Do exchanges even require an exchange? Here in Boulder city funded groups will just give junkies needles for free. And then you end up with needles littered all over the place. At least with an exchange junkies would keep their needles if they can manage. A few years ago 4 year old was pricked multiple times by a used needle that they found in a park.
- OmahaBoy69 4y agoWhere in Boulder are you finding needles? I'm yet to see one after ~4 years here, but I've mostly stuck around CU campus and Pearl and the surrounding areas. Plenty of discarded vapes everywhere, though.
- googlryas 4y agoBoulder Creek is the most glaring spot, but you might have trouble finding them until the homeless campers tents are forcibly removed once every 9 months. Scott Carpenter is another good spot. Park East Park is where the aforementioned kid was pricked.
- sacnoradhq 4y agoI drove through Boulder and Boulder Creek.. it didn't seem like a happy place. Denver, OTOH, seemed quite cheerful. Did I get a proper impression of each or anecdotal anecdotes?

- davesque 4y agoAnecdotal I'm afraid.
- PaulHoule 4y agoI am definitely seeing them on the ground within a few blocks of the needle exchange in Ithaca, NY and this is something that's become noticeable in the last few years. It's part of a general coarsening of urban life, where it is not unusual to hear gunshots at night, you hear about fatal stabbings just a few blocks from where a friend of mine lives downtown, etc.
