The War on Drugs Revisited: San Francisco and the Overdose Crisis
Some San Francisco city officials are advocating jail for unhoused people who use drugs and murder charges for people who sell drugs.

In the fourth episode of our series on San Francisco and the overdose crisis, we take a historical look at the justice system’s approach to drugs, its racial inequities, what has changed, and what may be making a comeback.
