Charities are calling it a public health emergency. They say addiction problems have been made even worse by the Covid crisis while cuts in funding means support is often not there for those who need it.
Although because of delays in registering deaths – most will have actually happened before the pandemic began.

When it comes to drugs, I always think of the Philippine president. What he is doing is perfect. He has his hitmans who eliminate the drug dealers and users. Ohh well, we are in the so called western democracy which you can’t do or tell others what to do. Pathetic.
why is there no policing of cocaine especially ..and heroin….in the UK we ignore organised crime and corruption…..also we should drug test all elected politicians and state broadcast workers….deep deep corruption..
I think the main reason is because the society we live in seems to perpetuate hatred, especially for those who sit outside of the status quo. Furthermore government policy seems to enable harmful drug dealing and as a result more and more illegal activity. So when people think about getting clean, they take one look at the society which placed them in this position and think ‘Why on earth would I want to go back to that?’
