Ever hear of "Needle Park"...???
No!
Where is it - in Switzerland?
ta DAAAAAAH!
I'll take that as a yes.
I know that The Netherlands has very loose rules in certain districts
on things like recreational drugs, but I don't know about Switzerland.
The government sponsors free needle exchanges and disposal.
That's just pragmatism.
Works like this:
Anybody dumb enough to inject themselves with drugs of unknown origin isn't
likely to be very fussy about the sterilization of their needles. So rather
than have to deal with the complications of needle-borne diseases, they give
out clean needles in trade for dirty ones.
Does that really reduce the public burden of illegal drug abuse? I don't know.
How many drug addicts does Switzerland have, anyway?
