SF doctors observe fentanyl side effect that causes people to be completely bent over after use (youtube.com) (5 months ago)
How many years after it became a widespread phenomenon, and allowed by politicians, some scientists (are there even any who are purposed to do this work by politicians) are digging into scientific biological effects. They ‘can’ stand up but it hurts them to do it. It also makes lower legs swell up and hurt. These issues often lead to needing medical treatment and surgery.
There is a question about whether to force people into ‘treatment’. ‘Harm reduction versus abstinence'. Do cities have the right to force someone into ‘treatment’ where they are kept for months? Afterwards, will they just return to where they were before? or will they be grateful they were forced? Both instances happen. I would say a big part of the problem is the way they do ‘treatment’ isn't very good.
