One interesting stat from the video: THC concentration in average pot in the 1960s was about 1%. In 2008 it was 9.6%. Does that mean people are 10X more stoned these days? Nope. They use roughly 1/10th as much weed by weight. Where an ounce might have sufficed in the 60s currently 1/8th of an ounce will do. Adjusted for inflation and THC content the price of weed has hardly changed at all in 40+ years.
