About this listen
In this episode of Tea and Other Drugs, I sit down with Dr. Carl Hart, professor at Columbia University and renowned expert on psychoactive substances, to challenge the mainstream narrative on the opioid crisis. We dive into the myths surrounding opioid overdose statistics, the controversy over 7-hydroxymitragynine, and how prohibitionist policies harm more than they help.
Dr. Hart unpacks why overdose numbers are often inflated, the role of kratom in harm reduction, and the ways drug hysteria fuels mass surveillance rather than public safety. This is a must-listen for anyone who wants a science-based perspective on drug policy, harm reduction, and personal autonomy.
🔹 Topics Covered:
The flawed logic behind opioid overdose statistics
7-hydroxymitragynine and the kratom industry divide
Why prohibition fuels harm instead of preventing it
The war on drugs as a war on pleasure
