I;ve never been to one because they have odd hours and inconvenient locations (the ghetto or the closest areas to it).
Now when you go to an exchange how many needles will they give you if you don't bring any? Is there generally a limit? What about if ou are bringing needles to exchange, if you bring 100 will thye give you 100? In general what types of needles do they give out and how are they?
Back when I used heroin I got my needles through my addict friend who went to an exchange and gave me needles when he would middleman dope for me. They were individually sealed and were a wider gauge than the 31G insulin syringe 10 packs I get for $3.50 at the pharmacy.
Now I know in some states it's only legal to posses up to 10 needles at a time, what happens if you go to an exchange with more than 10? That seems like a big risk. Also what is the deal with cards and being in a program, does that allow you to legally posess more?
I know the also give out other stuff like sterile water, tourniquets, mixing containers, cotton, sometimes condoms. Do they supply anything else? i wish they gave at micron filters, that would be sweet (someone posted that their exchange did, I doubt any in the US do). %)
I ask this because the only time I see it worth going to the exchange would be to drop off like 50 needles and get 50 more. I heard a guy in rehab telling me he worked at an exchange where they gave a guy boxes of 100 needles a day, I don't know if that's true or what the story was.
I'm thinking about going to one but I don't want to carry an illegal number of needles with me, I do want the sterile water and the other free stuff would be nice.
So what are your exchange experiences?
