Carl Hart is a Columbia University professor of psychology and neuroscience. He chairs the psych department and has a fondness for heroin – not only as a subject of scholarly pursuit but also as a substance for personal use.At 54, the married father of three has snorted small amounts of heroin for as many as 10 days in a row and enjoyed it mightily – even if, as he recalls in his new book “Drug Use for Grown-ups: Chasing Liberty in the Land of Fear” (Penguin Press), he’s experienced mild withdrawal symptoms “12 to 16 hours after the last dose.”But, as Hart sees it, the discomfort is a worthwhile trade-off.

It's not surprising that a man who publicly confesses a need for brain-altering substances would have grown up without a father in a violent and aggressive tribal culture. It's a tribute to the strength of the man's basic character that he is where he is now and even as I salute you, Professor, I pity you.

Work-life balance and heroin. Keep doing the heroin, and he won't have work or a life. Isn't he afraid of getting arrested? He just admitted to criminal behavior. Hope he can trust his supplier. Is this fool capable of critical thinking? He is suppose to be a professor, and assumed to be intelligent.

And shouldn't this professor be fired? Oh, he has tenure.

Heroin and all other Opiates have one similarity: They cause constipation.

Don't touch that fentanyl, professor. You freaking junkie. I doubt heroin is going to be legal anytime soon, so this academic is a scofflaw, as well as an idiot. #11 is correct that opiates cause constipation. Elvis died trying to empty his jam-packed colon; this professor might suffer the same fate emptying his already threadbare thinkbox.

What he does on his off time is his business, but this is no more than trying to make druggies "normal"

The only difference between Hart and a common homeless street bum is a regular lifetime paycheck and a couple of years spent in classrooms. I sympathize with parents who pay big bucks to let fools like this claim to educate their children.

Timothy Leary in blackface.
Clark Gable had a grandson, Clark Gable III, who was a dead ringer for his grandpa, and died at age 30, a year or so ago, from an 'accidental drug overdose' of fentanyl, xanax, and one of the codones. (He was a minor TV celebrity on a trashy reality show called Cheaters.)
