Concur regarding the mentally ill. Where do you want the drug addicted to go?
Are there a disproportionate number of “homeless”? Small town homeless transplants, hmmm.

I think Jayjay .could confused how alot of things work. I would suggest a lot of research.
Not everything you study on the internet is true.
That is not a solution.
Drug addiction is a medical issue. It should be treated, just as mental illness should be treated.
No it isn’t.
You’ve been trying that for decades.

Yes it is, and no we haven’t.
See: Portugal
Actually I “kind of” agree with you. It started with inappropriate choices that turned into a dependency problem. But, treatment as a disease is difficult it the subjects, addicts if you will, do not cooperate. Calipornia loves addicts

I only see America.
No, it’s not. It’s a psychological issue.
I’ve seen Portugal. Are you Portuguese?

Physiologically for about 72 hours. The rest is psychological.

You are correct (as usual) 
Psychological issues are medical issues.
Mayo clinic:
Drug addiction, also called substance use disorder, is a disease that affects a person’s brain and behavior and leads to an inability to control the use of a legal or illegal drug or medication.
Stick to things you know about.
@Guilds Do you believe that high end store smash and grabbers and shoplifters are socially and economically deprived and are justified to loot and steal?
You should see what portugal did regarding drug addiction.
It is ok to learn from other countries.
What part of I do not give a ■■■■ about Portugal do you not understand. We should care about America first. Can you answer this question: Do you believe that high end store smash and grabbers, pharmacy robbers, and retail shoplifters are socially and economically deprived and are justified to loot and steal?

Some may be socially and economically deprived, but that does no justify criminal actions.
No, they aren’t. MDs don’t treat psychological issues, psychologists do.
So…you would prefer no not try a different approach that works…because America did not come up with the idea?
Damn.
