    They didn’t do it to fit in and be cool because it makes you calm and relaxed. They are dealing with mental problems to begin with. It’s not a Gateway drug it’s a commonality. it’s a sign of a bigger problem

    It is so sad that BC Schizophrenia Society has gone woke. I will no longer support the BC Schizophrenia Society since the organization has bought into left-wing radical Marxist systems. Keep your support of Harm Reduction unsafe supply and shove that attack on our loved ones where the sun won't shine. Your publications are an embarrassing symptom of buying into radical social death.

    Legalisation, regulation, education. Current drug policy does not work and a new holistic and evidence based approch is needed to minimise harm. You will never stop people using drugs in a recreational way, nor do I think you should try to but people should be informed of the risks surrounding the drugs they choose to take, just look at what has happened with smoking

      ​@EvilEddyEdmonds Because,some can turn extremely violent and don't care IF they can take a life. Most lack scruples and see nothing wrong with lying and making things up. Kleptomania,crimes ,sinning etc is cool and funny to some them. They lack remorse and are emotionally numb and aloof. They have twisted up warped up senses where they confuse being helpful and friendly to being flirtatious and when you correct them they turn into a toddler threatening to kill you by pointing a knife at you etc. Pot smokers are scary and strange all they mostly care about is watching TV,sleep all day.Eats mostly take out and junk food from Dollar Tree. The ones I know can't and are too lazy to cook and can't read and are illiterates

Hope is my greatest tool….along with sacred listening and the prayer that love and time will soften and lessen the pervading fear that inhibits healing. Bless you all. Peace.

    Why are the police involved in suicide attempts where the person does not have a mental disorder and no doctor has examined the person. In case the police are not aware of the amendment to the Criminal Code, SUICIDE IS NO LONGER A CRIMINAL OFFENCE AND HAS NOT BEEN FOR DECADES. This is just one more law where a person's rights are ignored. And then the police enter their actions into a data base that is shared internationally. As a result a woman who was traveling to the US was denied entry because her name appeared in the data base of US Customs. This has got to stop. I

    "Their Out To Get Me !" "Everyone Is In On It !!" ...IN On What ! Is It a Man's Voice, a Woman's voice, or Too distorted to distinguish? Or is the experience, "Just an Uneasy Feeling", where the proper solution is unknown. In a particular frame of mind, does the voice(s) encourage behaviour which is,for the person, out of the ordinary, or affect how they react to certain situations ? (Not Eating Meals, No Sleep, or Not Taking required Medications). There are so many labels that can be suggested and a wide range of symptoms, seemingly interchangeable and thrown around: DEPRESSION, Bipolar, Paranoia. More recently we have become more aware of how many people are affected, in Sports, Entertainment, Our Caregivers, and Figures of Authority, and who might be willing to try to do something about it. Outside Or personal pressures can cause a type of 'Mental Burnout'. I'm sorry, Your Presentation is not helpful. It is Not easy to Portray A Sense of a Person's Fragile Reality, rather than just as part of a radio play which nearly destroys a very sad but nice song.
