No I think this is perfect as it's own thread, and this is why. It says that it is NOT supported by the government and is therefore run as an "underground, grassroots" operation. People could risk getting in trouble with Johnny Law or other local/state authorities. People wanting to participate in such should be aware of the risk (even if its minimal) before they go walking/driving the streets with used needles in their pockets, ya know?

To the OP - THANK YOU for posting this. I think a lot of people will find this helpful. Although I wish that they would consider opening one/setting one up; in Charlotte, NC. Its a pretty large city and an emerging heroin hub for the east coast.

Thanks again for FYI! :)

CH or anyone, do you know why exactly NC (or other states for that matter) isn't supposed to have "proper, legal" SEP's? Is it just a state thing that each state has to work out or is it something different?

Sorry to bump an old thread, but in the interest of harm reduction and personal safety I feel that I need to mention this.

I just called the Winston-Salem one....The guy was not only rude, but downright nasty. Sounded like a thug IMO, I asked a simple question and he flips out on me.

Not someone I would trust with my life at all.
 
I use NEPA in asheville and have for years. Never be afraid to call. Mr. Harney is amazing. Will provide as little or as much as whatever you may need. Seriously. No personal information is ever asked for. I am posting his name and an alternate telephone number with his permission.
[snip - no phone numbers, especially if they're someone elses - leftwing]

I know Mr. Harney hehe He is very interesting....He told me that the state or city of asheville got wind of what he was doing and stopped it. So now he has 1000s of syringes in his residence. He said if you call him, he will just meet with you in person...He is really cool.

I live in charlotte and there is no SEP here. Eventhough heroin is like the biggest and fastest drug in this area...You can thank Mexico!

Thanks Mexico

I see no one has wrote in this the longest time..I just moved from ny and was seeing how it was down here..with the ex change and all...
 
^First off syringes are OTC and cheap. A few pharmacist at chain stores will be dicks but even at CVS you can get needles. If you can't afford them then I don't know about any exchanges but think the exchanges are illegal because your getting needles with intent to use and thus it counts as paraphanalia. AFAIK anyway.
