College Professor Carl Hart

I read Matt's linked Carl Hart interview and the view that drugs are unfairly scapegoated.  "Dr. Hart uses his life and work to reveal that drugs are not nearly as harmful as many think. " Amazing.  Columbia University.  "If you don't fully appreciate the context, and you think that drug users are awful, then you don't think about how a person takes care of their kid, takes care of their family, goes to work, but they also use drugs." Wow.  An AFDC-loving, pot-smoking, coke-snorting professor who makes excuses for drug-using parents.

(And did you see the UCSB "Feminist Studies" Professor -- look up her specialties --  assault a pro-life teen girl the other day?  These are the elite colleges my daughter has to choose from?)

Drug use sucks and anyone who has had to deal with drug users in their lives knows that. A waste of a life. A waste of money. Hart's closing advice is that you shouldn't mix heroin with other sedatives.  The "Just Say No" campaign caused high school pot use to drop by half from '79 to '93.  Clinton turned that around and now Obama's weak leadership is having the same effect as Carter's and Clinton's did.
