"I commend the sponsors for putting forward legislation that seeks to reduce injection-related diseases. Stopping the spread of injection-related diseases in New Jersey is a primary public health concern that requires a comprehensive approach."
--Chris Christie after signing over-the-counter needle exchange legislation.

Kudos and it's about time!

Great news! (0.00 / 0)
But it's not needle exchange legislation, as there is no needle exchange involved. This law permits pharmacies to sell needles and syringes without a prescription.  

"The work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives, and the dream shall never die." - Sen. Ted Kennedy

Incentive (0.00 / 0)
The goal is for the needles to be returned safely to the pharmacy for disposal.  Proposals to encourage this behavior might include a discount on new ones based on how many old ones returned.
