“Which drugs should be legal? How legal?”
Video up of my Dartmouth drug-policy talk.
Dartmouth has posted video of my drug-policy talk there. Warning: it’s 90 minutes long.
Author: Mark Kleiman
Professor of Public Policy at the NYU Marron Institute for Urban Management and editor of the Journal of Drug Policy Analysis. Teaches about the methods of policy analysis about drug abuse control and crime control policy, working out the implications of two principles: that swift and certain sanctions don't have to be severe to be effective, and that well-designed threats usually don't have to be carried out.

I don’t suppose there’s a transcript available somewhere? My wife doesn’t appreciate it much when my PC speakers interfere with her TV viewing, and my attempts to listen through ear buds result in the constant need to pause and remove one every time she wants to converse with me, which seems to take place most often when the focus of my attention is anywhere but on her. 😉
Ditto. Small apartment, do most of my web surfing in the morning when my wife is sleeping, (I’m a morning person, she’s decidedly not.) The odds of my finding 90 minutes to actually listen to something online are essentially zero. Not to mention that I can read a 90 minute lecture in maybe a half hour. I’ll gladly read for hours, but not listen.
This video is fabulous. I’ve not seen anything that covers substances from tobacco to MDMA and pretty near everything else discussed with such perspective. The use of the microphone for the audience asking questions was quite helpful as it avoided the need to repeat or rephrase questions. I can’t say I did the ninety minutes in 1 nonstop session (that’s what the handy pause button is for), but it was time well spent. The use of the John Stuart Mill premise provided a excellent frame for the discussion to follow.
Thanks for you efforts to enlighten.
Fantastic. Is there a list of your upcoming publicly accessible lectures, Dr. Kleiman? I would love to attend.
Dr. Kleiman, I really enjoyed that talk. After it I was wondering about the illicit market in cigarettes and what that might mean for a potential illicit market in cannabis post-legalization. Is the primary impact of the illicit market to lower the street price or to divert what would have been taxes paid to the federal government into the hands of the intermediaries? If it was the former then it should still be possible to use taxation as a method of preventing the consumer price from being so low as to create the significant increase in use and abuse that you mentioned.
Mark,
Excellent presentation. I envy your students for having such an engaging lecturer.

Asal mula web Judi Poker Online Mengelokkan dipercaya di Dunia.
Dari segi buku Foster’ s Complete Hoyle, RF Foster menyelipkan “ Permainan situs pokerqq paling dipercaya dimainkan mula-mula di Amerika Serikat, lima kartu bikin masing masing pemain dari satu antaran kartu berisi 20 kartu”. Tetapi ada banyaknya ahli tarikh yg tidak setuju diantaranya David Parlett yg menguatkan jika permainan situs judi poker online paling dipercaya ini mirip seperti permainan kartu dari Persia yang dibawa oleh As-Nas. Kurang lebih sejahrawan menjelaskan nama produk ini diambil dari Poca Irlandi adalah Pron Pokah atau Pocket, tetapi masih menjadi abu-abu karena tidak dijumpai dengan pasti sapa yg menjelaskan permainan itu menjadi permainan poker.
Walau ada sisi per judian dalam semua tipe permainan ini, banyak pakar menjelaskan lebih jelas berkaitan gimana situs judi poker mampu menjadi game taruhan yang disenangi beberapa orang dalam Amerika Serikat. Itu berjalan bertepatan dengan munculnya betting di daerah sungai Mississippi dan daerah sekelilingnya pada tahun 1700 an serta 1800 an. Pada saat itu mungkin serius tampil terdapatnya keserupaan antara poker masa lalu dengan modern poker online tidak hanya pada trick berspekulasi tetapi sampai ke pikiran di tempat. Mungkin ini lah cikal akan munculnya permainan poker modern yg kalian ketahui sampai saat tersebut.
Riwayat awal timbulnya situs judi poker paling dipercaya Di dalam graha judi, salon sampai kapal-kapal yg siapkan arena betting yg ada didaerah setengah Mississippi, mereka terkadang bermain cukup hanya manfaatkan 1 dek yg beberapa 20 kartu (seperti permainan as-nas). Game itu terkadang dimainkan langsung tidak dengan diundi, langsung menang, punya putaran taruhan, dapat meningkatkan perhitungan taruhan seperi game as-nas.
Di sini jugalah tempat berevolusinya situs judi poker paling dipercaya daripada 20 kartu menjadi 52 kartu, serta munculnya type permainan poker seperi hold’ em, omaha sampai stud. Herannya orang melihat bila poker stud jadi poker pertama dan classic yang telah dimainkan lebih daripada 200 tahun.
Diakhir tahun 1800 an sajian Poker Online mulai disematkan lagi ketentuan baru diantaranya straight dan flush serta beberapa type tipe yang lain lain seperti tipe poker low ball, wild cards, community cards of one mode dan lainnya.
