I saw in another thread people discussing buying syringes over the counter and many people were wondering about it. So I figured I would share this with you all.
The laws vary from state to state about buying and possessing syringes. So use this to know yours.

It's unlawful to possess over ten in ny, I honestly can't believe that you can't drop used pins off here, just for the sheer fact of keeping them out of landfills, fucking stupid, and if I'm reading it right they can nail you for trace left in the pin
The only true failure is quitting, any other attempt is practice!

IL is similiar, except the number is over 20 and yes they could in fact charge for residue left in the barrel, however that's usually done with hard drugs such as heroin, not steroids.

In PA, if you put your pins in a sharps container, you will have to keep them forever. You cannot put them in the trash and you cannot give them to a hospital. What you are supposed to do (per the State's website) is to put them in an old coffee can or such, tape them shut, and write on them "do not recycle". Then put them in the trash. The garbage truck will then crush the container when the guy pushes that lever over and the can will bust open, spreading needles everywhere.
Dumb!!!
But at least I can buy as many needles over the Internet as I want and it is legal.
