Neuroscientist Dr. Carl Hart talked about his book, High Price: A Neuroscientist’s Journey of Self-Discovery That Challenges Everything You Know about Drugs and Society, in which he combines a memoir about growing up in a poor Miami neighborhood with his studies of drug use. He argued that the current drug laws are based on assumptions about race and class rather than a genuine understanding of the physiological reasons for and effects of addiction. He spoke with Juan Williams, columnist for The Hill and Fox News contributor.
