I listened to this podcast at work the other day and found it super interesting. Joe Rogan had Dr. Carl Hart on his podcast and he is known for his research with illegal drugs. His take on the subject of illegal drugs was very different in that he believes that drugs as hard as heroin or cocaine can be used responsibly. He even goes as far to say that these drugs can improve life for those that use it responsibly. Anyway if this subject interests you and you have some time I recommend giving it a listen. It's not the same tired old "legalize pot" adage. I'm interested to hear other people's viewpoints on this.
I personally have not had anyone in my personal life severely affected by opiates or any other hard drugs, so I'm curious to think what others more close to the topic have to say about his views on these drugs. Let me know what you think!
