[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]

Thanks for this. Sad but useful info. It is my understanding that the synthetic marijuana also causes brain damage quickly, it can contain a variety of chemicals and is also extremely cheap.
