San Francisco moves closer to adopting a "recovery first " drug policy that sets abstinence from illicit drugs as its primary goal.

Opponents say emphasis on stopping drug use alienates those who are not ready to quit.

Proposed policy amendment amended to clarify that distributing safer-use paraphernalia and linking people to social services remain critical to the city's response.
