Just when you think the Biden regime can't become a bigger clown show, they go and spend $30 million dollars to provide clean crack pipes for drug addicts.
...seriously. A new Biden grant program will fund "smoking kits/supplies" in order to advance "racial equality" [whatever that means]. These kits will include pipes so addicts can smoke crack, crystal meth, or "any illicit substance."

Now to be fair, the New York Times and the "White House" are playing damage control now stating "Crack Pipes" are NOT going to be given away. The New York Times said Republican lawmakers and conservative news outlets have accused the Biden administration of planning to give out pipes for smoking crack cocaine.
Their claims refer to a provision in an overdose prevention program announced in December. The program provides funding for “safe smoking kits,” but it makes no specific mention of glass pipes. In response to the outcry, Biden administration officials denied offering funding for such pipes.

Under the guidelines, grant recipients are required to create harm reduction action plans, distribute overdose medication, help curb the spread of infectious diseases and “purchase equipment and supplies to enhance harm reduction efforts.”
Safe smoking kits are listed as just one of the allowable purchases. The grants also provide funding for disease and drug testing kits, wound care supplies, condoms, syringes and vaccines. In a fact sheet about the program, the Department of Health and Human Services said it did not expect grant recipients to purchase all of the listed supplies.
The grant guidelines do not specify what the smoking kits should include. According to Harm Reduction International, a London-based nongovernmental organization, such kits can contain rubber mouthpieces, brass screens, lip balm, disinfectant wipes and glass stems — the “crack pipes” in question. The contents can vary based on the organization distributing the kit as well as state and local laws on the distribution of drug paraphernalia.
Moreover, the smoking kits are not specific to crack cocaine and can also be given to users of methamphetamine and opioids.
How has the administration responded?
Xavier Becerra, the secretary of health and human services, and Dr. Rahul Gupta, the director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy, said in a joint statement on that their agencies were “focused on using our resources smartly to reduce harm and save lives.”
They added that “no federal funding will be used directly or through subsequent reimbursement of grantees to...
