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.
By saying randomly spiking water.
> it seems worth a try.
sounds about right
where do we all sign up?
We should lace the water with testosterone.
and steroids
just counter it with soy latte
and pumpkin spice starbucks
or take any regular birth control
Quote: But putting lithium in the water would actually be a mind-control plot: It would be a concerted effort by the government to put mind-altering chemicals in the water supply to change the behavior of the citizenry. And I say that as someone who thinks that, if it works, that it would be a great idea! Preventing suicide is really important, but it does require changing how people think, a tiny bit.
we should just chain everyone to their living room couch
Crazy Americans wasting a valuable rare earth element, needed for green electric car batteries, by using it as a tap water additive.
These is sad...
You know what is a great idea
putting chemicals in the water that might have mind altering properties..
that won't cause problems for anyone
Only people I think needs this medication.
Is California.
certainly never a chemical that has adverse effects on 1% of the population or anything >.>
The American SJWs/NPCs does not like dutch/Flemish christmas tradition of black pete
a 150Lbs man who drinks 1-1.5 Gal of bottled water a day (me) is more likely to have a much higher intake of lithium than a 200Lbs woman who drinks less than a Gal a day (My wife)
I would be more affected due to my already existing conditions more heavily than she would be as well. (ADHD with a family history of autism and other mental conditions) I have no idea what this would do to someone like me, her, or any one of you reading this.
wut ? ^
People with different reactions to lithium would consume variable amounts of tap water with variable body weights, so controlling how the populace would react to it is nearly impossible and just dumping lithium into the public water would be irresponsible.
This is why we have doctors individually prescribe and monitor drug use.
^^^ Exactly my point
