The Thistle, the UK's first drug consumption room, aims to reduce overdoses and drug-related harm by allowing supervised injection of illegal drugs.
After a decade of debate, the Thistle opened as Glasgow's response to public drug use, with a focus on community health and safety.
Although the UK government does not endorse other similar facilities, it will not obstruct the Thistle, highlighting a territorial division in drug policy.
Local residents express concern that the Thistle could increase drug dealing, while some charities warn that it may promote self-harm among users.
