Keith talks with Carl Hart, Associate Professor of Psychology at Columbia University, and author of "High Price: A Neuroscientist's Journey of Self-Discovery that Challenges Everything You Know About Drugs and Society." And, indeed, Hart's views on drug use challenge much of what were are brought up to believe - that drugs are bad. Are drugs really as destructive as we think? Hart believes that most people who use hard drugs like cocaine and heroin are not addicts or drug abusers, but instead know how to use those drugs responsibly...within limits. Hart, who believes in the decriminalization of drugs, does not discount, however, the destructive nature of these drugs for some users. http://www.drcarlhart.com/
