The new HHS secretary has made baseless claims that the drugs are addictive and cause violent behavior.

        I am concerned. I like the idea of voluntary isolation to reduce access to their addiction while promoting the ability to function again in society.

        I know damn well that wouldn’t be how it’s used in practice, so I’m concerned with it.

          Antidepressants are what give people the ability to function.

          That’s what you are calling a pretty good concept.

              Considering this was all you said, maybe you should have made it clear you weren’t referring to people on prescribed psychiatric medication:

              That’s a pretty good concept actually. I doubt it’ll be good in practice done by a guy who doesn’t know what a vaccine does

              Since, you know, it sure sounds like you think putting people on farms for doing something about their depression is a good concept.

          They’re not just going to announce work camps for slaves are they.

          Even if we’re talking about illicit drugs, sending users to work camps is not a cure, it’s just taking advantage of them.
