What does #Decrim actually mean?

We believe problem drug use should be treated as a health issue.

Criminalisation of drug use simply hasn’t worked.

Decriminalising drug use would put the user at the heart of drug policy.

We believe that a community-based, health-led approach would target the adverse health, social and economic consequences of drug use.

Decriminalising would mean:

• Community based harm reduction services
• Addressing disease transmission and overdoses
• Introducing supervised injection facilities
• A commitment to a client centred and evidence based recovery programmes

 

Let’s protect vulnerable drug users. Let’s save people’s lives. Let’s #Decrim
