I'm running hula hoop classes in support of different charities. The current charity I'm supporting is the Transform Drug Policy Foundation. They have done incredible work for years in bringing to light the injustices and harms of the prohibition of drugs - and in particular the many ways that our drug laws actually increase potential harms from drugs.
Over 100 people a week die in the UK from drug over-doses. Many of these deaths would be preventable if drugs were considered a health issue rather than a criminal one. People could seek the help they needed without fear of recrimination and the drug market would not be controlled by dealers with no care for health outcomes.
