A Heroin User in Stockholm

Another video from the Hungarian Civil Liberties Union [11], this time in partnership with the Swedish Drug Users Union [12]. Sweden's government is one of the world's most prohibitionist, but nevertheless has moved toward harm reduction in recent years by expanding needle exchange into a national policy [13]. Previously needle exchange was happening only in two cities in the nation's south. Well, there's still no needle exchange in Stockholm, according to HCLU, it's even hard to get into a methadone maintenance program, and those who do often face negative attitudes from the program's staff. Check out the video below, or here [14].
