The administration is now handing out crack pipes, aka "safe smoking kits." Well, not just crack pipes. The other stuff on the list seems reasonable enough. Limiting infections is a good thing. But I'm not sure handing out crack pipes and syringes will do that. Won't those pipes and syringes become just as infected as the ones that are already out on the street?

WASHINGTON (WTAJ) — To limit infections among drug users, the Biden administration is creating a $30 million grant program for non-profits to purchase ‘harm reduction materials’ including crack pipes and smoking kits.

One of the aspects of the program will provide funds to local governments and non-profits to distribute clean pipes and smoking kits to help make drug use safer for addicts. The kits are just one aspect of a list of items that the funding can be used for under the FY 2022 Harm Reduction Program Grant (Harm Reduction).

While the kits reportedly aim to reduce the risk of infections for people who smoke these substances with glass pipes, the Harm Reduction funding can also help with the following:

• Infectious diseases testing kits (HIV, HBV, HCV, etc.);
• Medication lock boxes;
• FDA-approved overdose reversal medication(as well as higher dosages now approved by FDA);
• Safe sex kits, including PrEP resources and condoms;
• Safe smoking kits/supplies;
• Screening for infectious diseases (HIV, sexually transmitted infections, viral hepatitis);
• Sharps disposal and medication disposal kits;
• Substance test kits, including test strips for fentanyl and other synthetic drugs;
• Syringes to prevent and control the spread of infectious diseases;
• Vaccination services (hepatitis A, hepatitis B vaccination); and
• Wound care management supplies.

In addition, funding can also help with key personnel, education, and require things such as assembling a harm reduction advisory council that meets regularly to guide program activities and project implementation.

Selling or distributing drug paraphernalia is against federal law, unless authorized by the government. Funding for the program comes from Democrat’s American Rescue Plan.

Michael Barry is that you?

Do you mean Marion? And what about that Ford fella north of the border whose brother is oppressing all of those truckers?

Michael Berry is a conservative radio asshole that I heard blowing this out of proportion last night.  I listen to right wing radio for my own opposition research.  Basically, the point is how dare they that to help people that have drug problems, especially crack.  It's just something very weak to get outraged over.  Trying to help people, oh the humanity.

I don’t think posting about the grant in this thread, and questioning how well that pipe/syringe aspect of it will work, is tantamount to being a conservative radio asshole blowing it out of proportion. But then again, I posted it here so I guess that’s the expected response. For reference’s sake, next time, just go with like Tucker Carlson or someone else people actually know rather some obscure radio guy that you listen to for your ”opposition research.”

static didnt say anything about it being posted here. only that they heard about it on the radio show.

fair enough.

I want to point out something. you assume the safe smoking pipes were about crack. you can slso smoke heroin or meth as well as powder cocaine.

personally from my experience, I cant see how distribution  of smoking mechanisms would help from a health stand point. but without knowing the reasoning behind it, I'll  reserve any judgement for or against.

My point is that it is a talking point straight from a conservative radio host. Last night he literally said the Biden administration and democrats are giving away crack pipes, and here you are repeating it almost verbatim. Latching onto the safe smoking kit only serves to completely discredit and illegitimize what looks to be a program that is actually about helping people with severe drug problems.  And based on the program it doesn't look like it is all about giving away crack pipes.

No shit. I posted an article that lists the other things the grant offers. And I commented “ The other stuff on the list seems reasonable enough.” But you’re too focused on the fact that the conservative radio host that you listen to for “opposition research” said the same thing in regards to crack pipes. I guessing he just talked about the crack pipes and made no mention anything else in the grant though. 

And you say “ Latching onto the safe smoking kit only serves to completely discredit and illegitimize what looks to be a program that is actually about helping people with severe drug problems.” 

By saying that, you’re admitting the  smoking kits “discredits and illegitimizes” an otherwise pretty good program. The smoking kit aspect is not gonna help people with severe drug issues. It just gives them new paraphernalia that will end up getting infected anyway.

From Letter From An American

"Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) is also flailing. Sunday, on Face the Nation, he said: “This commission is a partisan scam. They're going after—they're—the purpose of that commission is to try to embarrass and smear and harass as many Republicans as they can get their hands on.”

Yesterday, he released a video saying “Biden is sending free meth & crack pipes to minority communities in the name of ‘racial equity’.... There is no end in sight for this lunacy.“

This is a wild lie made up and spread by right-wing publications, referring to a drug harm reduction program inviting applications for grants in a 75-page call for proposals. Part of that harm reduction includes infectious disease testing kits, medication lock boxes, safe sex kits, vaccinations, and so on, including safe smoking kits, which do not include free meth or crack pipes but do include rubber mouthpieces for pipes to prevent burns, and disinfectant wipes.

Drug harm reduction programs have been around in the U.S. since the 1980s, when the HIV epidemic made it clear that addressing drug addiction could stop that era’s epidemic.

Exaggeration and demonization of their opponents has been part of politics for years, as Republicans tried to fire up their base by describing their opponents as socialists, lazy “takers,” baby-killers, and so on. Now, though, these over-the-top attacks on the committee and on the Democratic administration seem to be part of a new political project."


hmm almost like a bait and switch tactic.  Don't look at the right hand folks, keep your eye on the Left.
