AGAINST RAT PARK
Rat Park is a famous study in which lab rats were kept in a really nice habitat that satisfied their every need. Contrary to the usual results with lab animals, scientists couldn\u2019t get these happier rats addicted to drugs. Researchers concluded that drug addiction, far from being the simple biological story everyone assumed it was, was really a just coping mechanism for intolerable social situations. Rats stuck in terrible cages get addicted to drugs, as do humans in terrible slums. But give them other opportunities for happiness, and the problem disappears.
This has since turned into popular legend. From HuffPo:\xa0The Likely Cause Of Addiction Has Been Discovered, And It Is Not What You Think. From Intellihub:\xa0Rat Park Heroin Experiment Shows Cultural Roots Of Drug Addiction. There\u2019s even a\xa0Rat Park Comic\xa0and the inevitable\xa0Trump Could Learn From The Rat Park Experiment\xa0thinkpiece.
