As well as turning people into unproductive citizens, and many times public nuisances.
Have you ever had to live with a pill-popping alcoholic?

Im an insured, working member of America, if I get decide I want to get jacked up on vicodin then so what? How does that increase your health care costs?
As far as being public nuisances, there are other laws that already cover that. If someone gets loaded up and jumps in a car, then they fall under the DUI laws, etc. I would be all for making some of these laws harsher for punishment of those that use these drugs and put others at risk. |

You are a "Medicated America Enabler" | Medicated America Enabler! Thanks so much for the label! You wonder why I bring up your being a cop? If you started posting like a human being and left that badge out of your posts? Then maybe you would not be so quick to judge people and you cannot deny that most of your posts are cop speak and cop think.  |

It has nothing to do with this except for the rare cases of being "bi-polar" is every 5th person acting like an idiot's excuse for their actions. (even though they have no doctor).
Other than that, its from looking at *******s in my family and saying, "you are ****ed up" | Also how do you know I am not bi-polar? You assumed that I get high off drugs, take meds and drink. You do not know my mental health! |

Have you ever had to live with a pill-popping alcoholic? | You need to worry more about big pharm. places and less about what people do inside their own homes.  |

I may or may not have mentioned the experience with dealing with mentally ill people through my job, but thats just like Captain America mentioning his (which he has much much much more).
Also since when are cops not human beings?
I think this post goes to prove your dislike of police more than anything. |
