He sounds so HIGH, this peabrain says 64% of americans are in favor of legalization? In his circle, I guess 100%. Why this idiot is in youtube? Saying it is a win for civilization? I understand medically use is a good thing. But, having, (as this idiots say 64% of americans HIGH), kind of dangerous, no? And what about personality changes for using it, how about of the children born from parents who use it, that do not have a sense between right and wrong. This guy is the best example by the way. Ha, ha, ha!
I like how this man thinks america equals civilization and mankind. And, appearantly marijuana has no limit to its healing potential. Limitless, really?
Good to hear it can help against the cancer, also heard it had higher concentration then cigarettes of cancer inducing agents? Maybe different types of cancer and/or cannabis? More research, or less ambigious results would be useful.
Choosing which your recreational hobbies is more liberating then being allowed to believe and think what you want? Just…so far off.
That cannabis afficionatoes get the liberty to enrich and establish their own subculture is good though, no doubt. I'm also interested to see how their culture will look, from the high to the low.
Alot of words without much substance follows, but he's excited I'll give him that. And it is refreshing to see a pro marijuana advocate be honest about wanting to get high and enjoy himself. Just wish he didn't sound like an idiot doing so. Really, find someone better to represent legalization as it's a huge issue for the US. It affects your economy, the lives of people who partake in it and people abroad who smuggle this in.
I've fucking loved this guy since his first JRE podcast visit. Extremely well spoken and always has wonderful positivity cohesively fit to his arguments Great monologue, cheers Jason.
Boring. It is just a coke enabled rant to justify pot for low IQ stoners. He thinks pot is a way to enlightenment – well, it ain't. It only gives mellow lethargy followed by a day of feeling sad. Pot is a just a short-cut to fake experience of insight for the dim witted.
You know, if you're on Big Think, then at least make an effort to PRETEND to sound smart, enlightened, or like you can add something to the minds of other people. This 'surfer dude' does not seem to fit any of these criteria. Don't read me wrong, I am a huge supporter of marijuana legalization, but hearing this grown man talk like some sort of under-stimulated teenager ("It can even, like, shrink tumors man!") makes wonder what the thought processes of the people who put him on this screen were.
Cannabis is an absolutely wonderful plant with many uses, no doubt about that. Just please try to catch yourself next time you hear yourself saying that you can build a fucking interstellar spaceship with it's leaves.
Nice try Silva… But there is several studies about the danger of marihuana… And most affected system, is the cognitve system (as contrary as u said) with the memory, calculum, bla, bla… I know that meaby can improve ur creativity in the moment (and also makes feels high) but u will pay latter with lost of cognitive skills, amotivacional symdrome, adiccion, beheavior and mood relative problem, etc, etc, etc… And thats the reason because it is not a good idea to consume it
I'd love to try some and see if it helps me calm down in moments where my social anxiety leads to panic attacks, and also of course for the experience, but my social anxiety prevents me from trying to make the social connections required to find a reputable dealer. It's funny, because I live in NYC; you'd expect with the reputation New Yorkers have outside of our state, that I could find a seller easily on any street at any time.
Setting aside most of his expansive conjecture on what he HOPES will be the result of marijuana legalization, I did very much like one thing. As a musician, I know that a the "personality" of a piece of music can vary depending on the venue in which it is played (concert hall, amphitheater, coffeehouse, etc.). Beyond that, historical evidence indicates that the use of drugs (particularly marijuana) can alter both the listener's experience of the music AND/OR the performers delivery of it. As such, I am excited by the prospect of "new venues" in which to perform AND the idea that, as has also happened historically, composers will write music with specific "venues" in mind.
Building on that notion of "changing the venue", if marijuana users no longer associated emotions like fear and rebellion with their experience, how much different would the experience be, AND how might their behavior in this new context generate an evolution with regard to society's perception of marijuana users as a whole?
Corporation profit politics replaced Marijuana as the biggest addiction. Marijuana addiction is real in our world history because it is the population exploitation behind the scene. Religious addiction is real because religious languages become our thought and suppress our voice to communicate facts.
If you think about it in the history all great artists or poets or writers and such have used substances that alters the consciousness and they have created unbelievable work that everyone, sober and with non altered conscious, has enjoyed and appreciated. The irony is that now you can creat mediocre work and the audience would appreciate the hell out of it because they would be all high 😀
I don't have strong opinion one way or another. smoked when I was younger, but did some stupid things. I don't know its harmful but also not sure I need it to enjoy life. And I do believe it will be a complicated adjustment.
So…having a skewed view of reality will make reality better? Is that what he's saying? I'm not buying it. I see no benefit to society to legalize. I've seen too much destruction of property, relationships and responsibilities to ever agree with full fledged legalization. My only exception is maybe for medical reasons, but all studies I've seen have been too small to be conclusive and most arguments are anecdotal.
You have consciousness what amount to take?when to take and when not to?
Not everyone has the same senses as like you.Everyone has their own choice m.For some it will become habit that can’t leave.In such a case they will addict to it continuously and Atlast they even went out of their own responsibilities.
Don’t come to the cultural beliefs.Everyone has their own lines, boundaries and limitations for their own self being.
Your level of growth crave for experiences.Take it if you really worth it for you and for others but not with force.
A testing cup never be a crime as I already told you but take it from whoever want to give it.Dont force or harass or trap.
A particular place is there to go and have such experience and experiments.not every one interested in that and no need to force others to do that.if you want the income there are lot of ways to get it.if you want the experiments and experiences there are official ways to get it.not every cup of tea is
Yours or mine to do that.

Burning in their own experience never be a problem but burning others due to that.

I don't understand why there are so many hateful comments on Jason SIlva videos, his videos are amazing., if you don'y enjoy them, carry on.
True win for civilization would be the legalization of LSD.
Marijuana legalization proponents have to wage an uphill battle against conservatives to legalize marijuana.
idiot
he kees rambling on and on.
Mfg, when does he stop
it's a bit exhausting but it makes sense.

Get someone with better big think, please.

This guy is annoying, and he seems to be being wheeled out as some kind of spokesman for psychedelics.

Make a brand of weed that doesn't get you high and see if people still complain. If they do then you'll know they only want it legalized to get high.
Smart as f*ck.
There's a manic quality to his speech that I find a bit off-putting.
Nice try Silva… But there is several studies about the danger of marihuana… And most affected system, is the cognitve system (as contrary as u said) with the memory, calculum, bla, bla… I know that meaby can improve ur creativity in the moment (and also makes feels high) but u will pay latter with lost of cognitive skills, amotivacional symdrome, adiccion, beheavior and mood relative problem, etc, etc, etc… And thats the reason because it is not a good idea to consume it
how many plant do you have in your basement?
he is high during this whole time
He's great, the ideas are great he just waves his fucking arms around annoyingly!!!!
Study high, take you tests high, GET HIGH SCORES, MAAAAAN!!!!
This…. this was beautiful. He explained it like no other person would/could ever explain the positive effects of MJ. Immediately LIKED this video.
I wish I had some of whatever Jason is on here.
"Intersubjective life worlds" What the fuck does it even mean?! Sounds like he is making stuff up…
I dont think weed is all this guys been smokin'
If only the dude where saying all of this. Man.
I'd love to try some and see if it helps me calm down in moments where my social anxiety leads to panic attacks, and also of course for the experience, but my social anxiety prevents me from trying to make the social connections required to find a reputable dealer.

Is he under the influence of Durban Poison?

That was awesome. Some of his predictions on how marijuana will affect our culture might be a little verbose, but its still awesome.
Yes this guy gets it
Yes!! Exactly what I've been thinking. Cannabis can, and will, change the world for the better.
Anyone know where I can get that shirt he is wearing?
Corporation profit politics replaced Marijuana as the biggest addiction.
Marijuana addiction is real in our world history because it is the population exploitation behind the scene. Religious addiction is real because religious languages become our thought and suppress our voice to communicate facts.
Just wondering,why is he talking so fast?
Too much coffee?
If you think about it in the history all great artists or poets or writers and such have used substances that alters the consciousness and they have created unbelievable work that everyone, sober and with non altered conscious, has enjoyed and appreciated.

Guided marijuana hike…I would totally lead that!
It's just me or he's baked hard? 😛

100 years ago no one thought smoking was bad for you, everyone did it.
now, no one thinks weed is bad for you, everyone does.
100 years from now…. who knows?
