b0sscake thats not true. Crime, usage and deaths(including homicide and suicide) all went down once prohibition was lifted...

  • thanks to the people who disliked this video you made the like/dislike bar look like a joint

  • @KKillaJ I had to scroll back up for this one!!!!! Hell yeah, thumb it up!

  • @KKillaJ You smoke green joints? What planet are you from?

  • @CertifiedGooner729 u never seen clear rolling papers before?

  • @KKillaJ

    ahahah

  • @KKillaJ lol don't lose ur imagination! :D

  • This guy is stupid or at least his points are there is way more WAY MORE WAY BETTER reasons why hemp should be legal.

  • for harder drugs like heroine like in some countrys in Europe they have certain places where you can go do it safely in a controlled environment where you have medical attention and they wont let you go stupid and over dose wouldent that be better then having them go down a dirty ally way with no help drugs are always going to find there way into countrys

  • why do governments like America and Australia and all them country's in brace war and try and get as many people as they can to go die for stupid reasons and then they make out you are a bad person when you like smoking weed when weed makes u happy have a good time i know why because the governments make more money off raiding people and making them pay fine its safer then drinking alcohol you dont wont to go around fighting people because they said something

  • weed should be legal it has been legal for thousands of years dating back to like 7000 B.C its only been illegal for the past 60 years and you can use it for other things then getting hie you can make clothes out of it rope cars make food out of it i dont know why it became illegal but it should be legal and if someone dosent like it then stay away from it but people who live in free countrys like Australia you should have the choose to use it or not who would vote marijuana legal

  • @kingwhetu You made good points! It became ilegal because JP Morgan,Rockefeller and many others for the following reasons.

    1. Its a renewable energy resource. It could power our cars and trucks, so big oil companies shut it down.

    2. It has healing properties that big pharma does not want us to have. A sicker public=more money.

    3. It would destroy the cotton, and wood industry over night. It grows 10 times faster than a tree and is easier to harvest than cotton.

    4. Hemp clothes = 15yr durability.

  • I think he is going a little too far...We good with marijuana !

    Otherwise its rational logic.

  • Comment removed

  • reduced gun demand that alone is why marijuan will not be legal hello America supplies arms to everyone if now no one needs weapons what on earth would they do?

  • this guy gave a seminar on this at my school

  • @medun402

    1. Alcohol makes you dumb as well. You've probably seen dumb alcoholic in your life

    2. Many people drink often and drink to their detriment.

    3. People have the right to make decisions for themselves.

    4. Not really, because most people who want to try it can get it pretty easily as it is. All you have to do is talk to a drug dealer. Somewhat annoying tho...

    5. If people have poor will, they will probably get addicted to porn, or sniffing glue, and they are doomed regardless.

  • What a lot of people fail to realize is that the reason drug violence and the like result, is because of the prohibition. Pot would be sold in stores, not though dealers. No dealers, no exposure to cocaine, heroin, any illegal drugs. Like alcohol, prohibition just causes problems. You legalize cannabis, USA becomes rich from selling hemp and marijuana, and less people get hurt.

  • "The Union - The Business Behind Getting High" watch this if u havent already.

  • why is a man talking about bud and itervinus drugs totally diffrent and no matter how high i get im always worryed about safty hah wtf ! only this is when im high i cant spell obviously lmao hah

  • I smoked weed everyday for a year, then stopped for 2. Now I only smoke before bed and on weekends, it helps with my insomnia.

  • does this ass know that you dont need a syringe to do pot?

  • I think it should NOT be legalized. Haven't you seen what happens to people who smoke on a daily basis? With all their brains and ability to think and shit? You'll say, it happens even when it's not legal. Well the number of those people will be increased for sure if it's legalized.

  • @medun4o2 - You're a fucking tard! Keep buying into the propoganda you simple brained sheep.

  • @bubbalaska so you don't have proper arguments to contradict me.

  • @medun4o2 weed is a drug with many positive qualities to it. Dont just take my word for it go and do some research for yourself. Anything when abused or used to excessive amounts is clearly not good for you. if you have a headache or a cold you will take a tylenol or advil to help reduce the symptoms, thats ok. Does this mean you are going to consistently take tylenol until your body is completely numb and your liver shuts down? Probably not. I have ADD and horrible hand writing. If I smoke a j

  • @closstown1 I wasn't comparing pharmaceutical drugs and pot. Just sayin, regular use fucks up your brain

  • @medun4o2 before class, i can focus great and my neatness increases ten fold. Does this mean i smoke myself into a stupor on a daily basis? No. It means that i have found my own positive benifit to smoking pot. And btw weed doesn't permanently fry your brain, it TEMPORARILY blocks some of the connections between the synapses in your brain, causing a slightly slower processing speed. This seems to be much less harmful than the side effects listed on some of your average pharmaceutical drug ad :)

  • @closstown1 daily use does something more than temporarily. i didn't compare weed to pharmaceutical drugs, damn it. weed messes with your brain. after i smoke, i need at least 2-3 days to recover my ability to think rationally. it has a positive effect on you when it comes to that shit - ok, but how many are like you?

  • @medun4o2 do you have any evidence whatsoever that daily use "messes with your brain"? Sorry that doesn't sound like a very educated opinion to me.. And there are tons of more positive things other than the two that i listed there. Others like me? How about Micheal Phelps (Olympic gold medalist), Barack Obama (US President), Michael Bloomberg (Mayor of New York City), Stephen King (famous author). Like i said, just do some research instead of bringing about your fictional opinions. Thanks.

  • @closstown1 Hell yeah bro! Steve Jobs for Christ's sake. Dude Christ probably smoked weed.

  • @medun4o2 do you have any evidence whatsoever that daily use "messes with your brain"? Sorry that doesn't sound like a very educated opinion to me.. And there are tons of more positive things than the two that i listed there. Others like me? How about Micheal Phelps (Olympic gold medalist), Barack Obama (US President), Michael Bloomberg (Mayor of New York City), Stephen King (famous author). Like i said, just do some research instead of bringing about your fictional opinions

  • @closstown1 my opinion is based on what I have personally witnessed. There's this guy, for example, who started smoking less than a year ago. From less than one time per week he gradually increased it to 3 times a day. As a result he isn't able to concentrate as much as he used to, grades become bad, etc. Pot is the main thing in his head at the moment. And he's not naturally stupid or sumthin. Anyway, it's not only him to whom this happens.

  • @medun4o2 ya sure if i just sat around all day doing nothing but smoke pot I'd have bad grades too. Sure smoking pot makes it easier to be a lazy cunt, but it doesn't force you to become one. Im in my second year of engineering and smoke weed every day, so i doubt that's the reason why your buddy can't pass his high school English class. Maybe his excuse?

  • @closstown1 it makes you pretty susceptible to becoming one. Like I said - it's not just one case. Smart ppl transforming into retarded-pot-fucks (I can't think of a proper word). That particular guy - he doen't give a fuck about it. Moreover, it's not as harmless as some potheads try to make it look like. Legalize(or even decriminalize it) and you'll see how many will start smoking without having a clue about the hazards. I can control how often and how much I smoke, but not all are like that,

  • @medun4o2 people who become "retarded-pot-fucks" were going to lose their jobs anyway. They were going to have problems without cannabis even being a factor. It can be abused, sure. You can abuse anything. You can abuse fucking cheeseburgers. If someone fucks up their life, you can't just blame the drug.

  • @FierySockHat well said brotha.

  • @FierySockHat Are you certain about that? I know(have known) several guys who had every chance of getting into university,a decent job and so on, who started smoking and simply went down.If it hadn't been for the weed , they would have prolly done those things i mentioned aboev. I'm asserting that because I personally know them. SUre that happened because of lack of will,but if you legalize it,more and more people with such lack of will are going to start smoking and the same will happen to them

  • @medun4o2 just stop dude. You have no idea what your talking about and everything you say is being torn to shreds. You have zero facts to back your statements.

  • @medun4o2 weed doesn't transform you into a "retarded-pot-fuck", this is ridiculous and clearly has no proof. I could really care about your lazy cunt friend. I never said weed is harmless i simply disagreed with your points about it "messing with your brain" and "making you a retarded pot fuck". I'm not saying we should start selling bags of pot as a side dish in a happy meal, i'm saying make it available for responsible adults, such as myself, to obtain it without being treated like criminals.

  • @closstown1 sounds appealing, but is there an adequate way to sift out responsible adults from the others?

  • @medun4o2 there's no need to sift anything adults can make their own choices.

  • @closstown1

    1. Weed makes you dumb. As a person who clearly smokes pot you must have noticed that.

    2. To reach that state of being dumb you need to smoke often. Smoking often is usually achieved by being addicted and vice-versa.

    3. Most of those people don't have the will to quit smoking or smoke rarely.

    4. If it's legalized, the number of people who smoke pot will increase.

    5. A significant part of them will also have poor will...

  • @medun4o2 ...Now that's just an assumption, but you can't prove that it wouldn't happen either.

    6. This can be solved by selling marijuana only to eligible ones(responsible adults). However, a way to sift those out of the others is needed. Such thing doesn't exist and even if it existed,abuse would occur.

  • @medun4o2

    7. If having personally witnessed something clearly unambiguous, which has occurred several times by almost the same circumstances, with virtually the same results, doesn't classify as 'fact', then I don't know what does.

    8 - you can't base your opinion about the whole judging from the exceptions.

  • @medun4o2 nope haven't noticed that it makes you dumb. I have noticed that i'm halfway to becoming an engineer and have smoked daily for 4-5 years though. Weed is not physically addictive, therefore easy to quit because there is no craving for it. Some people just are too closed minded and immature to realize how pot actually works. And numbering your shit like that just made you look like a 7 year old.

  • @closstown1 you could have read my shit though

  • @medun4o2 Blame the drug? He doesn't sound too motivated in the fist place...

  • @FierySockHat i meant he doesn't give a fuck about the fact he's addicted

  • @medun4o2 read the bottom first

  • @RonPaulHatesBlacks Please explain to me where you get your belief that MJ shrinks the brain?

  • Lol I can already see lots of legal nightmares if marijuana was legalized. But even if it's not legalized Hemp can still serve an abundant amount of beneficial purposes!

  • It is rather impolite. I made an unflattering reference to his appearance, then I made an obscene and insulting comment pertaining to the way his corpse will be treated posthumously.

    Okay?

  • @cowbot2, كنت قبيحة، موظر شعر.

    عندما يموت، وآمل أن يتم دفن ملفوفة جسمك في الذبيحة رائحة كريهة من خنزير.

  • @g17y5wb like we can read that??

  • reduction in guns? i mean i agree with the legalization of marijuana but heres just another liberal saying how owning guns are bad when its the exact opposite

  • Dont you think theirs a reason why the illegal? Making durgs cheaper arnt going to stop crime and prostitution, I know that the life expectancy of a drug dealer in American is upsetting but their just going to move onto something else on the black market. Marijuana can give schizophrenia to an undeveloped brain. In Ireland their was a big thing on banning "Head Shops" that are fake drugs, at least the amount of people halve in consciousness town has reduced.

  • Get a life stoners. It's illegal because of the danger to your bodies.

  • @TTUsucks88 In monumental quantities it MIGHT be a harmful. But there have been 0 reported deaths directly related to Marijuana.

  • @TTUsucks88 have you experienced these dangers yourself?? No so shut up. this guy has more education than you do, 15 years of studying marijuana, what about you??You probably just listen to what the media has to say, well really what the media is saying is what the tobacco company made up long ago, so people would smoke their product instead of marijuana, marijuana was a threat to their business, and they did all they could to fool the people.

  • Who the fuck is going to argue with a Harvard fucking economist

    Just shut the hell up, this man is leaps and bounds smarter than you

  • @Ravidist Argument by authority is a logical fallacy. You can't claim that his opinions are all valid just because of his title.

  • Well, This is how i see it. Opinions are formed by what we have experianced, school/education/work all fall under experiance. That is not to say that those who have experianced less (ie: less educated) cant have valid opinions. But what it does say is that since the harvard economist has experianced more education than someone who hasent furthered their education as far would mean he would be able to make a more "well educated" opinion. It is not black and white however, you can study physics

  • @TTUsucks88 and not know one bit of history, if asked an opinion on history his answer is most likely not valid. So the middle ground in this area is where does this persons area of expertise overlap the issue? Remember education is not the only expertise someone can have. This means that its impossible to say he has a better opinion or worse opinion than the next guy(assuming he is basicly educated and experianced in society, ie: electrical engineer).

  • @TTUsucks88 What we can conclude is this guys reasoning is solid, REGARDLESS of his education! The fact to the matter is this guys opionion is true and weed should be legalized, but you cant say he doesnt have a valid opinion because his is well educated, in most cases he would have a better educated opionion because of his experiances. To sum it up: Legalize WEED!

  • @beaverinzone251

    He understands the effects of legalisation, so you should listen to him more than anyone else.

  • @beaverinzone251 to sum it up: YOU'RE A DUMB ASS.... pot heads will believe anything they want to believe as long as someone says that they're legalizing their favorite little plant that makes them feel all loopy. If anything DMT should be legal because it is naturaly produced in your brains every night while we sleep and is also the strongest halogen out there. and to all your acid poppers, DMT doesn't make you go insane cause without it you would be insane
