Most people who are using Glasgow’s new safe drug consumption room are using cocaine, according to health bosses.
The Thistle – where drug users can take illegal drugs in a clean, safe environment and under medical supervision – opened just over two weeks ago.
About 60 people have used the facility and the vast majority are men, a meeting of Glasgow City Integration Joint Board was told.
Pat Togher, Glasgow’s health and social care chief officer, said the Hunter Street facility has been used 239 times, with 87% of those for cocaine use.
