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
