Appreciate your speaking up with an unpopular opinion; I fear coerced treatments because individuals vary more than medical practice allows for.

For example, there's people for whom opioids do not provide any pain relief; but try getting a doctor to understand that you're one of those people. You'll get the opiate pills prescribed anyway, and noted as a foolish drug seeker to boot.

There's always going to be issues like this. They can be solved. We shouldn't let smaller issues cloud our judgement about the larger issue, which is that woman screaming at the trees was someone's daughter. That man sprawled out naked and drunk in the bushes was once someone with friends and family, all gone now because no one can help him. The state needs to step in and take care of these people, against their will at least until they are well enough to decide for themselves.
