His research focuses on debunking common myths about drugs, such as the false belief that substances like crack cocaine or heroin cause addiction after a single use or that typical doses destroy brain cells. Hart emphasizes that there is no scientific evidence supporting these claims. His work aims to inform public policy with evidence rather than fear and misinformation. He highlights how drug bans, driven by myths, have harmed countless lives through incarceration and stigma—not the drugs themselves. Hart advocates for recognizing bodily autonomy and using science to guide safer, more rational approaches to drug use and policy.\n
