Clean Pay

SF wants to pay people not to use drugs:

The “Cash Not Drugs” program, introduced by Democratic San Francisco Mayor London Breed and San Francisco Board of Supervisors member Matt Dorsey during a press conference, would pay residents $100 a week for taking a negative drug test. Eligible residents must already receive assistance from the County Adult Assistance Program (CAAP), have a substance abuse disorder and volunteer to take weekly drug tests. “I want to make it just as easy to get treatment, as it is to go out there and buy dope,” Breed said during the press conference. The stipend would be supplied in the form of gift cards or electronic benefit transfer, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. It would be funded by Homelessness and Supportive Housing Fund and CAAP Treatment Fund, KTVU FOX 2 reported.
