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.'

Included in the grant is money to purchase 'safe smoking kits/supplies.' A spokesperson for HHS told the Washington Free Beacon that included in these kits could be pipes for users to smoke substances like crack cocaine and crystal methamphetamine, or 'any illicit substance.'

This is getting too easy to point out flaws in this administration.

Just going to skip the obvious jokes one can make and get to a serious question: “Not a specialist on substance abuse but isn’t something like this going to make it easier for people to either get addicted to drugs or remain addicted to dangerous drugs”. Wouldn’t that be a wash on any dubious positive effects the programs would have?

Well since I made an attempt at being serious I have another question:

Will Hunter manage the program?
