I saw this guy on the Rogan podcast recently and Joe agreed with mostly everything Dr Carl Hart said. The problem is Black American's have endured way too much pain when it comes to drugs in this country and that's the reason why Charlamagne and DJ Envy are reacting so negatively. They can't see past the systemic racism and suffering.

@@MiguelMartinez-el1le yes. If you are going to do drugs. That’s your choice. But he wants people to do it safely. Because people are going to do drugs anyways. So why can’t people do it in a safe way? For one it would help people with addictions get there life back on track if they wanted to fix there life anyway. Again that’s there choice. Becuase they won’t have to spend a lot of money to get there fix. And if they want to get off then they can make a plan to get off at the place they are getting it at.

Yet the rates of violent crime, homelessness, and poverty continue to steadily increase in this country. Geez, I wonder what could be the majority contributing issue to these.

And, particularly in reference to this guy's message, drugs--specifically opiates, though also psychedelics and some psychotropics--have historically been looked to as a way to control the population and maintain the status quo.

I would guess alcohol usage is responsible for more casualties than most of these drugs, but it’s not vilified the same.

[@GeronFletcher]

The problem here is he’s a highly educated person in this field trying to explain it through media that can twist words and also trying to make it accessible to everyone.

So many people are set in their ways and quick to judge another person because the government and media has brainwashed everyone into thinking that "Drugs are bad, mmmkay?" If drugs are so bad, let's be consistent, shut down all the liquor stores and Marijuana dispensaries, and take all the coffee and cigarettes off the shelves. And also remove anything that contains any added sugar from all our grocery stores.

The brotha has a point. Initially I was against his argument, but after hearing him out I think it is a less harmful solution then the current war on drugs. His drug testing theory holds weight, and is currently working in other thriving societies.

They won't stay functioning for long and that's for damn sure. They'll either get clean or the drug use will increase to the point they cannot function. Using heroine recreationally for long periods of time is unheard of because the long term effects it has on your mental & physical health. And let's not get started on the withdrawal on heroine. A person can shoot up heroine on Monday and not do it for the rest of the week but the withdrawal will last until Friday and Saturday they're back to shooting up again.
