Nearly 40 states in the USA now have laws allowing courts to order people to take powerful psychiatric drugs against their will, even while living out in the community in the sanctity of their own homes. Such a bill can impact everyone by establishing a precedent.
Many people willingly choose to take neuroleptics.
Two studies show African Americans are far more likely to get long-acting depot neuroleptics, and at higher doses. The main pusher of the forced drug bill is the extremist Treatment Advocacy Center, which is funded by the millionaire Stanley family, and headed by psychiatrist E. Fuller Torrey. TAC is now lobbying Commissioner Jim Stone. If Commissioner Jim Stone can be convinced not to push this legislation, your action may help kill the forced outpatient drugging bill. This MRI scan study concludes that neuroleptics seem to be responsible for subcortical brain swelling.
