This was a classic example of fear media tried to install. "What if someone dies in the back of your van?" Guess what no-one died, no HIV was transmitted despite multiple people with HIV using the service & rather than death, 9 overdoses were non-fatal.
🎙️ People will be injecting heroin in the back of your van. What happens if someone dies? 🗣️ That’s a fear tactic Peter Krykant defends his plan to set up an illegal drug consumption room in his van in Glasgow bbc.in/39P4TVj #VictoriaLIVE

A friend recovered from 15 years heroin addiction with psilocybin treatment. A single dose was sufficient, now he's been clean for 5 years and still going strong.

We're deeply saddened by the recent riots. If anyone in our pharmacy family needs support, please reach out. We have Listening Friends, counselling & employment advice for those threatened at work & not members of a trade union. Victim Support can also assist. You are not alone💚
