►Drug myths you still believe have long since died, in the world of evidence & facts anyway, not people's beliefs. ►Here is the original video this came from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DHSn...
►"I have to make sure I don't engage in conversations with people who don't abide by the rules of evidence" ~~ Dr. Carl Hart
►Carl Hart Ph.D. tells how we’ve been lied to about the effects of cocaine, methamphetamine and other drugs.
►Not that we should run out and start looking for a score; that’s not the point.
►“But I have been studying drugs for 22 years, 14 years at Columbia, and we have quite a bit of scientific, evidence-based information. And I am here to tell you, drugs are not the bogeyman that people said they were.” ► http://www.drcarlhart.com/anecdote-me...
