Jerry Brown has rejected legislation that would have allowed San Francisco to open what could be the nation’s first supervised drug injection sites under a pilot program. Advocates of “safe injection” sites say the supervised locations prevent drug overdoses and provide access to counselling. San Francisco Mayor London Breed has vowed to open a supervised injection site in the city, where public drug use is a major problem. It would have required all 34 University of California and California State University campuses to make medication that induces abortion available at their health centres by 2022. Jerry Brown approved the legislation Sunday that forces changes at California-based corporations by 2020.
