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.

Dr.Hart schools the listener on what true freedom means. He uses his vast knowledge to point out how there are very few spaces on the planet which are actually free. His travels abroad and collaboration with others in the field, illustrate how this problem is not just in the United States of America. Humans need to be better at critical thinking and separating fact from fiction. I applaud your courage Dr.Hart, and look forward to reading your other books!! Thank you!!
