The Multnomah County Health Department will begin distributing tin foil and straws this month to fentanyl smokers at sites across Portland, WW has learned. The “smoking supplies,” which also include glass pipes for smoking meth and crack as well as “snorting kits,” are part of a national effort to minimize the health consequences of drug use. Smoking is considered by many health experts a safer way of consuming hard drugs than injection, and government officials are now seeking to encourage users who haven’t already switched to do so—and to make it safer for those who already have.
The Oregon Legislature just passed a bill decriminalizing the distribution of “drug paraphernalia” for harm reduction purposes, although it awaits Gov. Tina Kotek’s signature. There are similar programs in other states, including Washington and California. New York City recently installed a vending machine with smoking kits, including bubble pipes.
Yet the decision to distribute smoking supplies arrives as many officials and Portland residents are exhausted by open drug use on city streets. Fentanyl, which is most commonly smoked, is now the drug of choice, and it’s difficult to walk downtown without passing someone in a stoop with a torch and a piece of tinfoil.

I think this is a plot to turn everyone in society into a drug addict. But, I suppose that’s just a crazy conspiracy theory. Maybe I should put on my tinfoil hat. Does anyone know where I can find some tinfoil?
Fugget it, Jake, it’s Portland.
Just where will they get tin foil?

Check with the Multnomah County Health Department. They should be able to help you out.
Enabling.
How about round up the drug pushers (including China and Mexico) then sweep the streets of drug users.
Once again, I’m gonna miss out. I don’t get Multnonahs tin foil or straws and I didn’t get Bidens free crack pipe giveaway(and I really need a new one). They really have it in for me.
Great. Just what we need. More “opioid” deaths. Just in time so a city or state can sue Walmart for prescription pain med “abuse”. We are so doomed.
This how to recruit the people needed to keep Portland weird.
