安迪·伯纳姆在接受英国广播公司苏格兰新闻频道采访时表示，他不支持将个人使用毒品合法化。2026年9月25日，首相安迪·伯纳姆表示，他不支持将个人使用毒品合法化，而就在几天前，苏格兰首席大臣刚刚对此表示支持。
Andy Burnham told BBC Scotland News he did not support decriminalising drugs for personal use 25 September 2026 Prime Minister Andy Burnham has said he does not support decriminalising drugs for personal use, days after Scotland's first minister backed it.
在最新数据显示苏格兰因毒品死亡的人数激增11%后，约翰·斯温尼表示，他的政府支持非刑事化，这意味着个人使用毒品将不会面临刑事处罚。
After the latest figures showed Scotland's drug deaths spiked by 11%, John Swinney said his government was in favour of decriminalisation meaning people would not face criminal punishment for personal drug use.
他表示，此举可能是一系列措施的一部分，旨在“提供更多的控制权，并有能力为受毒品影响的人提供更大的支持”。
He said the move could be part of a range of measures which would offer "more control and ability to provide greater support to those affected by drugs use".
在接受英国广播公司苏格兰新闻频道采访时，伯纳姆表示他不会推行这项政策，但承认在这一问题上存在不同观点。
In an interview with BBC Scotland News, Burnham said he would not be pursuing the policy, but accepted there were different views on the issue.
安迪·伯纳姆告诉英国广播公司苏格兰新闻频道，他承认在这一问题上存在不同观点。英国政府负责管控毒品政策，若要在苏格兰推行非刑事化，必须获得英国政府的同意。
Andy Burnham told BBC Scotland News he accepted there were different views on the issue The UK government, which controls drugs policy, would have to agree to decriminalisation for it to be rolled out in Scotland.
“我认识约翰，我尊重他，我知道他坚持自己的观点是有充分理由的，所以我不会去干涉，”伯纳姆说。
Andy Burnham told BBC Scotland News he accepted there were different views on the issue The UK government, which controls drugs policy, would have to agree to decriminalisation for it to be rolled out in Scotland.
“但我曾以大曼彻斯特市长的身份审视过这些问题——当时我就无法支持那种做法。”
"I know John, I respect him, I know he will hold his view for good reasons so I'm not going to go there," said Burnham.
“我认为我们不应该向年轻人传递令人困惑的信息，我认为我们应该明确毒品的危害，这就是我的立场。”在胡姆扎·尤萨夫的领导下，苏格兰政府于2023年宣布支持将个人使用毒品非刑事化。但英国保守党政府拒绝了这一计划，称其具有危险性。
"But I looked at these issues as Mayor of Greater Manchester - I couldn't support that approach then. "I don't think we should send a confusing message to young people, I think we should be clear about the harm of drugs and that's the position I take." The Scottish government, under the leadership of Humza Yousaf, announced in 2023 that it supported decriminalising personal drug use.
苏格兰民族党在其2024年的竞选纲领中包含了这一政策，并指出葡萄牙在2001年放宽毒品法律的例子可以作为潜在的参考模式。
But the Conservative UK government rejected the plan as dangerous.
斯温尼表示，他所在的政府目前的方针是“在苏格兰所能做的范围内进行极限测试”。
The SNP included the policy in its 2024 manifesto, with the party pointing to the example of Portugal, which relaxed drugs laws in 2001, as a potential model.
这些措施包括在格拉斯哥建立了英国首个“更安全的用药设施”：在该设施中，吸毒者可以在医疗监督下注射海洛因或可卡因。
Swinney said his administration's current approach was "testing to the limits what we can do in Scotland".
部长们还宣布，该国首个用于检测毒品的检测设施也即将在该市投入使用。
This has included setting up the UK's first safer consumption facility in Glasgow which allows drug users to inject heroin or cocaine while under medical supervision.
这一议题在苏格兰议会引发了分歧：苏格兰民族党（SNP）、苏格兰绿党（Scottish Greens）和自由民主党（Lib Dems）呼吁采取更多“减少危害”的措施，比如建立更多这样的“安全注射点”。
Ministers have also announced that the country's first drugs-checking facility will soon open in the city.
与此同时，苏格兰保守党（Scottish Conservatives）和改革党（Reform Party）则谴责这种“由国家支持的吸毒行为”，并要求关闭该设施，转而增加戒毒康复床位的数量。
The Scottish Parliament has been divided by the issue, with the SNP, Scottish Greens and Lib Dems calling for more "harm reduction measures" like safer injection sites. Meanwhile the Scottish Conservatives and Reform have decried "state-sponsored drug taking", calling for the Thistle facility to be shut down in favour of more rehab beds.
苏格兰政府的毒品事务部长玛丽·托德（Maree Todd）表示，政府采取的是以公共卫生为导向的毒品治理策略，旨在减少毒品带来的危害并挽救生命。她指出，这样的设施可以让持有毒品的人得到治疗和支持，而不是被定罪和排斥。
The Scottish government's drugs minister, Maree Todd, said the Scottish government was taking a public health approach to drugs, which would reduce harm and save lives. She said it would allow people found in possession of drugs to be treated and supported rather than criminalised and excluded.
托德进一步强调：“证据表明，这些设施有助于消除人们获得帮助和治疗的障碍。我们也明确认识到，强有力的支持、治疗服务以及减少危害的措施同样至关重要。”
Todd continued: "Evidence also suggests it can help remove barriers to people accessing support and treatment. We are equally clear that strong support, treatment and harm reduction services are also essential.
她还表示：“我们正在继续扩大纳洛酮（naloxone）治疗和住院康复服务的覆盖范围。”
"We continue to widen access to naloxone treatment and residential rehabilitation." More than 11,000 drug-related deaths have been recorded in Scotland over the past decade.
过去十年中，苏格兰记录在案的与毒品相关的死亡人数已超过1.1万人。
"We continue to widen access to naloxone treatment and residential rehabilitation." More than 11,000 drug-related deaths have been recorded in Scotland over the past decade.
这一危机因毒贩将强效合成阿片类药物与海洛因、可卡因等危险药物混合使用而变得更加严重。
The crisis has been worsened by the emergence of dealers mixing powerful synthetic opioids with heroin, cocaine and other dangerous drugs.
根据苏格兰国家记录机构（National Records of Scotland, NRS）的数据，去年的死亡人数增加主要是由于男性死亡率的上升；在贫困程度最高的地区，与毒品相关的死亡人数是贫困程度最低地区的15倍。
National Records of Scotland (NRS) said last year's increase was driven by a rise in fatalities among males, with drug-related deaths in the most deprived areas 15 times as high as in the least deprived areas.
2024年的最新数据显示，苏格兰的年龄调整后死亡率为每百万人216人，而英格兰为91人，威尔士为140人，北爱尔兰为135人。
The most recent comparable data from 2024 shows that Scotland had an age-adjusted death rate of 216 per million compared with 91 for England, 140 for Wales and 135 for Northern Ireland.
