A study from CU School of Medicine found that Pueblo’s 2024 needle exchange ban, which lasted 19 days, led to 1,150 fewer visits to one syringe service program and 900 fewer naloxone kits distributed (findings that came alongside more syringes distributed and fewer discarded syringes). Some council members questioned the reported drop in discarded syringes during an April 21 meeting (as part of a broader review of the ban’s impact).
