In the U.S., a Proposal to Distribute Drugs to the Homeless to "Clean the Streets"

In Southern California, Lancaster Mayor R. Rex Parris proposed a radical solution to the homelessness problem. Under his plan, homeless individuals would be given unlimited access to drugs in an attempt to "clear the streets" of encampments.

According to the New York Post, the initiative has faced sharp criticism from human rights advocates and public organizations, who view the approach as inhumane and dangerous.

The idea remains under discussion, but Parris claims he is ready to bring the proposal to a vote in the city council. Experts warn that such measures could worsen the situation and increase mortality among vulnerable populations.
