Neuroscientist Dr. Carl Hart Explains Why All Drugs Should be Legal

[@angusgus123]

"Feeling good is a good thing!" - it truly does say a lot about the place our cultures are in that this still needs to be spelled out for so many people!

Great to see Carl again on youtube .

I wait for the moment the drugs get him. His teeth seem not so good and he might be tweaking

A great voice of this generation. Thank you for your work 🙏

Great info and guest. Digging the different/variety of topics, great job!

Quitting drugs will Not let me repeat WILL NOT improve your life in any way. A better job will. A better relationship will. A better support system will.

[@LuisLopez-ig4nt]

Keep telling yourself that.

[@Kudown]

Thats the thing and its so obvious, Even that can you often see in the realistic movies and series where drugs Are put in a bad way😂🤦‍♂️ drugs is just a part of it and ofc can be dangerous is you abuse it af but its rarely the cause of the problem, and if it is then its something wrong with the persons brain, not the drug itself. I’m not only agreeing its a fact. The other guy in the comment believe in the propaganda about most drugs but its understandable because most people do but to talk against scientists and Expert is very ignorant.

[@LuisLopez-ig4nt]

@@Kudown dude on the contrary - I was actually brainwashed to think marijuana wasn’t bad at all - I was the good kid all throughout school and I didn’t start smoking till later in my life (around age 26) partly because of how prevalent it has become in American society but mostly because I didn’t have God in my heart. I smoked just about everyday for 5 years, did maybe 5 or so “heroic” mushroom trips, and even dabbled a bit with cocaine - i was doing all this while running a 3.5 million dollar a year construction business and, like you, I even thought the drugs were actually helping me - I started drastically cutting down since the start of 2024 and I’ve been completely sober except for cigars for the past 2 months - and let me tell you life is soooo much better without the brain fog that bullshit as plant brings you. I’m not some weenie telling you this - I’ve been in that hole and for the longest test time I didn’t even realize I wanted out.

[@LuisLopez-ig4nt]

And to the original commenter - quitting the drugs will lead to better relationship and support “systems” - maybe even better jobs. So it will 100% lead to life improvements.

[@Kudown]

@@LuisLopez-ig4nt what do you mean like me thinking drugs helps me? i mean in most cases there Are far more bigger reasons why people do or got problems with drugs, wich are the biggest factors. Just listen to the experts. Like Dr. Carl Hart doesn’t say drugs Are only good thats ignorant. It depends on how you use them, what you take, how much, your knowlege on how to do it more safe, your mental health etc etc. Most people who do drugs ain’t got a problem with the use, its just stating a fact so people can start to help those who got probs, like a adiction to find the real reasons to why instead of just the drugs. Mental illnesses is a big reason for many or its a big factor .. one of probably many. English is not my first language btw. I’m not saying people should do drugs or that its always good😂 thats a big missunderstanding and never been my words. People should not jugde or punish people who do or suffer with/from drugs. People have used decades to study adictions wich is far from only drugs btw, and there Are always bigger reasons then just what they Are adicted to. Its like saying guns Are the reason people pull the trigger and kill someone. It makes it possible but its not the main reason

Right there with you brother. Two herniated discs and awful nerve pain, can’t access opioids unless I have surgery. Have you looked into Kratom or tianeptene? Kratom helps with the pain better well, but I use it mainly because of the psychological effects the pain relief is just an added bonus.

@@tabor503 I don’t need your prayers. But thank you. I’ve studied pharmacology and the psychology of drug addiction for years. Have even written a book on the topic that was recently accepted by a major publishing agency. There’s a reason I hold the opinion I hold. It was formed through years of obsessive and intensive research.

[@thedangler1371]

It’s way more complicated than that. Wealthy people suffer from addiction as much as poor. Addiction doesn’t discriminate. Drugs can take away of a persons passion for a sober activity. Makes them less productive and very negative. It’s happened to me. I’m a tax paying working man but could of been so much more if I didn’t try alcohol and cocaine. Not to mention how using shortens your life span

[@musicandglamour9184]

Wowwwww I actually didn’t believe that people with this dude she thought you were joking RUN EVERYBODY

[@jetpetty1613]

It's not the drugs that cause "addiction" it's the untreated trauma that is the gateway to obsessive chemical use. People are abused in the so-called "war on drugs"

[@thedangler1371]

@@jetpetty1613 I was never abused. I just liked how drugs made me feel in social environments

[@jetpetty1613]

@@thedangler1371 Untreated trauma can result from many things. Child abuse is definitely one but definitely not the only cause of untreated trauma

[@MP-et1eu]

That’s just not true. The rates of addiction across socioeconomic categories is well studied, it disproportionately affects lower income people even though drug use doesn’t drop. You are projecting your experience onto everyone else. “Since I couldn’t handle cocaine and alcohol everyone else will struggle too” This is exactly what he’s talking about when he says people will make critiques that aren’t familiar with the literature.

Using meth is not a death sentence. 5 years minimum for holding a nickle sized amount is absolutely insane. You can't punish the addict out of a person. People need to mind their own business and let people live in peace.

[@amp.piine98]

Microdosing has nothing to do with placebo, and there are definitely psychoactive effects! It's very difficult to describe but your entire perception can be tweaked in a very unique way that can make work easier, and daily tasks more engaging. This is the only thing so far I disagree with Dr Hart on.

[@derunsympath]

It does have alot to do with placebo. Question is just how much.

“The effect of drugs are so good that I don’t need to promote it” On his critics: “that’s just some dumb s**t that people say” An Ivy League tenured professor, ladies and gentlemen. Carl Hart is an addict. Period. The end. And all of us know the real reason why schools like Columbia don’t make negative public statements about this guy. This guy is a danger to the public. I’m usually not one to harass podcasters for “platforming” people, but this dude is a legitimate harm to the public with the message he’s spreading. Absolutely wild that he’s still around.

Meth and amphetamine are not the same. It's true that they both are in the amphetamine chemical class family. Meth is like metanol and amphetamine is etanol.

This guy has some good ideas but he in my opinion is so out of touch with the reality of who uses drugs and the ultimate effects of using drugs .

[@mondoslimey4356]

Drugs are not bad at all people are not addicted they are trying to escape reality most times we live in a fucked up world I don’t blame them

[@tabor503]

You mean that you yourself are? He’s the one who has done the research with the drugs and the people using them. Have you?

[@stevejones8550]

Agreed. After being in aa and being around tons of addicts(including me) I pretty much disagree with him on everything besides his conclusion. Drugs being illegal potentially causes more harm than good.

[@nicholasdauphinais]

He is one of the leading ivy level researchers… Im still waiting on your qualifications

[@stevejones8550]

@nicholasdauphinais da fuck are you talking about? You don't need a degree to recognize and comment on drug use and effects. Every single person whos gone to aa has interacted with more addicts that dr hart.
