Policy Peak boot-lick attempt - SanFran hobo turned NIMBY @Twolfrecovery is giddy about new forced rehab laws on 40 second interview.

Encyclopidist Fail - Turns out he is on some real shit I had missed and less unhinged than i thought, [original title long gone on OP]

Forced treatment in Cali sounds ahead of even Alberta. Fucking Bodysnatchers.


When homelessness and mental illness overlap, is forced treatment compassionate?​

MARCH 31, 20235:01 AM ET

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — More Californians with untreated mental illness and addiction issues could be detained against their will and forced into treatment under a new law signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom, a move to help overhaul the state’s mental health system and address its growing homelessness crisis.

The new law, which reforms the state’s conservatorship system, expands the definition of “gravely disabled” to include people who are unable to provide themselves basic needs such as food and shelter due to an untreated mental illness or unhealthy drugs and alcohol use. Local governments say current state laws leave their hands tied if a person refuses to receive help.

The law is designed to make it easier for authorities to provide care to people with untreated mental illness or addictions to alcohol and drugs, many of whom are homeless.

The exception to the rule is that if you’re a Silicon Valley techie or some big shot LA lawyer you can keep using as much hard drugs as you want.

This ain’t about getting ppl better. It’s an other scam to enrich Newsomes bribing rehab industry pals. There will be zero results and drugs will increase
