Drug Use for Grown-Ups: Chasing Liberty in the Land of Fear
Book • 2021
In this book, Dr. Carl L. Hart presents a radically different vision of drug use, arguing that when used responsibly, drugs can be beneficial for human health and functioning.
Hart draws on his over 25 years of research and his own personal experiences to debunk popular myths about drug addiction.
He argues that the greatest damage from drugs comes from their illegal status and the resultant stigma and racialized policies.
The book emphasizes that many adults use drugs responsibly without becoming addicts, and it advocates for a shift towards drug policies based on scientific evidence and human rights rather than fear and sensationalism.
