Drug-law reform campaigner Peter Krykant talks about his own experience as a serious drug user before eventually going into recovery and turning his life around, We discuss the reasons that people start taking drugs in the first place and we take a detailed look at Scotland’s shocking drug-death record in recent years, Peter also explains why he set up a drug-consumption room programme in Glasgow and how it can benefit society as a whole, by helping people into different forms of recovery, removing individuals from the cycle of offending and imprisonment, and freeing up taxpayers money that would otherwise be spent on policing and prosecution.
