San Francisco city leaders announced in April the city’s first death from cychlorphine, a drug 10 times more potent than fentanyl.
It turns out the person who died was a 16-year-old boy, and his mother found him in his bedroom. She shared her story with me to spread awareness.
So thankful for Sara to have me on to discuss this story!

"Locals escaped the cold inside Wild Cherries Coffee House, an unofficial town square of Truckee. Most conversations were quiet attempts to process what had just happened."
Tremendous read from @leddder for @SFGate:

As a person with a complicated relationship to weed, I found this @leddder deep-dive into the myth and foggy future of California cannabis' "holy grail" strain to be FASCINATING

This is one of the darkest stories I've read lately.

Many news outlets have used a single podcast remark as an indicator ICE agents would be “throughout Levi’s” and have a “major, visible” presence, but SFGATE reached out to 6 law enforcement agencies who haven't heard anything to that effect.
