FIRST ON FOX: Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., sent a letter to Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra on Tuesday expressing her “grave concerns” about the department’s program that could reportedly use taxpayer money to distribute crack pipes to drug addicts.
The Washington Free Beacon initially reported on the program, noting that the department would prioritize applicants in “underserved communities” as defined under one of President Biden’s executive orders. An HHS spokesperson reportedly told the Beacon that the grants would fund smoking kits with pipes for users to smoke crystal methamphetamine, crack cocaine and “any illicit substances.”
The grant document references Biden’s executive order 13985, titled “Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government.”
“Government-funded drug paraphernalia is a slap in the face to the communities and first responders fighting against drugs flowing into our country from a wide-open southern border,” Blackburn wrote. “If this is the president’s plan to address drug abuse, our nation is in serious trouble.”
Blackburn gave HHS until March 1 to clarify whether the Biden administration is, in fact, authorizing the distribution of drug paraphernalia, which is in violation of the U.S. Code. The senator also demanded to know which entities applied to the grant program and how such entities are deemed eligible.
An HHS spokesperson described the Beacon’s report to Fox News as “blatant misinformation,” but did not explicitly deny the report.”The Harm Reduction Grant offered by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and authorized by the American Rescue Plan is a grant program designed to help Americans who are struggling with substance use stay healthy and safe, prevent overdose death, and find pathways into evidence-based treatments,” the HHS spokesperson said. “Like all programs that use federal funding, these grants must adhere to relevant federal, state and local laws or regulations.”

30 million tax payer dollars. That is a hell of a lot of $2 Crack pipes.
If the government is involved the cost will be 22 dollars per pipe
I do not think Biden sent it. I think whoever is really in charge did.

Looks like Carl didn’t get his free crack pipe. Maybe Biden will send you the deluxe model with a year supply of crack,since you like him soooo much.
Vets are struggling to survive and get LEGAL medical aid after suffering in military actions that Biden and most other politicians forced them to participate in so arms manufactures could bask in the sun on their yaughts
