Is this what government is for?
I am involved with several homeless charitable organizations and this has been a huge debate over the past decade. It started as giving homeless drug addicts Narcan for free to prevent OD deaths. That was controversial because it was argued that it encouraged drug use. That expanded into giving the homeless drug addicts free needles to prevent the spread of AIDS and other diseases that spread through dirty needles. Another hugely controversial program. But both at least arguably had a public health component because it was argued that it prevented having to pay the healthcare cost for the homeless through prevention. But mission creep has now completely unmoored the program from its purpose and the purpose has become to hand out free drug paraphernalia for that purpose alone. Hence, handing out meth pipes. There is no conceivable public health purpose for it. But the NGO industry that was built on handing out Narcan and needles needs to justify itself and expand so now we get free pipes.
Canada has vending machines filled with whatever drug , needle etc you want ,LOL
Needles too:
“San Francisco distributes approximately 400,000 to 4.5 million clean syringes annually through its Department of Public Health and partner organizations, such as the San Francisco AIDS Foundation and Glide Memorial Church.”
A lot of those needles end up in the ocean - and wash up on beaches. I was walking my dogs along a beach in San Francisco after a storm - a city worker told me not to let my dogs root around in the debris b/c it was full of needles - he was using a magnet to try to gather needles that had washed up and showed me a large pile he had collected just that morning.
Do they have any leftover “safe smoking kits” from the Biden era? Most likely yes, and of course are making more.
