Spent most of today trying to get a young man into drug treatment. I've said this a lot, & am working to change it-- our city doesn't prioritize immediate, on demand treatment. It's complicated to access w lots of barriers. And Fentanyl is brutal unlike anything we've ever seen.

To truly face this crisis head on, yes we need expanded harm reduction. We need law enforcement to stop fentanyl dealing. We also need to get serious about treatment. It needs to be easy to access, streamlined coordination, intensive case management. It currently is not.

I do not support locking people up for drug use.

I'm not necessarily talking about that, but the so-called non-violent crimes that come with addiction like theft. Like breaking into homes, cars, and shoplifting.
