Schottland. Two Months In, A Deeper Look at The Thistle, Glasgow’s Drug Consumption Room
Scotland has been making the news for the past year on several headlines. First, as the capital of drug-related deaths in Europe, with 22.4 deaths recorded per 100,000 in 2023. This cost is particularly felt in Glasgow, Scotland’s capital, where there were 33.8 deaths per 100,000 in 2023.

The Thistle, the UK’s first legal safer injection site, opened on 13 January. (Talking Drugs, UK, 17.03.2025)
