San Francisco is currently exploring a new drug policy that focuses on prioritizing abstinence from illicit drugs. The proposal, put forth by Supervisor Matt Dorsey, advocates for a “recovery first” approach to address drug addiction in the city. This initiative has ignited a heated debate among residents and policymakers, with some expressing concerns that it may marginalize individuals who are not yet prepared to quit drug use. On the other hand, there are proponents of the policy who argue that the current leniency towards drug use in the city has only exacerbated the fentanyl crisis. Mayor Daniel Lurie is leading the charge to combat the alarming rise of fentanyl-related overdoses and deaths in San Francisco. This new drug policy is part of a broader effort to address the complex issue of substance abuse and addiction in the city. Stay tuned for updates on how this proposal unfolds and its potential impact on the community.
