DESCRIPTION:Carl Hart discusses his book:\n\nHigh Price: A Neuroscientist's Journey of 
 Self-Discovery That Challenges Everything You Know About Drugs and 
 Society\n\n$5-25 at the door and soon online\n7pm Saturday, May 24, 
 2014\nRevolution Books\n\n"Dr. Hart (neuropsychopharmacologist, Columbia 
 Univ., research scientist, New York State Psychiatric Instit. Div. of 
 Substance Abuse) presents a refreshing new analysis of drug use that 
 reveals how common misconceptions are far too often not based on empirical 
 evidence. Hart blends his own story of experimentation with drugs as a 
 teenager with his empirical insights into the relationship between drugs 
 and pleasure, factors that motivate the use of drugs, and the power of 
 choice. He also reveals new ideas regarding the common association of 
 racial characteristics with drug abuse, the impact of poverty on the use of 
 drugs, and an important, new understanding of why current national drug 
 abuse policies continue to fail. His relatively surprising research results 
 reveal how incorrect common warnings are about how drug abuse can ruin a 
 person’s life. Drawing on his successful rise out of poverty and drug 
 abuse in his dysfunctional family, Hart directed much of his research into 
 how some drug users have managed to succeed in life, supporting his view 
 that much of what is now being done in current drug education, treatment, 
 and policy is inconsistent with scientific research results.\n
