"Scotland's first safe drug consumption facility opens today in what has been hailed as a “crucial milestone” in tackling addiction.
The Thistle Centre in Glasgow will provide a space where drug users can take illegal substances such as heroin and cocaine under medical supervision in a clean and hygienic environment.
Staff will also be able to assist anyone who suffers an overdose.
The centre will be supported with £2 million of Scottish Government funding each year."
