Hello from Glasgow! 👋🏼

Behind me is a centre that's working to save the lives of so many drug users here.

While society continues to treat drug users as disposable, it’s good to see services like this exist.

We desperately need this service in London, but our Mayor refuses to get on board.

This really is excellent Zoe. I look forward to reading the MPS' response!
Decriminalisation, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights & even a story about how Viagra became legal!

When I spoke with the Met Commissioner last year he said he was yet to see any evidence to support taking a new approach to drugs so I wrote him a letter.

UK cannabis seizure data is incredibly telling of the Gov's failure to control drug markets.

Seizures ⬆️53% from 2023.

Over half of all seizures are 5g or under, with 38% of plant seizures being just 1 - this is personal use.

Is there a better argument for decrim?
