It seems so simple. So basic of an idea that you wonder why it has not been implemented yet.

It is involuntary care.

As communities across the province grapple with street disorder and a sense of insecurity, involuntary care is seen by many as a solution. Politicians of all stripes have offered it up to concerned residents and businesses as a path forward.

The problem is it is unlikely to be what people are expecting. The expectation is that it will be a panacea; the reality will be quite different.

They have proved that meth destroys the dopamine system so the only way you feel pleasure in life is meth.

Recovered people have suggested it takes years for the brains reward syatem to reset. A meth addict is not able to make proper choices for their future quality of life. Oxy seems similar, and add deadly drugs cut into that you have immenent death waiting.

I'm not saying involuntary care is the answer, I'm saying it seems like the answer when you follow logic reasoning, thus why people are for it.
