Washington’s new drug possession law kicked in at the start of this month… After a long political fight that ended in a special session.

But while it’s still a crime to have drugs on your person, the law ALSO creates a pilot program to treat substance use disorder.

We’ll get a preview of what that might look like with Nina Shapiro of the Seattle Times. Read her story here.
