Carl L. Hart

关于作者

Carl L. Hart is a prominent neuroscientist and psychologist known for his research on drug addiction and behavior. He challenges the stigma surrounding drug use and advocates for more rational and humane drug policies. Hart's work emphasizes the importance of understanding the social and environmental factors that contribute to drug-related issues, rather than solely focusing on the substances themselves. His groundbreaking books, such as "Drug Use for Grown-Ups: Chasing Liberty in the Land of Fear," aim to educate the public about the complexities of drug use and the need for policy reform.

As a professor at Columbia University, Hart’s research has made significant contributions to the field of psychology, particularly in the areas of addiction and drug policy. He is recognized for his efforts to shift the narrative around addiction from a criminal issue to a public health concern. Hart’s advocacy for drug decriminalization is rooted in his belief that individuals should have the freedom to make their own choices regarding drug use, and he often speaks about the importance of education and empathy in addressing addiction and drug-related problems.
