    Question Ok, so is there a better option?

    Well, i know the rules say nobody can ask about sources, and I am not asking about anything illegal (controlled substances or similar).

    Here is my deal. When I did my first cycle, I had a hard time getting needles. I would go to Walmart or CVS or another drug store, and sometimes they would hand them over without hesitation, but most of the time they gave me a bunch of crap. My state law says they HAVE TO give them to me, because if i were using them for drugs, they are supposed to give me as many clean needles as i want, to help prevent the spread of disease, or possible infections, etc. Even when i would tell them the exact law, and tell them I knew they had a black book behind the counter that said the same thing, and offered to point it out to them, they would just flat out refuse.

    So this time around I decided I didn't want all the hassle. I now live in a smaller town, and I just go down to Tractor Supply. Its fast, easy, cheap, etc.
    Although I have no complaints with the needles, I am hesitant to try new places to inject, like traps, biceps, etc. So far I regularly rotate between triceps, chest, shoulders, quads, and glutes. Although none of these places are really painful, they are just uncomfortable enough to discourage me from trying more sensitive areas.

    So, my buddy tells me that the needles I get a Vet grade, which is ok, but he says they come in vet grade, which is the dullest, then dental grade, then medical grade, which is the sharpest. I also can't get anything smaller than 22g at tractor supply, and he says if I get medical stuff I can easily get 23g. He tells me the ease of use and pain difference between a veterinary 22g and a medical 23g is unbelievable.

    My problem is that the only way I know to get the stuff is to order it online. But I am never very comfortable ordering online. I don't even use amazon or ebay. If I can't take it home with me, I don't want to spend my money on it.

    I guess what i am asking for is just general input on the situation, and any ideas (whatever they may be, not asking for anything specific)

    I hope this post is ok, and I didn't break any forum rules. Thanks again.
