Nobody seems to see the tie between taking drugs and resulting mental illness/permanent brain damage.
Oh, plenty of people see it, I’m sure. But the “if it feels good, do it” mentality tends to sweep the bad side of drugs under the rug.
Exactly. I believe a lot of the crazy is due to drug abuse.
Some of the drug abuse may be an attempt to soothe the crazy as well.
What came first, the chicken or the egg? There is no way to get empirical evidence together.
Harshly punish drug abuse, public intoxication, drug sales, and possession.
Conservatorships with safeguards for the truly crazy, including involuntary confinement to mental hospitals.
That’s my policy! Persevero 2020!
