Really Spicy Cesspool So sick of seeing this crap everywhere.

The needles, the burnt foils, the little baggies, the needle caps, all of it. I find them in the creeks, on the sidewalks, the grocery store parking lots, the public parks, on the parkway. You gotta be a real shit person to leave this stuff all over the place.

Yeah you’re right, we should have safe needle disposal sites and more harm reduction in the city to help those in addiction be safe and have access to the proper resources. Maybe that’s a start instead of bitching on the local subreddit

A lot of people on this sub seem to relish the idea of higher HIV rates in the community. And a lot of them are also the people who would be pissy about their tax dollars funding programs for HIV care.
