San Francisco is currently pondering a new drug policy that places a strong emphasis on abstinence from illicit substances. Supervisor Matt Dorsey has put forth the “recovery first” approach, which has ignited discussions among policymakers and citizens alike. This proposal has raised concerns among some individuals who fear that it may ostracize those who are not prepared to give up drugs entirely. On the other hand, there are those who argue that the current leniency in the city’s drug policies is contributing to the escalating fentanyl crisis. Mayor Daniel Lurie is determined to address the pressing issue of fentanyl-related deaths and overdoses in San Francisco.
