speaking of hypes

last weekend my bfc partner in crime and I were finally and emphatically told to stop going through and consolidating the needle exchange sharps, as it represents not only a legal liability but also sets a bad example for other members of the collective. It's hard to explain the appeal that "binning" had for us; junkies can't just throw out syringes neatly bound with rubber bands like we want them; they hafta throw all sorts of non-biohazard non-sharps shit out mixed in with the needles. It costs big bucks to get the biohaz trash carted off; those ingrates cost us $$$! But more than the high of saving scarce clinic resources, there was the thrill of doing something mildly dangerous. Like handling poisonous snakes.
