I think that as time goes on, a lot more of these medium sized communities where heroin and other opiate abuse is taking hold are going to have to make some decisions regarding safe injection sites and needle distribution.
To the community it should hardly be more than another office building or truck on the street, IMO.
It's certainly preferable to an ocean of used syringes in the gutters and unchecked spread of disease.
Then again, the NIMBY mindset hasn't changed at all over the years.
- baldfat 11y agoI usually pick up and throw away a random used needle once a year in the city. I think no one sees this in the suburbs because of the ability to have more privacy there. BUT I was hiking in the middle of the Adirondack Mountains 10 miles form any dirt road and I ran into several used needles and a burnt spoon.
