| 520 | _aColumbia University Professor Dr. Carl L. Hart draws on both decades of research and his own personal experience to argue definitively that the criminalization and demonization of drug use is itself far and away the greatest scourge drugs inflict on America. His initial work as a researcher was aimed at proving that drug use caused predominantly bad outcomes, but the evidence from his research did not support his hypothesis. Here he challenges head-on some of our strongest moral reflexes about drugs and citizenship. In every country with a more permissive and humane drug regime he shows human outcomes are better, from mortality to addiction, to overall quality of life. Countries with the most permissive regimes, however, have the best outcomes. -- cover. | ||
