    Breed’s office has said the measure was intentionally designed to be flexible on the treatment component. Treatment options could range from out-patient services to a prescription for buprenorphine, a medication used to treat addiction. They noted it doesn’t include a requirement for participants to remain sober, recognizing that people often lapse in recovery and shouldn’t be kicked out of the program for a slip-up.

    Yes?

      Holy shit I’m glad to be wrong. Honestly surprised. That’s what I get for not reading the article and just assuming.

      Thanks for the correction

        San Francisco is fairly groovy about these sort of things. Even when SF goes authoritarian it does so with some compassion. The SF city council has issued declarations of support for Palestine and calling for the end of genocide, and it’s a hotbed of protests against the genocide, and against fascism and religious authoritarianism in general. It was the center of the hippie movement, the gay rights movement, etc etc

        Frisco is a good city.

          Agreed. It is a revolutionary city. It’s where some of the world’s best free thinkers go to, well, change the world. This is what the natural process of societal evolution looks like at the forefront. Some things stick, some don’t. Compromise and understanding are critical in a functioning democracy, and no one side is going to get everything they want, even here.
