I wonder if it'd work if you limited the amount of needles that can be taken away each time you show up (ie: 2 needles per day). However, if you inject at the site (unlimited), it doesn't decrease the amount you can take away.
It'll theoretically reduce the needles going off site, encourage staying on site to inject, and the amount of needles taken off site to be merely flipped for money is reduced.
But it's possible it causes all sorts of other unintended consequences too.
