light. sometimes i hate saying that because i don't want to jinx anything. but it looks good. most bay area bridges look pretty quiet. a live look at the golden gate, everything is moving nicely through as is san mateo bridge. it is getting crowded on the west bound side, right hand side of the screen for those heading to 101. it is calm before the storm as far as traffic conditions. it is get away friday. a lot of people are expected to head out of town. if you are hitting the roads leaving after 2:00 at least until 8:00 tonight, those will be the busiest times. east bound 80 commute, a lot of people heading to the snow for ski week. give yourself extra time and plan ahead. in san francisco, a new drug is showing up on city streets. it's a horse tranquilizer with horrific side effects. officials are sounding the alarm. we have learned the san

francisco health department found traces of xylazine in bodies of four people who died of drug overdoses. it is not an opioid and commonly mixed with illicit drugs like fentanyl and heroine. >> effects are disturbing, can cause necrotic ulcers that spread and depress your system. we talked to a man able to lift himself out of a fentanyl addiction. >> reporter: xylazine is a vet tranquilizer most commonly known on the streets as tranq. most people don't know they're using it. tom wolfe's addiction spiraled out of control after hooked on oxycodone after a foot surgery. within months this father and husband ended up calling the streets of san francisco his home. >> basically offered an ultimatum at a certain point

by her to go to rehab or leave the home. i chose to leave the home. addiction won at that point and i ended up homeless on the street. >> reporter: he is trying to lift others out of addiction knowing the next high could lead to death. >> i don't want to just say just say no because that's from the '80s. right now all i will say is the illicit drug supply or drugs you biot street are not safe. >> reporter: the reason, drugs are being mixed to make them more potent. >> you wouldn't think you need to add to fentanyl it is so powerful itself. but what drug users are doing is adding xylazine to fentanyl and cocaine and heroine, but mostly fentanyl, tonhancer sustain thhigh ty can get. >> reporter: the executive director of national coalition against prescription drug abuse, she lost her son to an overdose. what makes street drugs so deadly is users don't know

exactly what they're getting. >> imagine if you had a gun that had a chamber to hold ten bullets and you had put eight bullets in and you spin it. that's what it is when you use fentanyl. there is eight in ten chance if you use cocaine, meth or something like that, it is laced with fentanyl and you can die. >> reporter: now it may not just be fentanyl. there are signs xylazine is seeping into the market. you can walk out and smell the rotting flesh. it's awful. >> it's been prominent in the east coast especially pennsylvania where it is estimated tranq is in 90% of philadelphia dope supply. many don't know it's in the meth or fentanyl they're using until they start to see their skin decompose. >> this is like how it's healed. it just heals like a burn. this was like all open. >> reporter: melanie is a recovering addict and didn't

know her drugs were laced with xylazine. >> i came here because this was the easiest most convenient open air drug market. it was 15 minutes from where i was raised. >> reporter: according to san francisco department of public health, it was the first time the city found traces of xylazine after doing tests on four overdose victims last month. there have been no reports of skin wounds caused by the drug yet in the city. but some are concerned tranq will be prevalent in the drug supply on the streets. >> we don't have time because there are two people dying a day from overdose. we are really stuck in a quagmire of what to do. >> a study in june found xylazine in 36 states. fda issued a nationwide alert to doctors. because tranq is not an opioid, it does not respond to narcan which is used to reverse fentanyl overdoses. this week, fda panel

recommended narcan be made available overt the counter. a final decision will be made in the next weeks. one lawmaker trying to make amsterdam style cannabis coffee shops a reality in the state. >> going back to the story that you were talking about with narcan available, hopefully, it's a game changer. so it is heart breaking to see that there is more where there isn't the protection. >> it's like we can't keep up. once we figure something out that might help, there is something else. it's really scary. 6:09. relief this morning after a kidnapped 2-year-old girl was found safe. what we are learning about the woman who took the child. that's next in our bay area beat. i have travel tips if you are heading to tahoe. it may be a rough ride an

area cafe and ordering lunch with a joint on the side. that could be reality soon. a new bill looking to legalize cannabis cafes. a local dispensary wants the bill to pass and why some lawmakers think it could be what the state needs to do in order to help the cannabis industry. >> reporter: for the last three years, dracari donaldson has walked past vacant store envisioned all the th hethspace. >> a neighbor cafe n both enjoy that they purchase at my location as well as a coffee or a muffin or even just nice music. >> reporter: he can't open a cafe like that because under current california law, dispensaries aren't allowed to sell food or drinks. >> it was rolled out as a

medicine first which is great. i am happy that worked out. at the same time what was stripped from it was culture behind cannabis. >> reporter: that loss of culture is one of the reasons dracari believes the industry is struggling so much. his shop is no exception. >> i think across the board, revenue is probably down about 20%. >> reporter: a local assembly member is hoping to change that. he has introduced a bill that would end ban on food and drinks allowing dispensaries to open cafes. >> we see from places around the world like amsterdam that people will come to a cafe, smoke cannabfeor consume it however when do, eat, coffee, sandwich, and that will create thousands of jobs, bring people from all over the country and the world and be a huge boost to tourism and hospitality. >> several california cities

including san francisco are already on board with the idea. however, that doesn't mean there hasn't been push back. >> some people are concerned this is promoting drug use at a time when we really have a serious problem with drugs in our state. >> reporter: the assembly member says that problem stems from illegal drugs, not recreational marijuana use. he believes cannabis cafes will promote safe consumption and boost tourism. customers at dracari's shop agree. >> i think if there are solid yelp reviews on food and i got good feedback. >> reporter: he told me he is all for it. opening a cafe would boost revenue and he believes it would bring back some of the culture that's lost. >> create that sense of community by bringing people together through entertainment, food, and another way to socialize. >> reporter: of course that

dream is dependent on whether or not the assembly member's bill is passed. while that process continues, dracari remains stuck walking by the vacant store front every day, his dream just out of reach, locked behind a gate. happy friday. thanks for joining us. we are so glad the weekend is finally here. we are ready. it is time for the morning mix. a san francisco assembly member went to dinner with kim kardashian. the two unlikely dinner guests met to talk about criminal justice reforms. he posted this picture here on instagram after dinner. he said they discussed new legislation which would put incarcerated parents in prison closer to home so they can better support their children. his sister has worked alongside kim kardashian for more than five years helping in her quest to become an

attorney and reform the criminal justice system. >> so they're kind of using each other. >> absolutely. why not? >> why not? it's hard to think of her in this role knowing her past and stuff like that. i think it's good. i read an article where he said she's deeply committed to this work. i think that makes a differs. when you are not just doing it just because, there is a passion. i am glad he hosted and i am glad they're helping each other out. >> i respect her for taking this path. when the celebrities take a platform of continuing their education and doing it for something good or they're passionate about, that's awesome. they're really focused on helping people on probation not get back into prison which is a huge problem we see for tiny offenses. it's a great conversation. good for her. >> i think we can take these seriously when they come from her. when you are 20, 25, you are
