Fighting for the rights of people who use drugs and an end to the needless pain, suffering, and loss of life directly as a result of archaic, outdated, and inhumane drug laws.
Visited the Thistle yesterday. Glasgow new DCR, looks nice & clean but I'm sure it will get more of a lived in look soon with many visits. A mobile site in the city centre still needed, speaking to people at Queen Street Station who have not used it as in their words, "its to far".

So this what I'm mostly known for, in 2020 I set up & operated the 1st safer drug consumption site in the UK. The unsanctioned mobile injection site operated in Glasgow city centre & over the course of nearly a year supervised circa 1000 injections, managed 9 overdoses & changed hearts & minds.

2 years ago this month I visited Lisbon Drug Consumption Room. Having only seen H17 Copenhagen & ran the unsanctioned Glasgow site it was eye-opening.
On arrival you're welcomed with the cafe. Portugal were playing this day & participants were enjoying the game on TV.

As Scotland opens the 1st official DCR in the UK my friend Kojo Koram looks back at my contribution during Covid. Is civil disobedience the only way to bring change? Where & when will harm reduction be implemented, can we rely on others, or do we save ourselves?

For years Xmas trees I woke up to were in shop windows.
I'm thankful I've got a wee 3ft tree, waking up outside on Xmas day is hard & it's been a hard few years, mountains of debt, divorce, now breaking pride & asking for help to give my kids a nice Xmas.
