Buying syringes online in the UK

[attacK]

Swim was wondering if the purchasing of needles online was legal in the uk? Also if you can get in trouble with the police for possesion of say 100 syringes. Thanks, AttacK.

No, its not illegal SWIM bought a box of 100 syringes and needles online a couple of years ago with no problems whatsoever and with next day delivery. Although SWIM can only seem to find about 2 company's online who sell them.

Thanks, there is a mobile service, but they refused to give swim needles due to swims age, and lack of proof. (grrr). However swim saw these on the internet, do you think swim could use these to IM or IV ket? h t tp://www.amazon.co.uk/Caninsulin-U-40-Insulin-Syringes-Syringe/dp/B001A2V4KC/ref=pd_cp_kh_0

If swim is in the UK most Boots chemists have a needle exchange. But 12-24 2ml sets of works and get a disposal bin. When swiy has used them dispose of them in the bin and return them to the chemist. They'll replace them for nothing.
Or swiy could just keep buying them...they're not expensive.

This thread is verging close on source discussion. An auction website sells needles very cheaply though.

My bad paraphernalia discussion isn't allowed. (bit draconian)

[chillinwill]

Paraphernalia source discussion is a violation of the Sources Rule as well. The rules not only applies to drugs, but to paraphernalia and ethnobotanicals.

It's definitely legal, and any popular search engine should be able to provide you with medical supplies companies able to sort you out.

Although it may sound like SWIM is being overly paranoid, but he'd rather not buy syringes from anyone other than dedicated medical suppliers. Although he's sure that no-one has received tampered with/recycled syringes, he still think that the piece of mind of buying from the same places as private clinics is worthwhile.

SWIM feels for SWIY about going online for things of this nature. If you live in a small town or even a large town but with an inadequate number of chemists, it can be too easy to run into someone you know and feel a bit horrible.

Oh fair enough. May want to make that a bit clearer in the rules
