NYP update
[img]Future machines also may include syringes used to inject heroin and other drugs, said city Health and Mental Hygiene Commissioner Ashwin Vasan at a Monday press conference unveiling the vending device.
The city says the idea is to help keep drug users safer with clean supplies and help curb soaring overdose deaths.[/img]

City officials’ new drug-themed vending machine is a huge hit with local addicts — who wasted no time cleaning it out overnight as they stocked up on its free crack pipes, lip balm and Narcan.
“Yes, I love it,” drug user Evelyn Williams told The Post while standing at the “public health” vending machine in Brownsville, Brooklyn, on Tuesday. “They put it in yesterday, and it’s empty already.
By 1 p.m., a drug-prevention-program worker was starting to restock the machine with more drug-test strips, Narcan and condoms — predicting the vending machine could need to be refilled “maybe twice a day, depending on which items go quite quickly.’’
“We have a lot of addicts and heroin users over here,” Williams said. “They should re-stock it immediately!”
Self-described crack smoker Minoshi Calpe, 56, had walked away with the second-to-last product in the vending machine — a fentanyl test strip — around 11 a.m. while sniffing that the glass used for the free pipes might not be up to her standards.
“I like the Pyrex because it’s a little thicker,’’ she said, also lamenting that “you can’t even sell that [vending stuff] because the programs give you all that stuff” already for free.

The machines cost $11,000 each before being stocked. The drug paraphernalia and other items in them are free, with patrons needing only to punch in a zip code to get what they want.

They will mark this as a massive success.

The first half of that article reads like it's from the Bee. Sadly, it's real.

By this logic they should set up free alcohol vending machines to curb soaring alcoholism rates.

They think encouraging more drug use will curb overdose deaths?
They think hepatitis and infective endocarditis prevention should be the focus here?

A politician and his Narcan vendor buddy are fleecing taxpayers.

Democrats believe in Darwin’s survival of the fittest, assisted suicide, etc. Until it comes to junkies and then we can’t let any of them die. Mind boggling. Just give them all the fentanyl see how that works out.

I swore this was the Bee. The whole article reads like satire.

The Gov could probably lace that stuff with some kind of poison and make a pretty good impact in the homeless/drug addict/petty crime situation.

The Bee is fricked. They can't even top real articles anymore.

Need to try a real life Hamsterdam from the Wire. Let them do their drug thing in an area and bring the wrath of it comes outside of that area.
