No, the federal government isn't spending $30 million on 'crack pipes'

[P.O.E.]

My first guess is 29.9 million to be spent on the office workers for this project (less, of course, the kickbacks and padding), and maybe 0.1 million for the actual crack pipes.

It’s disappointing that the Washington Compost can’t understand this “crack pipe” meme is NO DIFFERENT than their “injecting bleach to cure Covid” or “taking horse paste and dewormer medicine for Covid.” That THAT’s assuming there really aren’t some government-approved crack pipe substitutes in those “kits.”

Let’s settle it and SEE these “harm reduction tools” we are funding.

The Canadian version of “Safer Smoking Kits” definitely include crack/meth pipes:

And the Baltimore kits apparently did too: https://foxbaltimore.com/news/local/crack-pipes-is-where-we-draw-the-line-safe-smoking-kits-draw-backlash-in-aaco

First I’ve seen of it, thank you. One could put just about anything, including crack, into the supplied “meth pipe”. Surprised the media isn’t pointing out it’s only for meth as their defense of the administration.

If the government spends as little as $1 on crack pipes, that’s too much.

If the Washington COMPOST says the Government isn't doing something, that means the Government is doing exactly what they're denying.

Why the “lip balm” so prominently mentioned so often?

Somebody, who knows somebody that got the lip balm contract for $20 for a tube of generic chapstick.
