That is just a piece of the pie. America is the largest consumer of illegal drugs in the world. But to say there is no slowing it down is just ridiculous.  You just dont like the answers and agendas to be able slow it down. It will always be a issue tho.  Esp with Big Pharma. And now with the Jabs you love they are even more powerful.  

 

This is your Democrat run shitholes morons..great Job voting for Liberal agendas your whole life. 👏 👍 Drug addicts and Criminals love Democrat voters like you two Shitlibs. Border Walls are racist 🤣. No stopping the flow because we cant use them 😭 Trump is racist 😂  racist Horse whippings, kids in cages, AOC crying at the border...But just let them in dems say! Just give up America. Thats you idiots answers.  😂

 

 

Cause only Democrats use opioids you moron. Pointing fingers as usual.

You do understand that there’s no pipes? 

:news:

Sounds to me the admin is backpedaling.

https://www.foxnews.com/media/critics-mock-fact-checking-site-rating-reporting-biden-crack-pipe-funding-mostly-false

In a Tuesday piece claiming news reports "grossly misrepresented" details about the substance abuse harm reduction program, Snopes stuck with its "mostly false" rating by arguing it was inaccurate to say that the distribution of the "smoking kits" was intended to "advance racial equity," but admitted that the pipes would be distributed with race as "a secondary consideration."

Sounds like another fable created by the far right.

Nope.   They did it in Maryland as well until the black community got pissed.

Face it dude they were going to do it and didn't like the backlash on social media so they pulled them.  They still include free syringes....why is it hard to believe the original plan was to include the glass pipes?

AA Power is a harm reduction group. You big dummy. It has nothing to do with the Biden administration. There’s harm reduction in every community. :lol:

:lmao:

On Feb. 7, the Washington Free Beacon published a story with the provocative title “Biden Admin To Fund Crack Pipe Distribution To Advance ‘Racial Equity.’” The nub of it was this:

 
[A] $30 million grant program… will provide funds to nonprofits and local governments to help make drug use safer for addicts. Included in the grant, which is overseen by the Department of Health and Human Services, are funds for “smoking kits/supplies.” A spokesman for the agency told the Washington Free Beacon that these kits will provide pipes for users to smoke crack cocaine, crystal methamphetamine, and “any illicit substance.” 
 
- WASHINGTON FREE BEACON

The story also noted that the programme would prioritize “underserved communities,” as defined in a Biden executive order from last January — hence the equity angle. 

This was not a particularly implausible story. “Safe smoking kit” is a term of art in harm reduction. These kits include clean glass pipes used for smoking crack and meth, as well as other paraphernalia such as mouth guards and filters. An April 2021 story from Annapolis, Maryland, for instance, refers to a city health department programme to distribute “clean crack pipes” to addicts, which was abandoned in the face of backlash from the city’s black community. The same article noted that other Maryland needle exchanges offered “safe smoking kits” featuring glass pipes.

Non profits like AA Power have nothing to do with the Biden administration. They receive funding from the government. But their strategies don’t represent administration protocol. I personally see no difference between handing out syringes or crack pipes. It’s all considered harm reduction. I love the republican’s idea. Reschedule fentanyl, a crucial drug used in surgery to a schedule 1. How fucking dumb is that?   :lol:

Just legalize all drugs. I mean it’s legal to kill your self with an overdose of vodka why not opioids?

Only option now might be to give it away to whomever wants it.  Better controlled and safer.   Remove the money from the black market you will reduce much of the violence that surrounds it.

I think that is an approach to explore. It’s working well in Portugal.

Come to think of it, there's very good reason why 100 republicans want to reschedule Fentanyl. It's off patent and the drug companies are losing money. I'm guessing that pharmaco has an alternative waiting in the wings. Get fentanyl out of the way and WALA!!!  The profits will start to roll in. So will the political contributions.
