High Price by Carl Hart
"High Price" is a groundbreaking work that combines personal memoir and scientific research to challenge societal views on drugs and addiction. The author, a neuroscientist, shares his journey from a troubled youth in one of Miami's poorest neighborhoods to becoming a leading expert in the science of drugs. Through his own life story and scientific findings, he argues that the demonization of drug use – not drugs themselves – has contributed to poverty, crime, and failed policies. The book advocates for a more informed understanding of drugs and calls for a new approach to drug education, policy, and treatment, emphasizing the role of environment and inequality in addiction.
