WOW! Lasting on something like that is absolutely off the charts. His brain must look like swiss cheese on an MRI. Totally not surprising it's done permanent damage to parts of his brain. It's a damn sad thing that won't ever get better.
Mental instability is so hard to watch. I don't pretend to understand what causes people like him or the "fuck" people...the people who walk everywhere hissing fuck (or another word) over and over but they're so damned heartbreakingly sad. Refuse permanent housing that can keep them off the street/keep them away from people who will steal them blind and I'm not sure they'd even know the difference between walking 15km a day hissing or shouting fuck nonstop or sitting on a couch, watching TV or something.
The general level of mental health in Canada seems to be getting worse and worse.
We are following behind america, instead of learning from their mistakes we seem to be trailing behind them.... In america 1 in 4 people are on some sort of psychotropic drug(s). I wrote a report on it in university. Anatomy of an epidemic is a book I recommend to anyone, especially if they're thinking of taking psychotropic drugs cause they believe they're depressed or anxious or something.... The most common mental illness diagnosis' are not even mental illness.... Like anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar(on an unmedicated mind), ect all symptoms of either: a more serious mental illness, social issue, chemical imbalance( caused by drugs) or just typical emotions. Being depressed from someone dying, or something else, is a normal emotion; it doesn't need to be medicated.
My brother died last feb(2022) from an overdose. He was born to be an addict. He was told he had ADHD, so he was told he needed riddlin and dexadrine to be 'normal', then all the uppers made him not sleep so he started hearing things that weren't there, so he was told he was a skitz so he was put on an anti depressants and anti psychotics to be 'normal' and all these drugs made him feel weird so he started self medicating.....to feel ....."normal".... He was taught since elementary school he needs drugs to be a normal person. And this is true for so many people.
Eli Lilly gets sued all the time for that sort of stuff, creates a debate what comes first mental illness or drug addiction.
Before psychotropic drugs were given to the masses 1 in 5000 people had a long term psychotic disorder now yea it's 1 in 4, in the states.
They actually can't do studies on "un-medicated" brains anymore to compare because at some point you and/or your parents have taken a psychotropic drug, which apparently affecting studies.
Decriminalizing drugs and selling them at a weed dispenser, I think it'll be just like legalizing weed, it'll cause issues at first, we will figure out how to solve them then things will get better. Like buying it legal from a store will increase robberies at the dispensers, but the people working there can't say they didn't know what they were getting themselves into and underground criminals, the upper level ones, will benefit. The lower level ones will crash and burn and need to find something else. Other robberies will lower because boosting (stealing to give to the dealer) will no longer work. As someone said earlier "the dispenser won't take a tv" lol and overdoses will drop significantly. Like people who deliberately do fentynal can't even get 'clean' fentynal anymore. It's now cut with insane amounts of benzos.
A shit ton of legal dealers will pop up just like weed dispenseries but then regulations will start to kick In and all the ones who work in the grey area will get shut down and u will need to be completely organized and well documented, like a pharmacy to stay open. My 2 cents on it anyways.
Sorry for the essay
