One thing I've noticed recently is that alot of toilets in my area have some form of ultraviolet lighting. A m8 says this is to deter drug addicts but I don't see how it works.
Anyone got any ideas?
 
It makes your veins harder to see.
Are you in Australia? I noticed it alot there, McDonalds didn't though, hence the name 'Smackdonalds'
 
heh me and my friends call it "Smackdonalds" here too, but we never go to the bathrooms or shoot smack, so I don't know why we do it.
 
nah m8, me live in UK.

its the same in sweden - on Burger King anyways. like said before its because you cant se your veins in that light.

"we had two bags of grass, 75 pellets of mescaline.
2 sheets of high powered blotter acid.
a salt shaker half full of cokaine.
a whole galaxy of multicolored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers.
also a quarter of rum, a quarter of tequila, a case of beer and a pint of raw ether"
 
It has nothing to do with making your viens harder to see - is the room lit? Can you see where you're pissing? Then you can see your veins.. besides, most junkies that fix in public restrooms don't need much light to see where to shoot - I can hit myself with my eyes closed...
If anything, it has something to do with bacteria or something... but no, I am fairly certin that special lighting is not being installed to so can't see your veins...
Most bathrooms have shit light so you can't tell how filthy it is anyway..
[EDIT - If you're refering to the little boxes with a purple-ish light, it's actually a sanitary bug-zapper - same idea, the bug is attracted to the light then stunned by the charged foil around the light]

He is referring to actual full-lit toilets with the purple light - no *normal* lighting.
It's here (AU) in many public toilets, particularly ones in busy areas such as train stations, etc. I've *heard* that it does make it harder to see your vein, I could not tell you, since I have not tried.
 
I have not seen anything like this in the US, then again, I have not seen a dingo steal a baby, a bar that only sells Fosters, or a digeridoo.. I would say it has something to do with health reasons or something, because you can shoot-up in even horrible light... it just makes no sense - if you want to make a bathroom undesirable for IV drug users, take the doors off the stall or something... I can see my vein just fine and the room is lit by nothing more then my monitor!

Yea, the toliets at Flinders St station...I thought it was pretty cool, it gives a very...alienized feeling...Australia was the only place I seen with toliets like that though...*blue violet light*

open bathroom stalls in restaurants or reasonable facsimile might be frowned upon, even in Australia.
Are these lights in drug prone areas or trendy areas or what? what's the pattern? Do they look like shit or are they nice. If you couldn't see your vein you probably wouldn't see the toilet paper unless it was glow in the dark.
 
My local shopping centre used to have a blue light in the disabled toilet, but they took it away

it was so cool, made your teeth look funny

, that be the first place id go if i was ever stoned at the plaza, but it was stupid, cos the male + female toilets where right next to the disabled one and they had normal lights plus stalls with doors.
The Flinders st toliets have different blue light, its not the happy kind

You get there, then are over come by saddness, no body smiles there, you begin to walk slowly. Thinking about it makes me
frown.gif
Being there for longer than 5 mins would complelty fuck me i thinks
 
perhaps the uv stops your veins buldging then?

oh i dont know

Stupid monkey, you cant use hand cream.
 
Solution is 'glow in the dark' water. I'm sure Pfizer would be chomping at the bit to fill that enormous niche.
