For 24 hrs these needles will lie there. Dangerous to pick up. I hope a child or dog doesn't accidentally step in. SF gives out 14,500 needles a day. 62% are returned. https://t.co/rppcoNtUza

Same situation in Seattle. We moved from a policy of "needle exchange" to "needle dispensary." Then, suddenly, the streets and parks were littered with needles.

What’s the reason not to exchange needles? Was there any data provided by the non-profit to the city? I couldn’t find it for San Francisco

They say needle exchanges are a "barrier to access," so they have moved to needle distribution. It's simply the next step on the path of harm reduction.
