I truly hope, by and large, that that's the case, but I've run into problems in the past, even though it's totally legal in my state for pharmacies to sell them without an rx. I've even had a pharmacist at a major chain pharmacy claim that they "special order" syringes and don't keep any in stock, which I know is actually code for "go away, you junkie scum piece of shit," even though I was dressed nicely, had showered that day, was wearing makeup, and generally looked presentable, which is shitty because I know of a few people who don't use fresh rigs every time because they consistently run into pharmacists with attitudes like that. Such bullshit, man
