Columbia professor says he does heroin regularly for 'work-life balance'

[EvilCat Breath]

No need to graduate any higher, you're near the top of the mountain already. Then I read the article and I find he's going even further with his experimentation.

Where in the hell does he obtain this stuff? Are Profs heading down to Junkie BLVD. to get their fix?

Columbia professor says he does heroin regularly for 'work-life balance'

A Columbia University professor of psychology and neuroscience has a fondness for heroin.

www.foxnews.com

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.


"There aren’t many things in life that I enjoy more than a few lines by the fireplace at the end of the day," he writes, pointing out that the experience leaves him "refreshed" and "prepared to face another day."

Hart, who studies the effects of psychoactive drugs on humans, finds his use of the narcotic to be "as rational as my alcohol use. Like vacation, sex and the arts, heroin is one of the tools that I use to maintain my work-life balance."

Ohhh the arts. Using heroin is no different than looking at a Monet.

By all means, let's send our children to be coached by a drug addled professor extolling the pleasures of heroin addictions.
PARENTS, This is your fault if you allow it...

Yes, but it is okay if they take Adderall if prescribed.......

How about, no drugs and more math. The real racist math where 2+2 isn't 5...

No wonder they're stupid as stumps

What is your excuse? Many people can function just as well as other people while using substances that the centralized corporate powers don't want you to do.

You never fail to look ridiculous

Hint: it's illegal

Well let's be honest. Sure it's "illegal", but so is illegal immigration. So although it is illegal on the books, it's not really.

The moment I found out a heroin addict was in charge of children it'd be a bad day for the addict

Oh dear, looks like you want to get cancelled.

Well so much for friends, family, and your job.

Nice know'in ya!

Then why did we have our military protecting the poppy fields in Afghanistan?

Wow. I mean who doesn't? I can't start my day without snort and then a handful of schrooms for lunch

More math, like if I buy a kilo of meth I can make X amount of profit?

If the military is protecting it, how can it be bad?

Wonder what Rump would say about that?

He is anti drugs. His children got an education.
It is the difference between Ivanka and Hunter...

He drinks diet Coke, there is a drug in it called caffeine, so he is not drug free, no one is...

 

[Moonglow]

Your own body creates small doses of THC but you people think you are drug free, what a joke.

You keep on trying to divert...I have no interest in it. You know it's bad and you're trying to justify a professor doing something really stupid

Then you had better say that about all the old psychologist that started the profession because there is no way to evaluate a person who uses drugs if you have never experienced the use of the drug, and they did experiment with drugs.

It seems he is meeting all qualifications for doing his job. Can you show where he is being less responsible than the guy who shows up hung over?

Well let's be honest. Sure it's "illegal", but so is illegal immigration. So although it is illegal on the books, it's not really.

I had to laugh at that, as it's an interesting way to look at it, though not wholly inaccurate.

I'm a believer that a fully functioning adult with all his/her faculties should make their own decisions. They know it's bad for them on many levels, and of course, he shouldn't be driving or teaching his class while high as a kite. Not just for moral reasons, but, students pay for quality education.

Ultimately, I think morality laws are usually going to be a grey area as long as it isn't impacting anyone else. Most know a double decker burger with bacon and cheese isn't good for your arteries, but, we eat it anyways. Ditto for too much pizza, sweets or alcohol.

As for the illegal immigration problem, that's one that is going to impact ANY nation negatively in the long run. The arguments for it rarely make sense to me.

That is ridiculous. Do doctors take chemotherapy so they can better manage cancer patients?
