  • It’s been an emotional and productive year in UISCE, and for all the people we know, love and work with it. We have once again had a high level of drug related deaths, and we need to ask ourselves how many of them could have been prevented? We had two Red Alerts issued in Dublin and Cork in the last few months for a synthetic drug called nitazenes which was being sold as heroin. It can be up to 75 times stronger than heroin. This resulted in a huge number of overdoses and trauma for People who use Drugs, our families and the wider community. We have seen great work done, with People who use Drugs leading out on finding out what’s not working and putting
    forward solutions to change things. UISCE continues to work with everyone, our partners, services, the state, and anyone else who is looking to make things better for us all. We had the Citizen’s Assembly on Drugs Use which has some great recommendations that if implemented, we can really get to a place where we live in strong communities with healthy people who are not shamed because of their use of drugs, where they come from and who people ‘think’ they are. So, turn the page, tune in, and have a read of what needs changing, and how we are doing it! There are loads in here from us and all the other people and groups working for change. Have a safe Christmas and if you can try reconnecting with yourself and remember, there is hope and things WILL change if we continue to work together!!

  • Well, another edition and more issues, and more work! This is the place where we get to show the world the value we have as people with lived and living experience of drugs and drugs policy, and why we should have a voice and have a stake in society. Every edition is informed by all the peers we engage with, all the pain, love, despair, and hope are expressed through this magazine and these pages. A lot has happened, and a huge amount of work is in the edition!! It’s the biggest ever edition! So, get reading, and get in touch to tell us what you think and how we can continue to fight the good fight and change things for the better!
