R.I.P. Scout26
President Biden's Health and Human Services department (HHS) is finalizing funding to dole out crack pipes to drug addicts as part of its 'Harm Reduction Plan.' The $30 million grant program, which accepted applications until Monday and will begin doling out money in May, intends to provide funds to nonprofits and local governments to make drug use safer, to advance 'racial equity.'
The crack-cocaine epidemic starting in the 1980s disproportionately ravaged the black community.
Cities like San Francisco and Seattle have experimented with their own crack pipe kit distribution programs. Others have backed away from such plans. Louisville, Ky. allowed convenience stores to sell drug kits, before later banning them from doing so
Democrats sure have low expectations for black people, don't they?
I'm not shocked that they're handing out crack pipes. I am, however, absolutely stunned that they're not actually handing out crack, as well.
I sometimes think that after an initial spike, crack/heroin/fentanyl/whatever use would decline (due to fewer users) if government start distributing high grade drugs free of charge . . .
IIRC this has/is actually been/being proposed in certain left coast cities.
The Biden administration is now claiming that, of course they aren't funding free crack pipes for black people!Yeah right, I saw the grant application. They are just embarrassed they got caught.(They are still funding the free heroin needles).
Republican Reps. Lauren Boebert (CO) and Dan Bishop (N.C.) introduced legislation to ban the government from using federal funds to pay for crack pipes or other drug materials after a recent report revealed that the Biden administration would be giving "smoking kits" that include free crack pipes to drug addicts as part of a $30 million grant program.
Theater by the Republicans.
You mean because the bill won't pass? Sure. If it draws attention to what the party in power is doing wrong, then it's a good thing.
