I think alot of you guys are stressing too hard when you try to buy. IT IS LEGAL TO BUY NEEDLES IN MOST PLACES. So stop acting like you're doing something wrong. Forget about what you intend to do with the needles. The act of buying needles is not wrong. I will now provide a list of tips and places to go and not go.
First of all, I think it makes a difference how you appear. Look well groomed, like someone who isn't a junky or some other form of drug addict.
When you go in, act like you've done this a million times. They're going to ask you for your ID and you're going to have to sign something. It doesn't fucking matter. The DEA isn't going to come to your door asking what you've been doing with the 10 packs of syringes you've been buying.
Now, here are places NOT to go because they're nosey and ask a lot of of questions: Walgreens is the absolute worst place you could go, they'll give you shit for bringing in a legit script even for cough syrup with codeine. Eckerd's likes to play 21 questions and often won't sell unless you're from the immediate area. Rite-Aid plays 21 questions. And Giant is usually a bitch. I have bought from Eckerd's, Rite-Aid and Giant, however.
CVS is by far the easiest. Safeway is easy.
The other thing is if you're in an area known for heroin, it's much more difficult to get needles. The pharm workers act like bitches and give you severe attitudes. You'll have much better luck in the suburbs where they won't be expecting anyone to use heroin.
So, when you walk up to the counter, you know they're going to ask for an ID. When you approach, be pulling out your wallet and ID as you ask for your 29 gauge BD insulin needles. I prefer the 1/2 cc's, but whatever.
I don't agree with acting stupid or pretending to buy for someone else. If you act confident, you'll do better. Half the time they will not ask ANY questions other than what type of insulin you use. Occassionally they don't even ask at all. But sometimes at the same place they will. They will sometimes need to know what brand of insulin you use. So you have diabetes and you use Novolin, 27 units in the morning, sometimes 12 at night when needed.
If they ask any more questions you simply respond "Did the rules change since last month that you need to know my personal medical history?" Or if the question is about why you're not insured or on the system, simply say "it's a long story that I'd rather not try to explain".
The last time I bought needles, the guy jokingly asked "what do you need these for, heroin?". It was funny so I said "well, I keep asking my doctor for a prescription for that, but he keeps giving me insulin instead". (yes, it was really hard not to burst out laughing. he even asked if you ever get used to poking yourself. i said "no").
Make small chat. There's no reason to be nervous.
The next step is signing some needle registry. If you really feel that uncomfortable, fake an address similar to yours or write really sloppy so it's illegible.
Pay and leave.
It's simple.
And like Phreex said, don't freak out if they don't sell to you for whatever reason. Simply go to the next pharmacy.
