“You gonna die over that money?” “Cocaine is a helluva drug.” It appears multiple robberies at gunpoint and cocaine addiction qualifies you for mental health diversion under @chesaboudin. Once again, the Feds go around @SFDAOffice

There are only 28k psychiatrists and 106k psychologists in America. More guns and ammunition dealers than mental health support and not enough prison employees to support the health and mental health of incarcerated people, especially while neonazi collusion has been occurring.

Public health depts rely on community support, including interns, professionals, and nonprofessionals. Did you know the Lasker Award was given to A.A. by SF Public Health in 1951? Sometimes GOD is called “Good Orderly Direction”. Have to find better incentives to rehabilitate.

I think SF Public Health has kept that recognition pretty anonymous and they may not know that nowadays. 70 year anniversary for the Lasker Award for a program that’s been mimicked since the 1930s. I wonder how sobriety could find a home in SF, again…

That’s fascinating. Much of the need for cooperation between the medical community and public health/safety resulted after the two world wars. Soldiers weren’t alone in their afflictions as mind-altering substance use was easily proliferated during wartime. No one was invincible.
