Drugs Are Bad, They Have Chemical Hooks

A lot of how we think about addiction is based on an experiment in the 80s and early 90s where they took a lab science box and put a rat in it. The that is in psychology textbooks for people that are healthcare and mental health providers. A guy, a social scientist up in Vancouver, Canada, is an old man now. He wrote a book called The Globalization of Addiction. It's unbelievable. And he ties addiction to economy and Western civilization.
