California's controversial new fuel standard aimed at replacing fossil fuels has been rejected for lacking regulatory clarity.
Dr. Hillary Kunins, the city's director of behavioral health, argued that the stigma and barriers caused by the overregulation of methadone prevent individuals from accessing and remaining in treatment. She compared this situation to requiring a person with heart disease to visit a specialized clinic daily for medication, emphasizing the absurdity of such rigid regulations for individuals seeking care for substance use disorders.
