'Syringe Vending Machines' For Drug Addicts Are Now A Thing In Liberal Cities - Biden Regime And Democrats Deliberately Turning America Into Drug-Infested, Homeless Mini-Nations
Let me begin by acknowledging I use the term "democrat" rather than "democratic" because there is absolutely nothing democratic about liberals or the radical liberalism that has taken control of the democrat party.
With that out of the way, we see a recent report which explains the Biden regime is funding the placement of vending machines filled with drug supplies in a $3.6 million project that will "distribute syringes to country's overdose 'epicenter'", in rural Kentucky.
The project from the National Institutes of Health was launched in August and will study the effectiveness of "harm reduction kiosks" in rural Appalachia that contain "injection equipment, naloxone, fentanyl test strips, hygiene kits, condoms, and other supplies." The vending machines allow drug users to obtain items such as syringes without interacting with a health professional, in hopes of eliminating the "stigma" that comes with visiting an in-person harm reduction facility, according to the health agency.
Encourage their addiction by supplying them with drug paraphernalia, from a vending machine no less, making it as easy as buying a bag of chips or a soda, all so they won't feel stigmatized?
David Walls of The Family Foundation of Kentucky explains the objections to supplying drug paraphernalia to drug addicts as opposed to spending those funds on helping stop the drug usage.
He states: "This is just a wrong policy … for Kentucky. These kinds of failed policies that really enable drug use with government funding have failed, and this is just the wrong policy and a wrong social experiment to try here in Kentucky. We need to be focused on getting folks help and drug prevention instead of drug enabling policies."
One would think that would be simple common sense, but apparently that is not so common anymore.
The Washington Free Beacon in February reported that the Department of Health and Human Services was set to fund the distribution of crack pipes through a $30 million harm reduction grant program. The administration backed off the funding plans amid public backlash, and the New York Times reported that the uproar over plans to fund crack pipes "derailed" Biden's drug policy agenda. The White House, however, still appears willing to adopt controversial harm reduction policies—the New York Times reported in July that Biden's drug czar Dr. Rahul Gupta was supportive of legalized injection sites, which allow users to take drugs with supervision from health professionals.
The new study, which is conducted by the University of Kentucky, appears to be the first effort from the federal government to deploy harm-reduction vending machines. Harm reduction vending machines have been popularized in Canada, Australia, and other countries. A few U.S. states, including New York, Rhode Island, Ohio, and Nevada, have deployed the machines in recent years. The machines sometimes include smoking kits, which in many cases include crack pipes.
At the time of the blockbuster report from the Beacon about the U.S. government handing out kits that included crack pipes, the liberal press did what they do best, they went into complete damage-control mode for democrats, specifically Joe Biden.
Fact-checkers denied the kits would include "crack pipes," the WH Press Secretary denied the reports, liberal MSM outlets worked overtime to declares it just wasn't true..... but it was, which was why the Biden regime made it appears as if they were backing off the plan.

It is starting to become more apparent how Joe Biden ended up raising a crack/drug addicted son, Hunter, willing to video-tape himself on his drug-ridden binges.
LIBERALLY CONTROLLED CITIES/STATES FASCILITATING DRUG USAGE
For thinking this isn't representative of the Biden regime's policies, nor liberal policies across the board, let us take a quick gander into "harm reduction" policies and facilities in multiple states.
• In Baltimore, a safe smoking kit distributed at the nonprofit organization Charm City Care Connection includes glass pipes, copper mesh and instructions on how to use the pipe. The organization has received state funding in the past, including $200,000 in government grants in 2019, according to the Free Beacon report.
• A few hours north in Boston, the Access, Harm Reduction, Overdose Prevention and Education facility offered a bin of pipes for users to take from. The facility is reportedly run by the Boston Public Health Commission.
• The Alliance’s Lower East Side Harm Reduction Center in New York also provides pipes – for smoking crack cocaine as well as meth – and smoking literature, the Free Beacon found. The center – which reportedly has received $20 million in funding from HHS since 2004 – also distributed copper mesh, which is used to hold a crack rock at the end of a pipe.
• In Washington DC, the Honoring Individual Power and Strength harm reduction center also provides various pipes and has a history of receiving $3.1 million in funding from SAMHSA since 2018.
• The fifth location the outlet visited was the River City Harm Redux organization in Richmond. The location provided a crack cocaine smoking kit, as well as a meth pipe and two “snorting kits” for users to snort drugs with.
What does Baltimore, Boston, Richmond, Lower East side NY, and DC have in common?
Liberal leadership.
WATCHINING THE DELIBERATE DESTRUCTION OF AMERICAN CITIES
It isn't only the facilitation to drug usage which is causing the deliberate destruction of American cities from one end of the country to the other. There is also the fact that we are watching complete chaos on the streets in places like San Francisco, California, and Portland, Oregon, just to name a couple.
A recently released video provides visual confirmation of what the polices of liberal leaders, in liberal state/cities, have allowed to become the "normal," in said areas.
The video description, from YouTube. The video below is from Rumble since YouTube decided to age-restrict the video which prevents it from being embedded.
A viral video making its rounds on social media offers a grim new snapshot of San Francisco’s surging homelessness crises as two men can be seen brawling amid squalid conditions on a city sidewalk. The shocking scene was filmed and posted to Twitter by J. Terrell Allen, who said he stumbled upon the wild fight in San Francisco’s SoMa neighborhood on an evening walk.
Look to Portland, where the sidewalks are blocked by tents for the homeless.
Those are just two examples of dozens where liberal policies have led to drug usage, facilitated by state/city leaders and drug paraphernalia vending machines, drug dens, massive increases in homelessness, needles and feces in the streets, and other dangerous and deadly conditions, directly related to state and/or city policies.
BOTTOM LINE
Democrats/liberals want to turn the entire country into separate drug-infested, homeless, mini nations.
Now to top things off, after a prolonged campaign by a variety of high profile democrats/democorat socialists, to "defund" the police, which resulted in sweeping crime waves across liberal American cities, now democrats are claiming they were never proponents of the "defund the police" movement.
So, a reminder, something to show anyone that dares try to deny what liberal democrats said at the time, a flashback video of "7 Minutes of Democrats Saying Defund The Police."
