Verbatim
“It is too simplistic to say that 100 people in Edinburgh died because of an unpredictable drug supply, or because of drug use itself. Drug-related deaths are shaped by a much wider set of circumstances, including poverty, trauma, deprivation, housing insecurity and mental health inequality.”
