Try posting to the level of this argument: "If you can show that the numerical increase in drug users is not substantially larger than the number of persons released by the Community Mental Health Centers Act, we'll have something to talk about. Otherwise you'll have failed to account for the former number."
That's a silly question to attempt to answer 40 years later. Nevertheless, the drug problems in the USA and its creation of a world wide market in drugs is the result of both the USA, Canada and Western Europe attempting to treat the mentally ill on a community based, out-patient basis. From Sarah Jane Moore to Mark Chapman, to David Hinkley and Patrick Purdy, of the Stockton School yard Massacre, all were mental patients being treated at a community clinic.
