can anyone shed any light/experiences about needle exchanges. I can understand why locals might be cheesed off with a late night pharmacy, just from the increased comings and goings when you are trying to sleep. Feelings are running high because of fears and assumptions (some justified, others not) on what might happen. Real experences please. Personally, I don't see why anyone should have to accommodate others self imposed needs if they have a negative impact on residents' quality of life (nimby? moi? yes and sorry NO apologies) however, if in actual fact there are no real negatives - you don't get gangs of people hanging around, actually there arn't any disgarded needles or other unsavoury stuff, well let those proposing this make that clear and offer some guarantees to those who might be affected. Lastly, some of my best friends were drug users, and a more boring, selfish bunch of t**ts you could not wish to meet.
