Indiana Governor Mike Pence has called for action regarding 80 new HIV cases in the state. Most of the cases are found in the south east region, Scott County, and are linked to improper needle usage.
I remember when people were getting pissy about the Health Department in NYC handing out flyers regarding heroin usage, ie properly throwing away the needles after use. While I'm not in favor of legalizing every drug, I do agree that there should be a policy in telling the people the risks, benefits, and background of any drug, whether it's skeet, marijuana, or viagra. It's better than some knobhead politician jingoistic rampage demonizing any illicit substance to a point where they become forbidden fruit. Knowing is half the battle, and propaganda does have a limit in its usefulness.
