Well, lets face it, addicts will figure out how to get money for their addiction one way or the other. I don't know the finer points of the law re schizophrenia. Isn't a major component of it genetic. A genetically vulnerable person drops acid, develops full blown schizophrenia and the entire house of cards falls down. I am thinking of other disabilities when I say that prior addiction will often prevent a disabled person from geting assistance. I know quite a few schizophrenics and they are all getting help of one kind or another, so maybe the addiction card does not weigh as heavily for them.

I think meth addicts just eat themselves from within. I don't think they get disability. They get dead.
