disease demonstration prevention act for santa clara county CA

are you talking about the Disease Prevention Demonstration Project (DPDP)?

If the pharmacy is in a county or city which implements the Disease Prevention Demonstration Project, then the pharmacist may sell up to 10 hypodermic needles and syringes to a person 18 years of age or older. This provision of the law will expire on December 31, 2010.

google is your friend check out this document from the county of santa clara for more details.

thank you so much the last time I got needles the pharmacist sold them to me but he didn't include the demonstration flyer.
I always wondered what the point of the flyer was. Will it keep you from getting charged for needles with out a prescription if you are arrested?
In philly you can get a card or something to keep the cops from taking your needles and not charging you with illegal needles. Is there anything like that in santa clara county?

(also the doc link in my last post seems to have expired or something? here it is again for any other interested parties.)
