I was gonna comment on the reporter that told the poor people in Iowa not to water their lawns on National TV. The City is being destroyed by a flood of historical proportions. Crisis Counselors were being brought in, I think getting the people out of harms way is better. I just watch TV. So Crisis Counselors struck a nerve......
It was in the 1970's and people were going to mental hospitals for drug addiction. It wasn't called re-hab at that point. And people were not famous. The famous people just kept going and dying. Perhaps, it should still be called "the mental hospital." After all we are dealing with a disease.
There are many things I don't understand and this is one of them. How can you treat a drug addiction with a drug like Thorazine or Stellazine ? And why did we call writings on the web ezines. And why do they all end with the word zine.
Friends in High Schoool disappeared and were later found to be in the local mental hospital. After they "were" cured. They would tell of a drug named thorazine. For more info check out this site http://www.sntp.net/drugs/thorazine.htm
"People's voices came through filtered, strange. They could not penetrate my Thorazine fog; and I could not escape my drug prison." - Janet Gotkin, testimony before the Senate Subcommittee on the Abuse and Misuse of Controlled Drugs in Institutions (1977)
So these kids and young adults were sent to a mental hospital to break out of their addiction to drugs and placed in a physical and mental prison (Thorazine).
The people i knew either relapsed and went back to old habits, joined AA chained smoked, or kept taking the Prescribed drugs and did the thorazine shuffle which never got on in the clubs.
