Is Brandon living in the 80s? Its not like fentanyl and heroin are the drugs killing everyone at the moment, but yeah lets promote crack usage (that is dwindling) on top of it.

I still don’t understand the crack pipe thing. At least sharing needles has some health concerns and public safety issues with improper disposal

The program targets all drug use. Conservatives honed in on the provision that allows grantees to purchase “safe smoking kits” and turned into a crack pipe debate.

We live in the dumbest timeline.

What is a “safe smoking kit” and why is the government trying to pay for them?

Biden went from pushing the 94 Crime Bill to giving out crack pipes. Dude has done more damage to blacks than any politician over the past 30 years.

The initiative from HHS plans to provide naloxone, fentanyl test strips, and clean syringes, as well as go after violent criminals who are trafficking illicit drugs like fentanyl across U.S. borders and into local communities, Becerra and Gupta said.

The fact that you think the people opposing this are 'dumb' says everything about you

Why should taxpayers be paying for any of that? What is a "safe smoking kit" that makes it ANY safer to use, and won't those pipes just be used over and over like the ones already used?

It makes zero sense for our government to fund this, when there's a million other things they could be doing with our tax dollars that better serves us. If you support this without question, congratulations you're one of the brainwashed idiots that'll support anything the left trots out there like a good little lap dog.

White liberals always wanna see the black folks held down, either placed in government housing, relying on govt for food, or addicted to drugs. White liberals also wanna defund the police that protects blacks.

Exactly.

And this has been the typical government half truth.

Biden/USA is not buying crack pipes.

Biden/USA is giving $$$ to local government and NGOs that give them out.

The $$$ is specifically for "clean kits" and similar "safe use" items.

So taxpayers are supposed to be paying for junkies to have a clean way to smoke their crack, shoot their heroin and then also pay for a way for them to treat themselves if they overdose?

Seems reasonable.

I don’t think people opposed to it are dumb. I think people that turned it into a debate over crack pipes are dumb.

Do you think the name crack pipe will be changed to not be offensive or show addicts in a bad light?
