Ep. 16 – Being Present Is An Altered State with Dr. Carl Hart

In this week’s episode of Set and Setting, Madison Margolin welcomes Psychology Professor, Dr. Carl Hart, to talk about the psychological effects of recreational drug use. Dr. Carl Hart is the Ziff Professor of Psychology in the Departments of Psychology and Psychiatry at Columbia University. He is also a Research Scientist at the New York State Psychiatric Institute. Professor Hart is one of the world’s preeminent experts on the effects of so-called recreational drugs on the human mind and body. He has published numerous scientific and popular articles in the area of neuropsychopharmacology. He is co-author of the textbook Drugs, Society and Human Behavior (with Charles Ksir). His book High Price was the 2014 winner of the PEN/E.O. Wilson Literary Science Writing Award. Professor Hart’s latest book Drug Use for Grown-ups has changed the national conversation on responsible drug use. “I certainly am a better person because of my drug use. I’m certainly a more sensitive person, a person who is more concerned about the environment and the people around me.” – Dr. Carl Hart See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
