San Francisco is seeing a significant shift in its approach to drug use under Mayor Daniel Lurie, who announced the end of free distribution of drug paraphernalia such as plastic straws and foil used for smoking fentanyl. This change reflects a broader political transition in the city as voters opt for more moderate leadership. Previously, the city emphasized a harm reduction strategy, but the mayor contends that the city must now take a stand against drug-related deaths and open-air drug markets, claiming that allowing continued usage was unacceptable.
