- Early drug scenes in Switzerland: places and practices
Not only for the Swiss counterculture were certain places in the cities of central importance. Here one could buy drugs and consume and philosophize together. In Basel, people sat on the wall at Barfüsserplatz.

In 2019 a number unremarkable pink lines sprayed on the asphalt of Berlin’s Görlitzer Park caused some trouble in Berlin and a remarkable global media coverage. Somewhat sloppy drawn, these open boxes appeared alongside some of the park’s throughways, especially around some of it’s entrances.

AUTONOMOUS CULTURE WORKSHOP/WORKCITY, TOORICHde »AUTONOME KULTURWERKSTADT WOHLGROTH, ZUREICH«
In this leaflet, the squatters of the Autonome Kulturwerkstad(t)t Wohlgroth look back on the two and a half years since the occupation. Among other things, they discuss the closure of the consumption room, the sleep-in for drug consumers, and the women's emergency shelter. It is not their job, they say, "to solve the social problems of the city." Since the closure, "dealing and consumption of hard drugs are no longer tolerated. But that doesn't mean, of course, that we exclude junkies on principle."

The stuff dreams are made ofde »Der Stoff, aus dem die Träume sind«
The leaflet informs about a "pause for reflection" during which the women's emergency shelter and the sanitary room (consumption room) in the occupied Wohlgroth factory are to remain closed. The reason is problems with drug use and dealing; the "open drug scene" at Platzspitz is only a few hundred metres away from the Wohlgroth.

LEGAL AND ILLEGAL DRUGS IN CAPITALIST SOCIETYde »LEGALE UND ILLEGALE DROGEN IN DER KAPITALISTISCHEN GESELLSCHAFT«
The leaflet describes the social functions of legal and illegal drugs. Alcohol generates profits and keeps the population calm. Illegal drugs also generate large profits and at the same time they keep the non-integrated parts of the population quiet. The latter not so much because of the consumption itself but because of the criminalisation that keeps the users on their toes and puts politically active people behind prison bars.

merkwürdig still ist's in der stadt gewordende »merkwürdig still ist's in der stadt geworden«-- »strangely quiet it has become in this city«
The Arbeitsgruppe Drogen (Working Group on Drugs) of the Zurich AJZ is organising a "Drug Week" together with the Drogengruppe Zürich (Zurich Drug Group), an association of various organisations involved in movement-related drug work. The aim is to discuss the issue of drugs in general and how to deal with drugs in the movement. The context is police checks and media reports about the situation in the "Tschönki room", which was more than just a consumption room, but above all the fact that the drug problem was increasingly concentrated in the AJZ due to repression in the city.

STATEMENT ON THE CITY'S DRUG POLICYde »STELLUNGSNAHME ZUR STADTRAETLICHEN DROGENPOLITIK«
In its announcement, the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Platzspitz points out that Zurich has a "pull" on the rest of Switzerland and nearby countries not because of the distribution of meals or because of the " Filterli tables" (tables where injecting paraphernalia was exchanged for the residual heroin left in the filters) on the Platzspitz, but because of being a financial/economic and cultural centre. The narcotics officers should therefore be active in the banking district rather than on the Platzspitz.

In its statement, the Fachgruppe Gassennahe Institutionen der Stadt Zürich calls on the authorities to stop the repressive action against the "Filterli-Tische" (tables where injecting paraphernalia were exchanged for the residual heroin left in the filters) and to provide sufficient consumption rooms, decentralised syringe distribution points as well as meals and living space for drug users.
