• The $30 million grant program will distribute funds to nonprofits and local governments to make drug use safer and 'advance racial equity'
• Included in the grant is money to purchase 'safe smoking kits/supplies'
• A spokesperson for HHS said included in these kits could be pipes for users to smoke substances like crack cocaine and crystal methamphetamine
• HHS said that the kits will serve to limit the risk of infection - typically users smoke out of glass pipes which can lead to cuts and sores that become infected
• Handing out pipes is also intended to prompt users to smoke rather than inject themselves with some substances, like meth, as injection is far riskier
• It is against the law to sell or distribute drug paraphernalia - including such pipes - unless authorized by state, local or federal law

This will surely help people find equity in their lived experiences and bring about social justice

Perfect time to start smoking crack I suppose

Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

They should include a gun in the kit.

Handing out pipes to promote smoking instead of shooting.. yeah that’s not gonna work.

Harm reduction works

Harm prevention works

Fuck um

 

[nostradumbass]

Their big plan to improve black people's lives is to call them crackheads and pass out crack pipes?



Hunter came up with this idea, didn't he?

The Bidens profiting off their positions of power again...

For the moment it still appears you need to provide your own crack.

When did Hunter Biden become the head of HHS?

This apparently works as harm reduction in reducing negative health outcomes

I started working downtown Vancouver in fall 2017, it doesn’t even seem like the same place now, with our easy stance on drugs/safe injection sites. Bums on every street, sprawled out on sidewalks. I can only imagine what major US cities will be like.

Crack is still a thing?
