Mythbusting the Drug War with Science
Dr. Carl Hart grew up in one of Miami’s roughest neighborhoods. He saw firsthand how drugs and poverty wreaked havoc on his community and pursued a career in neuroscience in order to develop a cure for addiction. But he soon learned that the science of addiction simply does not match up with what we all think we know about drugs and society. Join us as Dr. Hart dives into the latest research to show how politicians and the media have gotten the science wrong and what we can do to fix it.
Attendees will also get an exclusive sneak peak at Dope Science, a new series featuring Dr. Hart that uses science to show how much of what we think we know about drugs and addiction simply isn’t so.
