The Federal Drug Paraphernalia Give-Away Program

 I try to keep up with current affairs, and yesterday I felt like I was in the Twilight Zone when I read the announcement about the Federal government giving out crack pipes.  

How crazy is this;

"The Health and Human Services (HHS) Department is rolling out a $30 million grant program that will fund the distribution of items, like crack pipes, for smoking illicit substances, according to a new report"  (Fox News)

And a quote from the progressives;

"The Biden administration will provide grant funding to pay for the distribution of safe smoking kits as part of efforts to reduce harm from substance abuse over the next three years." 

and continues,

"The purpose of the program is to support community-based overdose prevention programs, syringe services programs, and other harm reduction services, the document said." (Newsweek)

This is insane; a program to prevent harmful drug abuse promotes drug use, and it's endorsed by the highest federal department for health in the United States. 

When is this madness going to stop?
