Is there nowhere to get them free?
Over here in the UK, (probably cos we've got so many smack heads wandering about), we have clinic where you go and register almost anonymously, (just your initials and DOB) and then they ask what you need and just give them to you. I got all the needles, syringes, swabs for my cycle, and a sharps box to take the used ones back, all in one visit.
Its all a government thing to help any drug user get clean equipment to try and reduce the spread of diseases.
Is there anything like that in the States?
