Dr. Carl Hart
Carl Hart is a professor of neuroscience and psychology at Columbia University. He is known for his research in drug abuse and drug addiction, and he was the first tenured African American professor of sciences at Columbia University.
Today on the show we had Dr Carl Hart, on the show who spoke about changing America's perception on hard drugs and using them safely, but DJ Envy and Charlamagne were not convinced. In fact they opened up the phone lines to see what our listeners thought about his comments in the interview. Also, Charlamagne gave "Donkey of the Day" to Illinois State Rep who wanted to ban violent video games to reduce carjackings.

Dr. Carl Hart is a drug researcher and an occasional drug user because you can be a respectable, intellectual, high-functioning professional and a loving family man and occasionally do a little heroin. If that sounds crazy, why? Why would it be ok if instead of “do heroin” I said “drink whiskey” or “smoke a joint”? Because heroin is harder or more addictive? The doctor will explain why it’s ok to do drugs in reasonable amounts, why he enjoys good heroin, and why our current thinking about drugs is what’s crazy. Dr. Hart is the author of the new book Drug Use for Grown-Ups and he’ll explain how grown ups can use drugs in a grown up way.Patreon.com/toureshowInstagram: @toureshowTwitter: @toureToure Show Episode 213Host & Writer: TouréSenior Producer: Jackie GarofanoAssistant Producer: Adell ColemanEditor: Ryan WoodhallPhotographers: Chuck Marcus and Shanta CovingtonBooker: Claudia JeanThe House: DCP Entertainment
