So apparently it turns out that they aren't putting actual crack pipes in this package. So they say anyway. I don't fully believe them and it truly wouldn't surprise me if they changed it after the news hit the fan.
I wonder what Geraldo would say now? After pushing and pushing that it was kind of a necessity, it's now gone just like that. So will he and/or others now complain that people will die, that they need crack pipes? :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
Very doubtful, but that will only show their level of lying and hypocrisy.\
But they are still having packages of some sort for addicts.

Snuffed Out: FNC’s Heinrich Pins Psaki Down Over Reported Plan to Fund Crack Pipes
Wednesday’s Psaki Show included a topic few would ever expect to pop up (aside from Hunter Biden references) as Fox News White House correspondent Jacqui Heinrich repeatedly grilled Press Secretary Jen Psaki over a Free Beacon report (by former MRCTV intern Patrick Hauf) that a Health and Human Services (HHS) grant for “safe smoking kits” would include crack pipes.
Despite vehement denials by HHS, Psaki, and their allies in the so-called fact-checking profession, there’s been no solidified evidence to debunk the grant and, thanks to Hauf’s story, the administration has said they would ensure they weren’t included. Regardless, the program has been seen as encouraging drug use instead of helping users quit.
Heinrich cut to the chase, citing an HHS statement: “clarifying...reports that crack pipes are not going to be part of the ‘safe smoking kits’ that are funded by the administration, but can you clarify for us: Were they never a part of the kit or were they removed in response to this reporting and this pushback?”
Psaki tried to wiggle out of it, insisting, “[t]hey were never a part of the kit; it was inaccurate reporting and we wanted to put out information to make that clear.”
That ran contrary to the grant, which Hauf said would include “smoking kits/supplies” with an HHS official stating the kits would allow someone to smoke “any illicit substance.”
Heinrich asked the next logical question “what is in the safe smoking kit” and Psaki said it ranged from “alcohol swabs, lip balm, other materials” like “fentanyl test strips clean syringes” so that they could “address the opioid epidemic” and “reduce the transmission of...diseases like HIV and hepatitis.”
With Psaki having outlined that a kit that would allow people to do a host of drugs, Heinrich asked whether the Biden administration “support[s]” drug use and, if not, why have they asked the Justice Department to examine the legality of “safe injection sites.”
