Can you show me evidence of needle exchange programs increasing drug use? Genuinely curious. The evidence is clear these programs reduce HIV and Hep C transmission

    I'll have a look tomorrow when I have more time, but I just want to say now that needle swap programs in isolation absolutely do reduce HIV and other blood-borne illnesses. Drug use is a specific metric, but it is correct that needle swap programs have upsides outside of that metric.
