We actually have a large # of destitute people in my county without cells, TV, or cars.

Though we have some real "gems".

I think services like that may probably create choas if they were easily accessible.

P.s. I don't use syringes. So I wouldn't know. I'm decidedly antidrug personally. But I think I am coming around to see why a lot of people do them, or need them.

In rural areas on the edges there's a subsistence culture forming. Instead of picking berries they get welfare services. Beer is cheep. And cigarettes are the high life.

Amazon could potentially remove any incentive for these folks to go anywhere except to protest and fight over the memes.
I live in Miami-Dade county, but I grew up in the PA coal region. While similarities are hilariously astounding, it's very different. But I've lived what you're describing.

People are always going to find a way to get and use their drugs unless you're able to get rid of the source. So I would argue that having clean tools is probably safer for them. But I understand your point.

But didn't realize that this is more like... P99's 4chan or something.

except instead of random anons its a shark attack of a small clique that posts here all the time. so he's doubly fucked.

Like I've said before. I don't hate people or want to see them thrown completely to the wolves. Or crushed in the meat grinder. I never get joy from all that.

Booty bumping’ kits
The second flyer promotes “booty bumping” kits, which provides an alternative to intravenous injection.

This process has an addict inject drugs rectally, usually meth or cocaine mixed with water, through a needless syringe. A rectum is very efficient at absorption, so the high is described as more intense and longer-lasting. The flyer says this method to get high is a “good choice if your veins are hard to hit” and that it “doesn’t leave tracks.”

This seems like it will keep you addicted longer, not make it easier for an addict to be free of their deadly addiction. But Malone says this technique embraces a harm reduction model. He says it falls “on the continuum of helping people to decrease risk by avoiding the use of needles to inject drugs, because intravenous injection of drugs can produce complications such as phlebitis, vasculitis, cellulitis, vein scarring, abscesses, and systemic infections related to IV injection.”

Booty bumping kits are available at the front desk. All you need to do is ask.

I am actually an Iranian immigrant to Texas. Hope this helps!

On topic, drugs should be legal but frowned upon to the point of fists

Also, y’all are NLs

Don't forget to get at least one $68 dollar mocha latte frappe in each day.

Watch out with that. One day you’re merilly slaying decayed skellingtons and frogloks, next you’re putting in 14 hour shifts for non existent drops. Worst crack ever.
