New York City's first public health vending machine giving out free crack pipes, condoms and Narcan, an overdose-reversing drug, was already empty less than 24 hours after being unveiled by officials.
But eager city officials determined to keep residents in rich supply of clean drug apparatus were quick to revisit the site on Tuesday afternoon with more.
Elan Quashie, the Opioid Overdose Program Director at Services for the Under Served, said: ‘We’re going to restock every day. Probably multiple times a day.’
He said he was not surprised that the items were taken so quickly, adding: ‘I kind of knew that they would go.’
He restocked five trays of Naloxone and two trays of fentanyl-testing kits - and said he will be returning later to refill the machine with the other products.

Seems like public officials must be smoking crack to come up with this one. Don’t they know the vast majority of people who hear about this are laughing at them. Have they no shame. 😂 🤣 😂

I think it would be better if the machines supplied a large overdose.

Lesson for the NYC learning impaired:
When you subsidize something, you get more of it.
Now, carry on throwing $ into the fire.

If they can have vending machines of drugs can other people have a chain store with the name Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms?

I’m not sure if they even know the definition of ransacked. It is not as if the customers destroyed the machines to get the crack pipes. Everything was free. All they did was deplete the stock.

I like how one resident said they would be better off putting an ambulance on that corner.
