local needle exchange

ad

i was hesitant to use the local needle exchange as i have read on other forums uk centres tend to have a slight attitude towards the steroid users, and walking into the centre on the high street is a bit risky for the old rumour mill.

everything was actually very smooth nice person dealing with me, no stress minimum questions.

in fact sorted sharp box and enough needles, syringes and wipes to last the damn year.

instead of guiding straight out the door after like another walk in and out drugged up service user i was expecting them to do, they encouraged me to come back at week 4 of cycle to ask how its going and enquire about sides and see whether they needed to refer me for tests on blood and liver and check blood pressure.

was expecting to get the health service lecture on why i should not use but that was not the case.

all in all glad i spoke to them and feel confident in the ability to go to them and the nurse for monitoring.

Google your state and county syringe laws.
Most have a clean needle program.
I go to a local Rite Aid that participates in the program.
No questions, no pressure, no ID, no hassle.

That was in the UK???
I want to come over there SOOO bad for a visit.
Although being American, I should probably prepare for an ass-kicking when I hit the local pub due to the idiocy of my fucked-up government.

The needle exchanges over here are run by the DEA, complete with trapdoor and holding cells down below, ....

Good to hear! Will be visiting my local needle exchange on my next cycle in January. I've had friends who've said it's just full of smack heads. Oh well, at least I'll be the biggest there ;)
