In 2020, local activist and former drug user Peter Krykant decided that he had had enough of seeing people dying from drug overdoses in his home town of Glasgow. So he took it upon himself to set up and operate an unsanctioned harm-reduction service. He kitted out a minivan, and later a former ambulance, to provide a mobile overdose-prevention service. He did so openly in defiance of the law and was arrested, only for the charges to be dropped.
