Drug Refuge Lets San Francisco’s Addicts Inject

DEATH REDUCTION? –

Feb. 11, 2022 – A short distance from the headquarters of technology giants on Market Street in San Francisco, Pauline Wise left a city-run drug addiction facility after smoking fentanyl.

Wise, 42, said that destitute men and women were inside injecting heroin, smoking crack cocaine and crystal meth as commuters walked past. “If you’re not used to it, it might be a shock,” she said. “You will see people using. You’ll see people shooting up.”
