Rediscover activism

…we appear to have forgotten how to like and respect people who use drugs… We need to reimagine how harm reduction can work in this austere climate and, yes, maybe this also means we need to rediscover a new style of activism to once again make a difference by keeping people who inject drugs alive and well.

not passionate

It’s not that I’m ‘passionate’ about it. I’m ‘passionate’ about art. I’m not ‘passionate’ about people dying in the streets, I’m fucking angry! Don’t romanticise my anger!

Unsupervised

We have unsupervised injection sites that are located in your local McDonald’s, 7-11, and neighbourhood grocery store bathroom. People die in those situations and no one has ever died at a supervised consumption site..

Legalising cocaine unlikely to impact use – people already take it

Legalising Class A drugs such as cocaine, ecstasy or LSD would likely do little to change levels of use, reveals a new YouGov survey: the proportion of people who have already taken it either matches or outweighs the proportion who would if it were legal, indicating that the law does not seem to present much of a barrier.
