I see several news reports every day of pharmacies getting held up… mostly for controlled meds
Last week a CVS Health employee was “punched” by a shoplifter, this week an employee gets shot.. over the last few years Pharmacists have been killed, employees have been killed, customers have been killed… We see/hear about cops being shot, gang members and innocent people.. including innocent children being shot/killed.
It doesn’t matter if the business being held up or robbed .. is a bank, convenience store, pharmacy… etc… how much of this can be directed back to people with mental health issues… either to get drugs to self medicate or someone whose business is making a profit selling some substance(s) to abuse and meet the NEEDS of those who have mental health issues. How many of us “professionals” go home after work and down a six-pak of beer, that bottle of wine, that 1/2 pint, a Benzo or start your day with a SSRI ? To deal with our “life”. These so-called “addicts” are criminals because they have broken some “morality law” of our society? It would be interesting to see how much money we commit to dealing with citizens that break our “morality laws”. I suspect that we would have more than enough money to treat all those people with mental health issues that we are now labeling as criminals and incarcerating.
Maybe the war on drugs/pts should be changed to a war on stupidity or mental health pts ?

I so wish you would run for president, but I would miss your logic and common sense lol. Drug court’s have proven success records. Criminals that are after drugs to sell and injure people need to be under the jail. Along with the government that can’t tell the difference. Unfortunately as a chronic pain patient in tears now with pain I pay the price because of the actions of others. Merry Christmas to all.
I could never be elected.. the electorate doesn’t want to hear the truth. They vote for more promises of more entitlements. Because only their candidate or party will make sure that they are kept.
