People on 'drugs frontline' share their own stories

'To help us to understand why our drugs policy is not working and what kind of change is needed, we need to hear the stories of people who are living with the impact of our current approach.'

People on the frontline of the drugs crisis are telling their personal stories in an effort to inform the debate on Ireland’s drug policy being held at the Citizens’ Assembly on Drugs Use.

The CityWide Drugs Crisis Campaign, an umbrella group of drug projects from across the country, has taken the step to ensure the voices of those most affected are heard by the assembly and society at large.
