Reefer, Managed: Is Cannabis Addictive?

The Brian Lehrer Show | Apr 1, 2019

Carl Hart, professor in the departments of psychology and psychiatry at Columbia University and the author of High Price: A Neuroscientist's Journey of Self-Discovery That Challenges Everything You Know About Drugs and Society, talks about his own life and his work on the science of drug and cannabis addiction.

Spending a large amount of my youth addicted to cannabis, a big reason to my dependence was due to loneliness and helplessness to the issues I faced. The need to numb myself from my woes and the lack of access to a caring community led me to overuse cannabis for years. https://t.co/duC4JseS5I
