Good, only about 20 years too late, but glad we’re finally seeing some progress.
In light of recent news of dodgy additives killing folk this is good. Hopefully it will save some lives.
I believe they already offer that at the safe use room.
Also, the problem is getting people to engage. A vast number of drug users don’t want to wait for their hit, nor give up any for testing.
Plenty of customers.
Imagine if the government just decriminalised substances instead …
.. the taboo/adrenaline of doing a no-no rule would wear off .. FAST
.. they could regulate the quality of substances anyway and make it affordable for people who choose to take substances
Stamp a card like rations in WW2 for daily, weekly or monthly allowances …
… Profit from an entirely new industry opening up, more job opportunities, less deaths, less time and money wasted punishing people for consuming substances and Influx of tourism
Honestly why the absolute fuck is this such a difficult concept to implement? Smh … At least the government managed to stop free hot choc refills at wetherspoons, that’ll fix the country!
LOL
Don’t want to sound churlish but as others have said, this is very good but very late.
Nothing can change Scots drug treatment strategies of the last 20 years but hopefully this will help stem the tide of deaths.
In case you forgot to take them with you??
This will be shut down by Westminster. Drugs policy is a ‘reserved matter’ and they will want to make sure the Jockistanis remember their place.
A lot of pearls will be clutched over this, mainly by people with no ideas beyond Lock ’em up and throw away the key!
A positive step towards dealing with these issues like grown ups
I don’t know man. I grew up in Vancouver Canada and while this increases the dignity and safety of drug use it definitely did not decrease new drug users. Vancouver has one of the highest and most concentrated homeless populations in the world now.
