Biden Admin Is Funding Drug Supply Vending Machines

The Biden administration is spending nearly $3.6 million to help fuel the drug epidemic with "harm reduction kiosks."

According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) a $3 million grant was awarded to place drug kiosks filled with items and substances such as naloxone, syringes, fentanyl test strips and condoms in the rust belt of Kentucky.

Some machines may even supply smoke kits that include crack pipes.

The Biden administration claims the kiosks will reduce the stigma for drug users, aiming to make drug use safer rather than eliminate it.

The NIH claims the vending machines are a more preferable method for drug users because it removes them from having to interact with an actual person who may potentially be a medical doctor.

All right, maybe he can give the hookers a reliable first-class credit card processing terminal so they don't get caught with hot checks or counterfeit money.

The left also banned ash trays in cars. Where are we supposed to put our spare change?

The downside of things is that smokers used to put their butts in the ash tray. Now, they just throw it out the window. Another consequence that the left caused.

I kick myself in the ass occasionally. I was working in a bar that had a machine when the left went after cigarettes.
Owner asked if I wanted the machine. It was one of the really nice ones. :blink:

Just think, in a few years these machines will go to the dump as well. :biggrin:

As an aside let's remember why smoking is down. It is down because folks figured out it was a bad idea, not because the left took away cigarette vending machines.

It's down because of cost. The left jacked up the taxes so high, no one can afford it.
Sin taxes are how the left control behavior, they don't give a shit about people, it's all about manipulation.

They do have a tendency to kill the golden goose.

Exactly! They took the easy money and sacrificed long-term tax income.

Another example is what the push for electric vehicles will do to gas tax revenues.

Yeah, another tax over highway gas taxes, your electric bill.

You have predicted what will happen. Some tax happy dem will suggest a tax for over use of electricity. The government will decide what over use is.

Exactly!!!
It's like when I warned about "Smart Meters", the govt will decide what rate you pay as you charge your car.
Day or night, they not only track what you do with your electricity, they can shut you down in a second.

People don't realize how far in advance the Marxists planned this.

Outlaw cigarette machines, however you can go to Germany and buy them from a street/sidewalk kiosk. Back on the day, all you had to do was insert your Deutsche Mark's there they are. No credit card. No ID card. Cash and collect.

I used to buy Marlboro for twenty cents pack at the PX. Two bucks a carton. Had I known what was coming? I'd be rich today. :biggrin:
