However if more police adopt more of a helping attitude rather than an authoritarian one, then things will eventually turn around.

If you can't grow a pair then you have no purpose, only existing to further perpetuate our clearly defective societal norms.

This crises was completely predictable when the Tory’s ordered the decommissioning of harm reduction services in favour of ‘recovery’ services . In 2014 I actually go suspended for pointing in out to commissioners what would happen . Here in Luton we had the lowest rate of overdose in the region and worked closely with other statutory agencies to address associated community safety issues. Now, like so many places , problematic drug use is everywhere and overdose has rocketed . The services we provided , literally, were saving millions because people were not out begging (which deters people from coming into the town to spend money ) and there wasn’t the need to be out ‘making raises’ to support their habits . As one of the architects forcing through the recovery agenda I’d love to hear what Iain Duncan Smith has to say now because he has a huge amount to answer for .

In an increasingly atomised and individualistic society we are free to choose how we act, so gender, lifestyle, presentation etc are all free choices. Drug use, increasingly normalised by the media, is also seen as a choice and the fact that it has powerful, often painful drivers, tends to be ignored. So it is a symptom of a problem and not an actual problem in itself. So, like homelessness, poverty and so much else it will be superficially acknowledged as a problem but being outside of the mainstream will never be addressed.

So the main problem driving all of this is legality and prohibition... Been saying this for over 10 years now. Wonder if the government have any interest in doing what's right...

Won't work in the UK. You have my word. See Canada for what will happen here. We need to realise we all have different cultures, societies and political expectations. What works for Denmark will likely not work in Brazil or Nigeria or the UK!!

I think we need to talk about distress in society, what is causing it and how we as a society deal with it. The gap between the rich & poor Drug use is a naturally maladaptive coping strategy, people check out because they are dissatisfied or struggling with the realities of life. For many it is trying to manage mental health conditions. Many, many causes The solution isn't to legalise drugs it is to look at the causes why people take them in the first place, and put in policies to ameliorate those societal pressures And we need to talk about the knock on effects on family and wider society because no one lives in a vacuum. Drug use negatively affects those around the drug user. We all suffer So many pressures on society these days

Our mental Health, prison and probation services are so utterly destroyed its inevitable at this point we will suffer the Zombie Apocalypse nation wide now not just the big cities. There is just too much trauma and destitution now some people have nowhere else to turn but try to escape reality however they can.

Wow, a police officer whose first instinct is how can I be a force for good, how can I best help this situation instead of the usual aggressive, huge ego, dishonest police officers with a very, very limited knowledge of the law more than happy to victimise the public! If the police focused their efforts on policing criminality rather than trying to raise money through traffic fines or supporting bailiffs then maybe our streets would be a safer place

The crisis is a big reason why the mortality rate in the United States now is much higher than it used to be. This is seen the centers for disease control statistics. The biggest looming threat of health is the increasing bodyweight average in the United States. 50% of people will be obese by 2030. Food manufactures and medical organizations, profit greatly from poor eating habits and ignorance

Why did I ever leave Denmark?!? …. The most amazing country I have ever lived in …. I tracked a stolen iPhone to that injection station , it’s in the old meat packing station of Copenhagen. The phone did not move for hours , so we tried again the next day but the location was too general and the people around were dodgy … an adventure of sorts

If I shoot myself in the head, who fault is it? Myself, after all I shot myself in the head. Same with any drug crisis. Stop making up excuses and stop using drugs. You made the choice to put that s h I t in your system. Be responsible for your own actions.

The problems doesn't stop at people who are addicted. But affects their families and society where they live as crime rises like prostitution and theft to pay for the drugs. STD increases and now you have a multi angled monster freak crisis. I think we should be like Malaysia with drugs. Extremely hard
