Carl Hart is a Columbia University professor of psychology and neuroscience. He chairs the psych department and has a fondness for heroin – not only as a subject of scholarly pursuit but also as a substance for personal use.
At 54, the married father of three has snorted small amounts of heroin for as many as 10 days in a row and enjoyed it mightily – even if, as he recalls in his new book “Drug Use for Grown-ups: Chasing Liberty in the Land of Fear” (Penguin Press), he’s experienced mild withdrawal symptoms “12 to 16 hours after the last dose.”
But, as Hart sees it, the discomfort is a worthwhile trade-off. “There aren’t many things in life that I enjoy more than a few lines by the fireplace at the end of the day,” he writes, pointing out that the experience leaves him “refreshed” and “prepared to face another day.”

I’m sure he can quit anytime he wants. Just like me I drink brake fluid every day and trust me I can stop when I want to
Get it? Stop when I want to? It’s a joke, son.
Idiot!
$20/fix. Let’s help him.
He’s black so its ok - no repercussions will be coming.
Idiot, professor, I mean. Just to be clear.
Idiot professor, not OP!
He’ll be lucky to make 60 years old. Black drug users do not have a high life expectancy. Even Columbia professors.
“Get it? Stop when I want to? It’s a joke, son.”
And if you could stop on a dime and pick it up too, you’d have a bad Jewish joke.
Never trust a man with long fingernails.
Come on people. Help him get his fix. How many drunks get free ripple? I’d buy them the hard stuff(cheap).
The addicts rationale. 😉
Thank you, I needed that.
Seriously, though, this isn’t going to end well for him.
Maybe. But for every dope head that can actually manage how many will end up in the morgue?
The left is hell-bent on drug legalization. It started with cannabis, but it will not end with cannabis. I know that they have libertarian allies on the right (including some here on FR), but as I walk down the street in San Francisco, passing through clouds of pot smoke at all hours of the day and stepping past the fetanyl addicts passed out on the sidewalk, I question whether a society of recreational drug enthusiasts is the sort of society that’s sustainable. IMO, there’s a reason that Soros et al. push drug legalization. Who’s likely to resist all of the crap? Someone who’s stoned and stupid and constantly chasing the next high? I don’t think so.
Work-Life Balance? Wasn’t that Frank Sinatra’s excuse in “Man With the Golden Arm?”
Marijuana is a gateway drug to socialism.
Yeah Carl keep it up. Sooner than later you will become totally hooked and risk losing everything. Such a smart guy, and he teaches our future. /sarcasm with regards to smart guy SMDH
When attempting to identify the problems with our educational system, one must first of all look at who is teaching our teachers.
