Environment/Human Health-10666-Pharmacutical & Illegal Drugs, Addiction Study, “Rat Park” innovatory "model ...by researcher Bruce Alexander of Simon Fraser University ::
/\/Click_ Blue_ Links < ↓ /\/see Intro_ Quotes_ Credits/\/
"Alexander built Rat Park, ...housing colony, 200 times the square footage of a standard laboratory cage. ...16–20 rats of both sexes in residence, an abundance of food, ...play, ...space for mating and raising litters. ...Rats (that were previously) ...forced to consume morphine hydrochloride for 57 ...days were brought to Rat Park and given a choice between plain tap water and water laced with morphine.  For the most part, they chose the plain water.“
"...given something better to do than sit in a bare cage they turned their noses up at morphine because they preferred playing with their friends and exploring their surroundings to getting high."
"Perhaps it’s time the war on drugs becomes a war on the existence of poverty?"
