Syringes, streams of blood, rivers of heroin and cocaine. In the historic center of Sassari the effects of drug addiction are multiplying and residents are raising the alarm yet again. "It's a constant coming and going of people taking drugs - they report - We see people even piercing their necks or under their testicles."

The narrow streets of the lower part of Corso Vittorio Emanuele are the backdrop to the desperation of those who use drugs. «Seven/eight people get punctured with the same syringe». And the needles are everywhere, on the ground, hidden under doors, thrown into openings in the street. "They leave blood in front of the doors - continue the inhabitants - and sleep on the steps in front of the entrance."

Right at the end of the sentence a person appears with a syringe behind his ear, left there as if it were a cigarette. Escape. And in via Cesare Mastino, where a card tournament has been played for a week, blood is in every corner, even on the chairs, on the poster of the event used as gauze while several syringes are abandoned on the metal surface of the beer tap. «Why doesn't anyone intervene? - they ask - The situation is worsening."
