In fact, the study showed a substantial reduction in binge drug use, suggesting Insite is not leading to more frequent drug use. However, researchers recommended cutting down wait times to access Insite and urged extending operating hours to further reduce syringe sharing in shooting galleries. - --- MAP posted-by: Beth Wehrman
