From one of the world’s foremost experts on the subject, a powerful argument that the greatest damage from drugs flows from their being illegal, and a hopeful reckoning with the possibility of their use as part of a responsible and happy life.
Dr. Carl L. Hart, Ziff professor at Columbia University and former chair of the Department of Psychology, is one of the world’s preeminent experts on the effects of so-called recreational drugs on the human mind and body. Dr. Hart is open about the fact that he uses drugs himself, in a happy balance with the rest of his full and productive life as a colleague, husband, father, and friend.
In Drug Use for Grown-Ups, he draws on decades of research and his own personal experience to argue definitively that the criminalization and demonization of drug use - not drugs themselves - have been a tremendous scourge on America, not least in reinforcing this country’s enduring structural racism.
Dr. Hart did not always have this view. He came of age in one of Miami’s most troubled neighborhoods at a time when many ills were being laid at the door of crack cocaine. His initial work as a researcher was aimed at proving that drug use caused bad outcomes. But one problem kept cropping up: The evidence from his research did not support his hypothesis. From inside the massively well-funded research arm of the American war on drugs, he saw how the facts did not support the ideology. The truth was dismissed and distorted in order to keep fear and outrage stoked, the funds rolling in, and Black and Brown bodies behind bars.
Drug Use for Grown-Ups will be controversial, to be sure: The propaganda war, Dr. Hart argues, has been tremendously effective. Imagine if the only subject of any discussion about driving automobiles was fatal car crashes. Drug Use for Grown-Ups offers a radically different vision: When used responsibly, drugs can enrich and enhance our lives. We have a long way to go, but the vital conversation this book will generate is an extraordinarily important step.

I have no idea, nor do I want too. But Basileus55 sounds like one person that has never experienced life. They refuse to because it scares them, hence they put down anything remotely liberal

Portugal abolished all criminal penalties for personal drug possession 14 years ago. The numbers speak for themselves and its not really open for debate. Google it if you want to know but basicaly all negative numbers assosciated with drugs like death, HIV,od’s, crime, teen drug use are all down and down bigtime.

Pay no mind Basileus5, they can barely form 1 coherent thought.
The only way to stop drug abuse is to keep kids from being introduced to drugs. Legalize all drugs, sell them at cost to addicts from state run clinics, hell give it away with my tax dollars, and destroy the cartel’s ability to fund themselves and take all of the drugs off of the streets. No more fentanyl laced drugs, no more ODs, more mail space for real crimes rather than just addicts. Eventually, all of the addicts will die of old age and the chances of new young addicts will be reduced.
