¿Y si las drogas NO fueran el problema?

En este vídeo exploramos cómo funcionan la adicción, la dependencia y el sistema de recompensa, y qué nos enseñaron los famosos experimentos Rat Park de Bruce K. Alexander sobre el papel del aislamiento y el entorno. Viajaremos después hasta los veteranos de Vietnam, la recuperación natural o espontánea, el capital social y algunos de los tratamientos que intentan cambiar no solo el consumo, sino también las condiciones de vida de quien consume. Y, para terminar, veremos el polémico trabajo de David Nutt sobre el daño de las drogas y el alcohol. Porque quizá para comprender la adicción no basta con preguntarnos qué hace una droga en nuestro cerebro, sino también qué lugar ocupa esa droga en nuestra vida.
