I respect your expert opinion, just not clear on whether you were trying to be funny. But as long as you truly believe no risk was involved at all. Thank you.

If you want good answers then tell the truth and give a full detail of what is going on. As you don't know how many times we get questions about people who think somehow they were stuck with a needle and so forth.

Son had no risk unless he is shooting up with his dad.

Actually you're right it's my sons dad whom happens to be a heroin addict. So yes of course I'm concerned. So instead of judging and giving what you do or don't believe could you give me some insight

I don't believe your "friend" just had a needle in his pocket and is an IV drug user.

Not sure how it's irrational I felt it was a valid question before you being insulting instead of just answering

And did the friend have a needle in their pocket? A bit of a confusing post which I have to be honest seems a little bit too left field for me.
