Summary

This quote expresses the idea that personal experience is not always necessary to form an informed opinion or make a judgment. In the context of condemning marijuana without trying it, the quote emphasizes that expertise or understanding of a certain subject can still be attained through observation, research, and learning from others' experiences. Being an obstetrician and never having been pregnant does not invalidate their expertise and knowledge in the field of obstetrics. Similarly, condemning marijuana use can be based on scientific research, societal implications, and understanding of potential risks without personally trying it.
