Columbia professor: I do heroin regularly for ‘work-life balance’
Carl Hart is a Columbia University professor of psychology and neuroscience. He chairs the psych department and has a fondness for heroin – not only as a subject of scholarly pursuit but also as a substance for personal use.
At 54, the married father of three has snorted small amounts of heroin for as many as 10 days in a row and enjoyed it mightily – even if, as he recalls in his new book “Drug Use for Grown-ups: Chasing Liberty in the Land of Fear” (Penguin Press), he’s experienced mild withdrawal symptoms “12 to 16 hours after the last dose.”

They probably cover the cost to his dealer
I’ve read red wine helps you live longer.
In New York? No way. But he’s a leftist and I assume like all leftists he’s above the law
Herbert Terrace, a Columbia University behavioral psychologist (who still teaches and conducts research at Columbia) and the grand architect of the project, planned to raise a chimpanzee in a human home, with no other contact with other chimpanzees, and begin instructing him in sign language from infancy. Days after his birth, Terrace scooped up the infant Nim, flew him to New York, and had him placed, like a foster child, in the home of the LaFarges, asking the family to instruct the chimp in American Sign Language. Not a single member of the household was fluent, or even competent, in sign language. The LaFarges were wealthy, eccentric hippies—W.E.R., a pony-tailed and put-upon poet, and Stephanie, a former student and lover of Terrace’s—with a Brady-Bunch-sized family who lived in a brownstone on the Upper West Side. And wait—it gets weirder.
It's Romans 1. See rest of post here.
I’m a fan of Anthony Kiddos, former heroin addict. Wonder if contemporary mores are pushing him right.
As long as you can handle it I suppose. Me and John BarleyCorn , well we didn’t get along. Had to part ways, if you know what I mean.
Mea culpa.
I suppose they wanted a more 'modern' take on things. IIRC, there is a bigger problem with heroin than cocaine in Britain. Since it was the BBC....
I don’t really know..are there many heroine users that live to 80+ years of age?
“Mea culpa.
LOL!
don’t you just HATE to have to admit you were wrong? ... I know I do!!! at any rate, if you like to read, those books are still fantastic reads ... the BBC series with Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman is awesome too ...
Yep. Been to meetings.
I’ll have 31 years on the 25th. of this month.
Applause! Do you give group talks?
I have , a couple of times. Have to confess since Covid hit I’ve stopped going.
He looks more like a slick drug pusher or maybe even a pimp than a professor. Does he sell it to his students so they have a better study/play balance in their life?
Knock yourself out, Prof. Just don’t beg my tax dollars to fund your repeated rehabs!
