WWL-4 TV in New Orleans interviews Ethan Nadelmann about the 2007 International Drug Policy Reform Conference, marijuana legalization, the gateway theory, and zero-tolerance theory (if you bust small-time crime, you will prevent more serious crimes). Nadelmann refutes all of these arguments and invites the city to the conference at a discounted rate.

  • Keep it up man i'll spread the videos...if you can get the vids of the actual conference that would be amazing

  • WOW THIS VID IS AMAZING! thanks guys for sharing. btw what the interviewers were asking is not nesessery what they believe, it looked to me like they agreed with what he was saying. they were just proposing the questions from the perspective of the audience who dont know much about the topic and were fed political propaganda from the beginings of their lives.

  • This man is on spot!!!!! good job!!!!

  • The bald guy is so right

  • it was made illegal on lies, the jobs lost from this doesn't amount to the trauma that people suffered going to jail, lives ruined, and families broken apart. the gov just needs to tax it already ready.

  • Legalize cannabis

  • Surely regulation and taxes would be beneficial. But the people fighting legalization would lose their jobs, so of course they argue against it... But like any other politic of this kind, benefiting a few in detriment of the majority, it is doomed to be put away in the chamber of humanity's stupid and violently destructive deeds.

  • Unfortunately I suspect you're right. I wonder if there's a way to make it worth it to them to legalize, how can we make more money that way? Surely regulation and taxes would be beneficial? But the people fighting legalization would lose their jobs, so of course they argue against it.

  • A agree wtih abbey..

    Kind've like the guy who interveiwed that economist... (Forget the name, to lazy to look it up tbh)

    He asked common answers the VIEWER maybe asking..

    To give the guy a chance to responde...

  • I think the interviewer is just asking the obvious questions so we can hear a good response. They kind of have to ask questions like that.
