San Francisco is currently contemplating a new drug policy that focuses on prioritizing abstinence from illicit drugs. Supervisor Matt Dorsey has put forward the “recovery first” approach, which has generated significant debate among city residents. While some are concerned that the policy may ostracize individuals who are not yet prepared to stop using drugs, others argue that the city’s current leniency is not effective. Mayor Daniel Lurie is determined to address the fentanyl crisis that has been plaguing the city. This proposed drug policy is part of a larger effort to combat drug addiction and its associated issues in San Francisco.
