So many fucking stuff happens to people on these medication.
What's the difference?
The water filter merchant tried to tell us!
We didn't listen!
Everyone seems to be on pot.

Lithium, pot, video games, mountain dew
anything to sedate
I haven't met anyone who smokes cannabis regularly to be in a good place in their life. Occasionally, sure, but regularly, no.
My pot head friends all gave up on life.
Agreed
I smoke cannabis regularly
It's not cause, though, more like symptom.
What's the average annual income of habitual pot-smokers vs. nonsmokers?
@Timcast So many side effects. Some people could have averse reactions. Also it would also restrict many from people from medication they need, since they can't mix. Then there is doctors who will draw blood and find it our blood.
Betchya it's lower.
They were the types who would sit at home and smoke pot all day beforehand.
@Timcast My best friend was court ordered to take Lithium after a mental breakdown that result in his arrest. He told me that the lithium pulled him into "a darker space" of his mind, that it drained all his motivation being on the medication, and it didn't help how he was feeling. This could be incredibly dangerous to more individuals than it would help.
There is so much unknown to this medication for them to be pouring it into the water system.
Unknown?
I only smoke when I'm home and dont intend to leave the house
No, it's actually one of the most well known psychotropic substances.
Lithium effects people differently.
^It does
Lithium can make you fat
Yes.
We actually know those side effects pretty well. It is one of the longest standing uses.
Unknown side effects... this is large scale fucking medicating the water.
Who else done that before? CIA? experiments?
Yeah.... I don't trust this at all.
And I vape cannabis, if that makes a difference lol, I don't want wrinkles
You don't want government to put lithium into your drinking water? What are you? A conspiracy nut??
Adding lithium could be exceptionally dangerous in one obvious situation, **regular overdose**.
They done this shit before.
Yes, and there were also thoughts more recently to spike the water in Europe.
These recent studies have made me less confident in the link between lithium and lower suicide rates than I was when I first encountered Ghaemi’s research. But it’s such a cheap intervention, and the odds of serious side effects sound low enough, that it seems worth a try.
At the very least, I’d love for some governments to conduct real, bona fide experiments on lithium. Maybe a state could randomly add lithium to some of its reservoirs but not others, or, conversely, a high-lithium state could try removing it from the water. There are serious ethical questions about doing experiments like this that affect whole populations, but if lithium’s effect is real and we don’t pursue it because we lack compelling enough evidence, thereby endangering thousands of people — that’s an ethical problem too.
They are getting in the territory of unethical human testing.
