[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People are wondering what has changed and it isn't covid or policies -- it's the type of meth that has been flooding the US. There's been some recent articles about this surveying mental health providers, police and others who deal with homeless a lot. The new meth that's made from synthetic chemicals is very different than meth made even a few years ago, and it seems to be causing people to have mental problems and brain damage drastically faster than the previous type. This mental change is characterized by an extreme lack of socialization and desire to be alone, and large amount of paranoia.

Makes a ton of sense when you see what's happened with the homeless situation. A lot of them are refusing help and services. [/quote]

Hey, I read one article and now I know everything.[/quote]

DP. It’s not just one article. This is a real thing and it’s also not just meth but theres a shit ton of synthetic drugs that are making people beyond help. It’s common to see homeless people walking around and just screaming and looking zonked out. I’ve grown up in dc, was a teen during the crack years, and remember when there were tons of homeless everywhere on the mall. I don’t ever recall seeing the screaming zombies the way I see them now. There is something definitely new going on. Its completely unsettling. [/quote]
