Drugs binge in Amsterdam

Well before I make suggestions and attend the meeting(s) I want to know what previous action has taken place, so I asked in that very thread. People only seem to care about putting their name on the list. Why go to the meeting with out some idea of what has happened or been tried previously? What a fucking help that thread was.

I took you off ignore.

OK - this thread seems as good as any to highlight just how naive what you are saying is.

Read the linked thread again. The whole point is that what has gone before has not been effective. People are still dying, in a lot of people's eyes needlessly. The whole thread and meeting is about collating the previous action and moving forward so less people die. If whatever action was there was effective before, great, but it wasn't effective enough. The consensus seems to be that maybe this was because there were multiple strands / organisations all working separately but not achieving a cohesive whole. It's about learning what other groups were doing and pulling them together.

This means asking, in the meeting, what has already been done, recording it and making everyone else aware and then pushing it forward as a larger group.

Do you take issue with this? And if so why?

The whole idea of that thread is that nothing done in the past was effective enough but things have been done that others are not aware of - hence a group meeting.

Again I feel your heart is in the right place and if you want to help then go to the meeting, listen, and then put forward your suggestion.

David.

Right - where's my drugs?
