THE PRIMARY reason Carl Hart wrote his High Price:


WAS TO SHOW US HOW EMOTIONAL HYSTERIA THAT STEMS FROM MISINFORMATION RELATED TO WORLDWIDE ILLEGAL DRUGS OB-FUSCATES THE REAL PROBLEMS FACED BY MARGINALIZED PEOPLE!


THIS ALSO CONTRIBUTES TO GROSS MISUSES OF LIMITED PUBLIC RESOURCES! IN ORDER TO SHED LIGHT ON RELEVANT ISSUES INCLUDING MALADAPTIVE HUMAN BEHAVIORS AND MISGUIDED PUBLIC POLICIES - "CH" USES REAL-LIFE EXAMPLES, MAINLY FROM HIS OWN LIFE? HE HOPES THIS WILL HELP US TO LEARN BY EXAMPLE AND THEN GENERALIZE MORE BROADLY?!


He also recognized that inaccurate conclusions can be easily made ìf personal anecdotes ALONE are used! Thus, in addition to real-life examples throughout CH used scientific knowledge of the human mind, brain, & BEHAVIOR in an effort to decrease the likelihood of the {'myDi'}READER drawing INAPPROPRIATE conclusions!?


In his attempt to be as accurate as possible, he visited relatives & friends & recorded what THEY had to say: some of these individuals' names of course have been changed in an effort to protect their privacy! After absorbing the information he learned from the meetings with them, he'd meet with the writer MS, who helped him put together a narrative that he thought would be interesting & digestible for a general readership, but CAHA takes full responsibility for any inaccuracy that MAY have resulted from OVERSIMPLIFICATION of complicated material!

Carl Hart hopes that after reading, we will be less likely to think about drugs in MAGICAL or EVIL terms that have NO foundation in real evidence, which has led more often than not to situations where there is an unreasonable goal of eliminating illegal drug use AT ANY COST to MARGINALIZED groups! Instead, he hopes we, his readers, will come away with the ability to think MORE OBJECTIVELY & THUS ALSO MORE CRITICALLY ABOUT THE MULTITUDE OF ISSUES THAT DO COME ALONG WITH ILLEGAL DRUG USE, ÁND WILL LEARN TO UNDERSTAND THAT BY APPLYING WHAT WE HAVE LEARNED ABOUT HUMAN BEHAVIOR, WE CÀN CHANGE IT!

Piggelmee Mor gelooft Tureluurs in menselijke evolutie via onze zwerftochten over de gansche aardkloot: waar we vandaan kwamen en naar toe trokken, wat en hoe we alles leerden eten en drinken met schade & schande, profijt & alle aangeleerde ingewikkeldheid èn ook éénvoud; je bènt wat je eet & drinkt, doet & laat, wenst & hoopt, ervaart & ontdekt, leest & schrijft? Onder andere(n)!
