Athlete cheater taking illegal drugs - kicked out Harvar Botanist - high

Redman was a man who could only perform at a high level on a rowing team with no experience by taking illegal performance enhancing drugs. Without the work ethic that was not enough to overcome bad grades and stay in harvard. Even if drugs helped (and this movie makes it clear they don't help) you got to look at the bigger picture, even when the advantage it gives is that massive, cherry picked to be ridiculous.

Method man earned his way because the way he cheated was more impressive. It really is a genius movie if you think about it. Like talking to archetypes. For example talking to an archetype giving you secret information in your head. If you wanted to you could do that but not easily. Every pot reference is real enough but not so real you can't even get the joke through. This ain't no dumbass Half Baked movie. That movie was so stupid. It's like Chapelle took anything the medicinal herb/recreational drug that was good out of the movie without giving you some wierd information rapist vibe. It's good not to do drugs. that's a great message. but he knew he wasn't smart enough to take it any further than that. no nuances about advantages and disadvantages.
