OTOH, there are many disadvantages to the use of hypodermic syringes (sp?):
#1- There is a larger risk to contract diseases (AIDS, Hepatitis,...) from a
needle than there is from a syringe;
#2- It is possible to vent a room easily, but is is risky to dispose of
abandoned syringes;
#3- IV drugs cause persistent wounds in the place of injection (in extreme
cases, limbs may have to be amputated);
#4- Most IV drugs are synthetic. This isn't a problem "per se", but the
amount of residual chemicals that are poisenous is not neglectable;
#5- You will not become addicted to a drug by inhaling 2nd hand smoke, once
in a while; it is too sparse. It can be irritating, though (my personal
experience tells me it is no more irritating than tobacco).
I'm sure there are other reasons, and I'm also sure there may be other good
reasons to prefer IVD; IMHO, the IV ones are riskier to the non-users,
because of the dangers posed by the leftovers.
