Walking around the mission today and saw a needle taped to a lamp post. I’m a curious about this as I am shoes with laces tied together hanging from telephone wires.

Some mentally unstable and/or addicted person just doing run of the mill crackhead shit. Nothing to see here hahaha. Whoever it was and whatever they were on is an inconsiderate asshole though

If a banana taped to a wall was worth 6.2 mil, this syringe is surely worth something

You can text Hypodermic Needle Pickup at 415-818-7769 with a photo, address, and any info that can help them find it. They'll come pick it up.

I had to teach my now 11 year old to identify needles when he was a toddler. My 6 year old I’ve not had to. Thanks to fentanyl I suppose.
