literally taking the water from the lithium pits lmao
*as a gesture of goodwill we will not use that nickname tonight*
2 seconds later
they are putting chemicals into the water that turn the frikkin frogs sane
tbf very very low dose lithium is generally good, still not for it being mandated into the water https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1699579
im not even anti floride, i like that it helps my teeth, but if there was a strong movement to remove everything from water i'd stand with that
its fucking water, let it be water, no side games
Even if the overall outcome was positive, we cannot condone this.
The ends do not justify the means.
i dont think most people drink tap water
If we killed all mentally ill, there would be less mental illness. It does not make it right.
For similar reasons, too many people confuse the rule of law with having a law for everything.
Are long term side effects of lithium exposure documented? Every cure has side effects.
There are few people who have articulated this in a better way than Friedrich Hayek in his "Road to Serfdom".
All i know about lithium is that it is a component of lithium ion battery
low dose lithium in the water, Oh my. Can't I just smoke weed?
Or do Medical Cocaine
@barcotics even then i don't want minerals fucking with plantlife etc
yea idk what lithium would do to the soil
Make it a gaint battery duh.
I found the chapter, in an audio book version. This is an incredibly important read, in a defense of liberal values (in its classical definition).

idk if this is everywhere but i always drink spring water
@barcotics lil is good, alot is toxic. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1111/j.1744-7348.1941.tb07552.x
The problem is unless we had a extremely minute amount it would probably build up over time and cause toxicity

<:poppocool:483444791447781399>

The study up there is on the effect of lithium on plants.
Did you mean to post that one?
Almost every poison is only poison if you take it in high amount, calcium and magnesium can both kil you yet are necesarry for life
As a psychiatric provider I think the idea is terrible
Oh.
But its effect on people is different. That is what we are talking about, right?
Water can kill you if you drink enough fast enough
