  Peter Krykant is an absolute hero. I hope one day we no longer need his help but we can recognise him for the upstanding guy he is.

  The greatest thing we can do as humans is be of service to others. Hats off to you Mr. Krykant, keep moving forward.

  Im a retired mental health professional. This is the way. It&apos;s a start. What a hero❤️<br> In countries where total decriminalisation and addiction support exist, drug use drops dramatically and drug related crime disappeares almost completely.

  I know Peter personally and every word he speaks here is the truth.<br>He is an absolute legend and I would vote for him if I were in his constituency.<br>I would implore everyone who can vote for him to do so. We need positive change!
