Needle Exchange Prohibited. State v. Atlantic City 379 NJ Super. 515 (App. Div. 2005)


The Atlantic City ordinance establishing a needle exchange program, under which municipal officials are authorized to distribute sterile hypodermic syringes to drug addicts for use in injecting drugs, conflicts with and therefore is pre-empted by the provisions of the Code of Criminal Justice that prohibit persons from using or assisting others in using controlled dangerous substances.
