I was interviewed by Stanford grad students & they asked really good questions.

Below are some of the topics addressed:

  1. Can marijuana be more dangerous than heroin?
  2. What are the behaviors of a typical drug user?
  3. Can you die from heroin withdrawal?
  4. Should cops speak about drugs?

 

  1. Why do scientists have difficulty communicating with lay people?
  2. What are some of the behaviors of a typical drug user?
  3. What is far more important – studying the brain or studying behavior?
  4. Are drug effects predictable?
