Carl Hart’s Radically Different Approach to Drug Policy

His thoughts on the current opioid crisis have appeared in the pages of Scientific American, Nature and the New York Times. His book, High Price, a memoir that deconstructs our current notions about drugs and society, won a PEN/Faulkner Award for non-fiction. 

He also does public speaking engagements where he argues in favour of a radically different approach to drug policy, one informed by empirical evidence, as opposed to the current model, which, he argues, is largely based on a misconception. 

Hart will give such a lecture at the Peter Wall Institute’s upcoming  Wall Exchange on May 23 at the Vogue Theatre in Downtown Vancouver.
