In a significant shift, San Francisco is moving to restrict the distribution of drug paraphernalia, particularly targeting supplies related to fentanyl use. Mayor Lurie has announced an end to the policy of providing free drug-use supplies without treatment options, sparking criticism from nonprofits and healthcare professionals who argue that this direction undermines harm reduction strategies. Concerns are mounting that limiting access to these supplies could exacerbate the ongoing fentanyl crisis rather than alleviate it. The decision has drawn mixed responses, indicating a broader debate about the future of drug policy in the city and the balance between public health and safety measures.
