Drug Use for Grown-Ups

Drug Use for Grown-Ups: Chasing Liberty in the Land of Fear is a 2021 book by Columbia University professor Carl Hart. In part a memoir that discusses Hart's own experiences as a heroin user, the book analyzes the science of addiction and advocates recreational drug use as part of the "pursuit of happiness". Hart asserts that “recreational drugs can be used safely to enhance many vital human activities” and bases the claims in his book on decades of research on the behavioral and physiological effects of drugs in humans.
