I wonder how much of the general SF street chaos is literally just meth https://www.sfdph.org/dph/files/MethTaskForce/Meth%20Task%20Force%20Final%20Report_FULL.pdf …pic.twitter.com/DyetLcsLDp

Kinda just want to reiterate that HALF of the people who wind up in SF's primary psychiatric ER are there for reasons directly related to being high on meth

Eventually we'll have to confront the fact that we don't really know how to effectively treat meth addiction. Some people recover, and most people don't. Even residential rehab results in only a 13% success rate for continuous abstinence over 3 years https://www.researchgate.net/publication/224916528_Evaluating_the_impact_of_community-based_treatment_options_on_methamphetamine_use_Findings_from_the_Methamphetamine_Treatment_Evaluation_Study_MATES …pic.twitter.com/96w9FRxW3W

This highlights how misguided it is for a city to ignore dealers & try to make up for it with treatment accessibility. Recovery isn't in the cards for most people who develop a genuine addiction, which is exactly why it makes for a great business for the people selling this shit

Why has drug usage jumped so dramatically in the last ten years?

It could also be that meth users from elsewhere have been migrating to SF at increasing rates.

....but our leaders tell us that the solution is shiny new apartments at $500k each. I guess somehow that's solves problem of a meth user who burned every bridge before ending up on street shooting drugs into his foot.
