Sure, and lets throw some Chlorpromazine in for good measure. I mean, C'Mon .. we don't have enough nimrods running around not paying attention, we may as well add more ..

Your thread title is entirely misleading, and inaccurate.

1) This topic is under discussion, and being researched, not proposed.

2) Lithium is a naturally occurring substance already found in virtually all water supplies and the ocean.

3) Lithium levels in drinking water differ depending on the geographic location.

Hate to freak people out but you already drink drugs all the time in your city tap water. You drink antibiotics, birth control hormones, antidepressants, etc... . They are not removed nor is the water measured for them. When you read you municipalities water report you only find scant information about certain heavy metals.

Get yourselves a Berkey!

Um, no. It is being looked at it in something people like to call research. Lithium occurs in soil and water around the globe naturally, it loves to bind with water more then any other molecule. In some places, like Japan's Oita province, it is natually higher then others. The element is used as a mood stabilizer, and it happens this province has an extremely low suicide rates...so people are looking at it.

I know observing and recording the world around them is scary to people who don't understand it, but research into the world around humanity has built the modern world (and the computers people are ranting incoherently on now). If people slept through high school science and breezed through with a sympathy D it is best to ignore science news honestly, because what is being said will be so misunderstood it will just make people panic for idiotic reasons.

Just look at the Swine Flue epidemic where the first thing to go up on twitter were people terrified about getting it because they ate bacon for breakfast.

And how did the last mind control experiments go with the U.S. Federal Government?
