Check out this introductory video to the safer drug consumption facility opening today in Glasgow. I'm delighted to be involved in the evaluation, which will be vital to understanding what works, what doesn't and how the approach might be taken forward in the UK.

If we are serious about reducing drug-related harm, *everyone* needs to know what is in circulation in the local drug market - adulterants, contaminants, fluctuating purity - to avert overdose & poisoning *before* consumption.

In the late 90s & early 2000s we in the UK received (very roughly) 80,000 asylum applications per year.
Mainly people escaping Balkan wars.
Today in these “unprecedented” times of “invasion” by small boat… we receive pretty much the exact same numbers.
Had you been taken in?
I wouldn’t blame you.
