Bad Faith Podcast with Briahna Joy Gray: What People Get WRONG about Drugs + Addiction

After months and weeks of listeners to the Bad Faith Podcast with Briahna Joy Gray requesting that the clean-cut host invite Dr. Carl Hart, Ph.D. on to the show, we can now present this transatlantic face-to-face, as Dr. Hart travels timezones to offer Ms. Gray a rational approach for dismantling the irrational beliefs society has instilled in us, in order to liberate ourselves, our discourse, and those who are being harmed by societal fear and misplaced punishment, in the name of protection.
