We have this real grey area in the law and that's why I'm hopeful that they'll push through with The Grey Area, because the misuse of drugs act doesn't specifically cover safer injecting facilities, and that's what we're asking for.
What happens when one person decides they've had enough of watching lives lost to overdoses? Peter Krykant is that person. In this episode of 'Choose Your Struggle', host Jay Shifman sits down with Peter, a harm reduction activist from Scotland, who took an extraordinary step to combat the overdose crisis. Frustrated by the rising numbers of overdose deaths, Peter transformed a van into Scotland's first mobile safe consumption site. His mission?
To save lives and change the conversation around drug use and policy. The journey wasn't easy. Peter faced legal hurdles and political resistance, but his determination never wavered. He talks about the vital role of grassroots activism in pushing for change and how stigma still shapes drug policy today. This episode isn't just about Peter's story; it's a call to action.
Peter shares practical ways you can support harm reduction efforts and help create a more compassionate and effective approach to drug policy. If you're passionate about making a difference or simply curious about the power of one person's resolve, this episode is a must-listen.
