Evaluate substance abuse clinics locations, spread them out

The city has scores of free or low-costs drug and alcohol abuse clinics and treatment centers, but many are not located in areas where they are most needed, and they tend to be clustered around places like 125th Street in Harlem. I will launch a citywide program to evaluate the location of substance abuse clinics and make sure they are adequately spread out to support people in all parts of New York City.

I pushed cannabis bill, but let's be smart about marijuana

I supported and pushed the cannabis bill. My concern is that we can't send the wrong message to people that it's okay to smoke a joint and then go do an operation, or it's okay to smoke a joint and then go to school in the morning, or to operate heavy equipment. That is my concern. We need to let people know of the medical benefits, but also the medical concerns. Let's let the medical professionals give people the right information so they can be smart in using marijuana. Source: Vanity Fair on 2021 NYC Mayoral race , Jun 21, 2021
