High Price: A Neuroscientist's Journey of Self-Discovery That Challenges Everything You Know about Drugs and SocietyAs a youth, Carl Hart didn't see the value of school, studying just enough to stay on the basketball team. At the same time, he was immersed in street life. Today, he is a cutting edge neuroscientist Columbia University's first tenured African American professor in the sciences whose landmark, controversial research is redefining our understanding of addiction.

As a youth, Carl Hart didn't see the value of school, studying just enough to stay on the basketball team. At the same time, he was immersed in street life. Today, he is a cutting-edge neuroscientist--Columbia University's first tenured African American professor in the sciences--whose landmark, controversial research is redefining our understanding of addiction. In this eye-opening memoir, he recalls his journey of self-discovery, how he escaped a life of crime and drugs and avoided becoming one of the crack addicts he now studies. Interweaving past and present, Hart examines the relationship between drugs and pleasure, choice, and motivation, both in the brain and in society. His findings shed new light on common ideas about race, poverty, and drugs and explain why current policies are failing.

The Amazon Basics 2-ply toilet paper is a solid, budget-friendly
Size: 350 sheet (Pack of 30)
It’s a practical, affordable toilet paper that gets the job done well—best suited for those prioritizing value over luxury. The Amazon Basics 2-ply toilet paper (30-roll pack) is a solid, budget-friendly option that performs well for everyday use. It strikes a decent balance between softness and strength—comfortable enough for regular use while still being durable and absorbent. Many users appreciate the large quantity (10,500 sheets total), making it a convenient and cost-effective choice for families or high-traffic households.

Great value, surprisingly soft, and lasts a long time
Size: 350 sheet (Pack of 18), Size: 350 sheet (Pack of 18)
This Amazon Basics toilet paper is honestly much better than expected. The 2-ply material feels soft and comfortable while still being durable enough for everyday use. It strikes a nice balance between comfort and strength without feeling too thin. The roll count offers excellent value, especially for families or households that go through toilet paper quickly. The larger roll size means fewer roll changes, which is always a plus. I also appreciate that it doesn’t create excessive lint and works well without clogging issues. For a budget-friendly household essential, the quality is surprisingly solid and very consistent from roll to roll. Overall, this is a dependable and affordable option that performs just as well as many more expensive brands. Soft, practical, and a great value for the price. Highly recommended!

Solid
Size: 350 sheet (Pack of 30)
I think this is a great toilet paper as it is a fair price point and is long lasting but also soft not rugged. I have been buying the amazon brand now for some time they make solid paper products and it compares well to the big name brands like Charmin.

A Clean rear shouldn’t break the bank.
Size: 350 sheet (Pack of 30)
If you're on a budget but still want a reliable bathroom companion, look no further! This bathroom tissue strikes a good balance between strength and softness—it may not be the cloud of fluff that some might prefer, it's a decent swipe when you need to wipe. After 58 years of toilet tissue trials, my rear has developed quite the resilience, so I appreciate a roll that does the job without fuss. Plus, it plays nicely with our plumbing, avoiding troublesome clogs that can come from some of the plush options available. It’s a solid pick for those who know the importance of quality without breaking the bank!
