[QUOTE="TwoForFlinching, post: 3543785, member: 24500"] I wonder how much of mental trauma and issues are stemmed from excessive drug use? Not to say it's all from drug use, my sister has been nuts since birth,, but... A few years ago, a friend had a full on melt down. After years of opiate pill and alcohol abuse, he had a wild crash after a breakup with his junkie girlfriend. He was hearing voices in his head, dark thoughts, deep depression, fits of unrelenting and uncontrollable rage that parkoured to sobbing in an instant. We ended up calling the cops, he took a swing, they tossed him in a cell and we refused to bail him. They had him evaluated, the psych was talking schizophrenia and all sorts of stuff. He sobered up, caught mandatory counseling and found a 12 step program. Weeks in, no voices or dark thoughts. Years later, an otherwise "normal" dude. I know it's not a popular opinion in most conservative crowds, but I'd be curious what reallocating some or most of the war on drug monies to treatment and resource officers or counseling staffs might do for the homeless problem. I mean, we've spent trillions and all we have to show for it is a budding private prison industry. [/QUOTE]
