Only few DU are willing to declare openly themselves as People Who Use DrugsPeople Who Use Drugs and even - to consider themselves equal and competent partners of the other stakeholders working in the field
Policy makers and professionals in the drug field disrespect us as partners, ignore our opinion - in general - neglect the rights and the needs of the people from the DU
Policy makers and professionals in the drug field feed the stigma, the repression, the marginalization, the criminalization, etc. In short:
the PROHIBITION with all of of itsthe PROHIBITION with all of of itsDESTROYING and DEADLY CONSEQUENCES !!!DESTROYING and DEADLY CONSEQUENCES !!!
