Absolutely grim reading. In particular Dundee being the drug death capital of Europe. I've read up a lot about this and it really isn't something that will change overnight. There needs to be much more education for the next generation for a start.
In Dundee last year 1 person every 5 days died a drug related death. If we are serious about stopping this then we need to legalise it or make safe zones for drug testing, consumption, and needle exchange. There really isn't much of an alternative as if we do nothing it will get worse, more loved ones will die and addicts slumped in streets, needles found in playparks will become more prominent
Etizolam is the absolute main reason why Dundee and Scotland as a whole has such high drug deaths. An absolute Russian roulette everytime they are taken especially when mixed with other illicit drugs and at 30p a pill it isn't going anywhere. If we can regulate it, test it alongside heroin and make sure it is safe then these figures plummet imo. It's as simple as that.
Why do we need different laws that don’t have the horrific results we have than the rest of the Uk?
The Scottish government were warned when they cut funding what would happen....and fückin ignored it.
Until the Scottish government are brought to account we will continue to suffer these horrific stats.
We have people who vote for a party that has one fückin policy and when everything starts failing...look to blame someone else...usually the ‘Toareez’ which is only a euphemism for ‘the bastārd English’
We are reaping what the SNP have sown.
