Addiction Specialist - Best Argument for Compassion Ever! Don McAdams 2014-12-11 | This is my favorite clip from "The Culture High." Dr. Gabor Maté explains addiction and why treating addicts like criminals does nothing to solve their problems.It's time for us all to collectively feel compassion for one another again and to acknowledge that the drug war is a complete failure that is no closer to its stated goals than it was 40 years ago!Anyways, brilliant clip, excellent movie, credit to Phase 4 Films for putting it together, youtube.com/watch?v=pnQnarrgYWg . The only thing I would add to the addiction topic is a perspective from another renowned psychologist who said that 10% of the population can become addicted to anything, like video games and walking in circles in their back yard. Many people get addicted to extremely dangerous things like skydiving, base jumping, and bull fighting, but the majority of the public has no desire to outlaw any of these activities, and there's no financial incentive for politicians to prohibit any of them.
