1 cc, 1/2 inch diabetic insulin syringes. 28 or 29 gage. 100 units. Walmart usually sells them, but in a box of a hundo and its just under 13 bucks
If the law is the same as Texas (I don't know if it is) then it is up to individual pharmacists to decide what the policy is for their particular pharmacy. I live in a pretty large city, so when I was using syringes, I would often go to small non-chain (mom & pop) pharmacies, usually ones in ghetto areas/areas where drugs are commonly purchased and they wouldn't give me any hassle. Their prices were alot higher, though, than the larger pharmacies in other areas. The trick is just to keep hitting up pharmacies until you find one that will sell them to you. It's not illegal to ask to buy them, so they can't do anything but tell you no. If they question you, you can say you are getting them for your mother (or grandmother) and she is homebound so you dont know anything about her insulin.
Extremely hard to find a pharmacist who will sell you rigs here in NJ.
It's a crapshoot.
In IL syringes are legal to buy but if you get caught with them you can get arrested (unless you have a needle card). What kind of dumb shit is that?! I have a needle card from the needle exchange but was arrested when I was younger for having clean syringes that I purchased legally from Walgreens. Is any other state like that?? I've always been curious.
They just say that a lot of times to discourage users. From what i have read md considers them a right to life item and can be sold at the pharmacists discrecion. Ive had more luck in grocery store pharms than the big chain stores. Ive even been able to get them from big chain stores in towson of all places. If the tech turns you down ask for the head pharmacist and simply explain that its a public health issue not a legal issue and a lot of them will just sell you a ten pack. I had a card for the needle exchange and a few times i said i couldnt get to the van bc its closed and that would usually always work. I mean, most ppl excluding junkies and insulin users arent going into a pharm and asking for a very specific needle size and ga lol. I never tried to hide it, and thats partly why i think they tell you they need an rx to fill them. Usually mean insulin as most rx meds meant for injection will come in a carpuject or other prefilled spike.Here in MD ya gotta have a fuckin prescription. Yup a fuckin prescription. Idk why but ya do. So i take a ride up to PA to the nearest pharmacy an buy as many 10packs as they have an come home. Problem solved.
