Just some basic compassion.What do you think we owe the homeless mentally ill, or (less than 50%) alcoholics?
Don't we have some warehouses we can put them? If we can warehouse invaders, we can warehouse the mentally ill.Just some basic compassion.
If you don't want mental health services to be available for people who need them then don't whine about the homeless population because these mentally ill people will end up on the streets.
Don't we have some warehouses we can put them? If we can warehouse invaders, we can warehouse the mentally ill.
The dilemma. Lock them up and forcibly get them treatment. Oh that violates the law. You can't just lock people up. Oh yes. The mentally ill will get treatment on their own. Sure, that's the ticket. They all want to get better, right?Illegal incarceration.
get the mentally ill some treatment so they can actually be part of and contribute to society
But you'd rather whine about it than actually do anything.
We need more of these films in our schools
You don't want to treat them you want to warehouse them.The dilemma. Lock them up and forcibly get them treatment. Oh that violates the law. You can't just lock people up. Oh yes. The mentally ill will get treatment on their own. Sure, that's the ticket. They all want to get better, right?
I would rather DO something. I'd rather lock them up. Get them off the streets and take back the parks. Who can I vote for? What can I contribute to. What's the warehouse address? Can I start dragging bodies there?
Once they are locked up we could treat them. Forcibly if need be.You don't want to treat them you want to warehouse them.
words mean things.
We already have laws that allow for the involuntary treatment of people but we have no facilities to do so. Locking people up in a warehouse isn't treatment.
Only after due process.Once they are locked up we could treat them. Forcibly if need be.
Treatment doesn't work. As soon as they can the drug addicts and the mentally ill go right back to whatever they were before treatment.
Are you an addict?And marijuana was used even before alcohol was invented.
Pot does not cause people to become addicts.
If you actually knew anything about addiction you'd know that.
Are you?Are you an addict?
In everything we do it is where a line is drawn. Of course, there are variables. How we were raised, our personalities from birth and the pressures of where we live.No.
Very few people who use pot will use opioids.
So why do those variables not apply to alcohol? Or Nicotine? Or any other drug people use?In everything we do it is where a line is drawn. Of course, there are variables. How we were raised, our personalities from birth and the pressures of where we live.
No I am not. Are you?Are you?
My mother was a heroin addict. When I was 14 I found her dead. I lived on the streets for 2 years after that and I actually knew too many heroin, crack and meth addicts to count. I know a hell of a lot more about addicts and addiction than most of you people here.
People do not become addicts because they smoked a little pot before moving on the harder drugs.
No I am not. Are you?
You want to speak with so much authority on the issue, good to know if you are speaking from experience. While you were living on the street for two years not being an addict, do you know if all of those heroin, crack and meth addicts you knew smoked weed before they became addicts?No and what does it matter?

I see. You don't believe in the gateway drug mechanism. People just all of a sudden try meth or crack or heroin. How about cocaine. Are people who like doing cocaine more inclined to try crack? And are people who like crack more inclined to try meth?It doesn't matter if they smoked weed before they became addicted to something else.
If they all drank alcohol before they became addicted to something else would you say alcohol made them become addicts to other drugs?
People do not get addicted to heroin, crack and meth because they might have smoked pot or drank alcohol.
Just get these sickos off the streets. Give them drugs. We confiscate plenty. And let them die.Only after due process.
And a warehouse is not a medical treatment facility is it?
or are you advocating we invest in mental health resources by converting abandoned warehouses into mental health facilities?
