Great podcast on drug user organising with me & Wez from Scottish Drugs Forum. We explore harm reduction and recovery, look at practical issues like payments for peers, and I get to celebrate drug user activism from Afghanistan to Philippines to Nigeria. #PeerWorks

It's great to hear Carey Lunan #TodayAtSDF speak at #rcpeSubstanceUse24
I am grateful to have an opportunity to speak about the impact of stigma I experienced as a person who used drugs.
