San Francisco is currently mulling over a new drug policy that emphasizes abstinence from illicit drugs, as proposed by Supervisor Matt Dorsey. This “recovery first” approach has stirred up discussions among city officials and residents alike. While some express concerns that the policy may isolate individuals who are not yet prepared to give up drugs, others argue that the city’s current leniency has contributed to the issue. Mayor Daniel Lurie has stepped in with a goal to address the ongoing fentanyl crisis in the city. The proposed policy has garnered attention for its potential impact on the community and the ongoing drug-related challenges faced by San Francisco.
