Like many other cities in the U.S., SF is facing an overdose crisis. It's time to turn to solutions that work: safe injection sites provide lifesaving care that our city desperately needs. In the wake of the surge in ODs, we need them now more than ever.https://www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/openforum/article/Philadelphia-case-could-clear-the-way-for-safe-15728969.php …
You're familiar with the supply chain for illegal narcotics, right? It is no big deal if the cannabis dispensary gets the THC % wrong. Not so for opioids with such a thin margin of error for deadly OD.

Yet the cannabis now produced and sold in dispensaries is carefully tested and quality is assured. What I want to stop is people like my dead friend that bought ketamine and od'd on fentanyl, which the dealer put in and I quote "To make it smoother"

That kind of quality control is impossible in the black market. The City should dispense pharmaceutical heroin that is tested for strength and metered out in doses appropriate for the addict in their "journey of addiction" and tolerance.
