UK’s first drug consumption room to open this month in Glasgow

The UK’s first official consumption room for illegal drugs including heroin and cocaine will open in Glasgow later this month.

As of 13 January, the Safer Drugs Consumption Facility on Hunter Street will allow people to take substances under the supervision of clinicians.

It had been due to open in October but was pushed back while checks were carried out on the building’s water and ventilation systems.

The facility – known as the Thistle – will accommodate up to 30 service users at a time, 365 days a year from 09:00 until 21:00.
