It used to be that people like that got put away in
facilities. Then,
in 1963, the jackasses in the government decided that
was wrong, and
turned them all loose. Like you say, many emotionally
disturbed people
have no idea they are emotionally disturbed and are not
going to
voluntarily submit to treatment.

Those facilities were NEVER properly funded and became
nothing more than poorly managed prisons.Most of the
lunatics on the streets now are severely addicted people
that cannot and woulod not be cured of their addiction.
Fentanyl will kill them and therw's no way to stop it.

I believe I wrote merely that 100 years of worldwide Heroin
ban has cost huge amounts of money, attention, all sorts of
resources (human labor not otherwise productive) and ruined
lives and yet it's cheaper and more pure than ever and in
most neighborhoods can be delivered faster than a pizza.

This is not a successful policy.

 
For all the recent  talk about thinking and logic the
18th and 21st amendment creates and solves the same problem :-)

The meddling do-gooders of WCTU and their ilk ramped up
their opposition to Demon Rum all through the late 1800s.
Not being stupid, they realized that removing the whiskey
tax  would collapse the Federal government, and so their
long range plans included the equally horrible 16th
Amendment as a precursor to the 17th. Sadly, that yet stands.

Still and all, the many and various issues are complex. For
example, the dramatic relaxation of cannabis regulation and
enforcement has not served children well.  I do not have a
simple snappy solution to any of it.

Perhaps cigarette  smoking? I remember when nearly all men smoked and
today?
Are narcotics dangerous?
