Sen. Scott Wiener Discusses 'Safe Sites' For Drug Addicts To Use

California State Senator Scott Wiener joins Dr. Phil on his Phil in the Blanks podcast to discuss "safe sites" for drug addicts to use. Senator Wiener, who wrote Senate Bill 57, which would have legalized safe consumption sites in San Francisco, Oakland, Los Angeles and Los Angeles County, shares why he says he considers this to be life-saving legislation – and why he thinks Governor Newsom vetoed it.

"We have tried arresting people, incarcerating people, and for some, that works," Senator Wiener says. "But for most people, it doesn't. That's what safe consumption sites are about – first and foremost, making sure people don't die."
