Name: Scotland: Valium Crisis
Released: 2016-06-07

In the third installment of Drugs Map of Britain, we delve into the Valium epidemic in Scotland, where a staggering 75% of drug-related fatalities are linked to this medication. Countless pills, both genuine and fake, can be purchased on the streets for as little as 20p each. We encounter individuals who are caught in the grip of addiction, highlighting the tragic consequences for people like Levi, who has been using Valium since the age of 13. Has this commonly prescribed ‘mother’s little helper’ transformed into a hidden threat to Scotland?
