The crisis in Scotland's second city is so severe it recently became home to the UK’s first ever drug consumption room, where addicts can inject smack and cocaine in private booths, without fear of arrest.
In the latest part of The Sun's series, Hooked, we visited the embattled city, which has been under the thumb of notorious kingpins like the 'The Iceman' Jamie Stevenson, who ran a £100million drugs empire until his downfall late last year.
Jamie Stevenson, 59, David Bilsland, 68, and Paul Bowes, 53, pleaded guilty to serious organised crime and drug offences following a trial at the High Court in Glasgow.
Earlier this year, The Sun was able to visit the controversial consumption room in the city’s East End, called the Thistle, before it officially opened in January.
A shocking 833 suspected drug deaths were recorded in Glasgow in the first nine months of 2024, according to the latest figures.
