Applicants for the grants are prioritized if they treat a majority of “underserved communities,” including African Americans and “LGBTQ+ persons,” as established under President Joe Biden’s executive order on “advancing racial equity. HHS said the kits aim to reduce the risk of infection when smoking substances with glass pipes, which can lead to infections through cuts and sores. Plastic takes sealant differently than other materials, so you will need to take your sandpaper and rough up the area on both sides of the crack. 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.” Most cracks can be sealed using a special sealant, but the pipe needs to be prepared for the application. The $30 million grant program, which closed applications Monday and will begin in May, will provide funds to nonprofits and local governments to help make drug use safer for addicts.
The Biden administration is set to fund the distribution of crack pipes to drug addicts as part of its plan to advance “racial equity.” Crack Pipe: A pipe used for boiling and inhaling drugs in freebase form, from crack cocaine to methamphetamine, DMT, heroin, 2-CT-7 or anything else that can be made into a freebase.
