Crack
Addiction — in the neuro-biological can't-get-enough-dopamine sense —
might not be as powerful as pop culture would have us believe. A
Columbia University psychology researcher has found that only about 20%
of meth and crack users actually end up physiologically addicted. And,
even those people are capable of making rational choices — including
denying themselves a hit of their drug-of-choice in favor of a delayed
monetary award. Based on his research, Carl Hart believes that drug use is merely a symptom of a life that's gone awry for other, more systemic, reasons.
