Drug Use for Grown-Ups: Chasing Liberty in the Land of Fear is a 2021 book by Columbia University professor[1] Carl Hart.[2][3] In part a memoir that discusses Hart's own experiences as a heroin user,[4][5] the book analyzes the science of addiction and advocates recreational drug use as part of the "pursuit of happiness".[6]

Reception

Drug Use for Grown-Ups received mixed reviews upon its release.[7] Nicholas Cannariato wrote a generally favorable review for NPR that focused on Hart's civil libertarianism and focus on institutional racism.[8]

The Los Angeles Review of Books gave the book a mixed review, supporting Hart's conclusions on drug liberalization and yet opposing his "cherry picking" of evidence: "Carl L. Hart’s Drug Use for Grown-Ups: Chasing Liberty in the Land of Fear is good drug policy based on bad rhetoric."[9] City Journal similarly argued that Hart ignores evidence in the book, instead focusing primarily on "personal anecdote".[10] Michael Shellenberger intensely criticized Hart's work in his 2021 book San Fransicko.[11]
