All places, should have this

I like seeing these types of things in clubs and pubs etc. Would be interested to know the statistics on how often these have helped someone out of a bad situation.

I love this so much. Grace is such a clever girl, I didn't ever think of actually making something, just felt badly when you know ur getting judged coz you aren't wearing a giant neon sign listing all your conditions

This is genius

That’s great, the last thing you need in a period emergency is trying to find change for a vending machine.

I’ve seen this in loads of places!

I like that idea except in Australia we would need 2 pedals. By law it is mandatory for all new toilets to have a dual flush system. One for half flush and one for full flush.

Only 30spf, definitely not in an Australian zoo lol.

Thank you for taking care of your customers.

In most public places I have ever been, this would either be broken, burned by ciggarettes or full of human waste. People are disgusting

Oh... you learn something new everyday. Today, I'm learning about finding veins

Are you kidding? I can even see the veins in the picture

These have been used in the uk for ages, unfortunately not being able to find a vein is not a good thing for someone desperate to inject and has lead to many deaths

Don't do drugs kids. It's bad

Hate these. I get a migraine from these and the addicts have learned to mark their veins outside.

Cool so instead of doing it in a relatively safe place they will be forced to do it on the street or somewhere unsanitary where they may suffer from infections. We need harm reduction in place for people suffering from addiction, not this "keep out of my bathroom" mentality.

Hey, instead of trying to help people with addiction, let's find an expensive new way to tell them to screw off! YAYYY 🖕

But I see veins in the picture. It's not just me, is it?

Skilled people feel for the veins though, my sister is a pediatric nurse and mostly feels for veins instead of looking for them...

Pushing them closer to the abyss is not helping them. I might make reality more palatable for you, it just makes life even harder for them.

This must be the most pointless thing EVER. Thinking lights from mobile phones, addicts in the back of the alley, etc. I am 100 percent sure that those lights didn't stopped anyone from using. Ridiculous.

This is illegal where I live. Doesn't stop desperate people from using in the bathrooms, just makes it more dangerous.

Sucks if you have a medical issue requiring injections though.

I mean...they can probably still feel their veins out if they’re hydrated enough.

An addict is an addict. Whether level doesn't matter: a alcoholic(legal) and the rest which is not. Please don't judge or make that face when you find out someone you love is having trouble getting help. They only need a hug to start.

I don’t understand this. I’ve never been a drug user, but wouldn’t one of 2 things happen 1. The addict would just go somewhere else where they can see their veins (assuming they can’t just palpate them) or 2. They would miss their vein and die. One makes the lights kind unnecessary and 2 makes the situation much worse. 😕

The hometown must be Louisville. I was there recently and almost every public restroom I went into had blue lights and sharps dispensers.

Really sucks for those people who wish to discreetly inject for medical reasons. Big stigma attached even when it's a legitimate non-harmful injection done in the public eye.

Yeah, that'll stop it, sure... No you're just annoying everyone now

That's awesome

We too have these, mainly in high risk areas.

Many Truckstops have this in Western Australia

I've heard of these in my city.

Joke on you I smoke heroin so thanks for the cozy spot for taking hard drugz !

One of our grocery stores did this. They said it seems to have discouraged some junkies to not use their bathroom as a shooting range.

This is the drug addict equivalent to those horrible anti-homeless structures. Like it's nice to pretend there's no problem when you just push the victims out of sight?

This is a completely asinine way of stopping heroin use.

Do that everywhere

Where?

A better idea would be to provide heroin so people would not have to hide. We don't know the reason behind any humans use of drugs. Please be kind

TIL!

Really? Is this enough to make them switch to something better?
