The Biden Administration is funding crack pipes through the Department of Health and Human Services, claiming it's needed for racial equity.
As reported by Just the News, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration is providing nearly $30 million for a grant program that will include funding for the purchase and distribution of crack pipes to drug addicts in underserved communities to advance racial equity.
The money will be allocated over the next three years for the Harm Reduction Program Grant, designed to “support community-based overdose prevention programs, syringe service programs, and other harm reduction services.”
Among “required activities” listed in the program description, the funds will be used to “purchase equipment and supplies to enhance harm reduction efforts,” including:
- Safe sex kits, including PrEP sources and condoms
- Safe smoking kits/supplies
- Syringes to prevent and control the spread of infectious diseases
An HHS spokesman told the Washington Free Beacon that the smoking kits "will provide pipes for users to smoke crack cocaine, crystal methamphetamine, and 'any illicit substance,'"
