Nuanced and sensitive look at why young people get drawn into County Lines, and why it is so hard to escape. And how systemic injustices, and the system itself repeatedly fails the traumatised young people involved. Built on interviews with affected people

This was fun to be part of. There are really important conversations to be had about how the legacies of the Bristol slave trade of these substances continue to shape current challenges in the city around drug policy and systemic racism
Bristols complex relationship with drugs-from the transatlantic trade of tobacco, sugar & rum to recent harm reduction approaches-shaped our city
Great pilot of our Bristol Drugs Boat Tour, a legacy of our @HelloBrigstow project, w/ @NeilCMCarrier + @BristolAnthArch students🚤💊

Although no more likely to use drugs than white people, Black people are far more likely to be charged for possession, to be taken to court, to be fined or imprisoned and to get a criminal record than their white peers
Legal drug markets must address and repair these harms
Dwayne tells his story of being stopped and searched for drugs: "I believe the police stopped me for being Black, no other reason"

Dice Pizarro que hay que revivir el glifosato. Revivir la fumigación que ha generado enfermedades, muerte, hambre y desertificación, y que no ha servido para acabar con el mercado de la cocaína ni con la guerra
Le llaman improvisación a la innovación y prefieren volver a las 👇🏼
"si es la COP de la gente, la gente la puede tomar, la puede resignificar y la puede hacer también para sus procesos de resistencia social"
Desde el ‘Monumento a la Resistencia’, la ministra Susana Muhamad destacó el proceso de ‘BoiCOP’ liderado por jóvenes en Cali rumbo a la cumbre de biodiversidad: “Esta es la COP de la gente, y puede resignificarse para sus procesos de resistencia social”. #VocesySonidos

It's 10 years since Jake died and drug related deaths continue to rise. Meanwhile more than 110 Jakes die every week in the UK alone 💔. There's political will within Bristol for change. Here's one measure that could save lives.bristol247.com/opinion/your-…

Lots more cannabis is being seized at UK airports
What's behind this and what can be done about it?
I recorded a brief interview on this story for @itvnews at 6.30pm tonight, & also discussing on @TimesRadio at 8.30pm
A quick thread 🧵 1/
bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c935…
“When you are a harm reduction worker, you lose a lot of clients. And what's painful about that, is that you lose people who didn't have to die. It's just because we don't have the services. Or we have very harmful policies.”
The staff of #harmreduction services not only have to contend with the tension with other services but also additional workload and emotional difficulty in witnessing clients being rejected from services they require.
