Vancouver health authority begins its free crack pipe program for addicts. “The glass pipes are heat-resistant and shatterproof, which experts say should reduce injury to the users’ lips and mouth – wounds that can make them more susceptible to diseases such as HIV and Hepatitis B and C.” What a crackpot idea.

Because the addiction continues, there comes a point in which the addict doesn't perform the addiction safely, so to speak. If they don't have a government-issued crack pipe they'll use whatever because they're addicted. They should take the money from this program and give treatment to a few who are willing.
Have any of you had the pleasure of dealing with a crackhead? I have seen a couple hundred in my lifetime. Their teeth fall out, skin yellows, eyes bloodshot, they can't sit still for very long, the addiction is so overwhelming they can't stop thinking about their next "rock". Five dollars a rock is what it goes for, that's about two minutes worth. Bigger rocks are twenty bucks a piece. This shit is worse than Heroin, or regular cocaine. These people do not care about hygiene (trust me on that one), and they constantly will hang around each other waiting fro someone to drop a rock. They get so screwed up after a certain point there is no return and if they are hospitalized and come out clean, they will never be stable due to the brain damage.
That's what makes this story so amazing, they are handing out pipes and telling people in reality to go smoke and kill yourself. I guess this is Vancouver's way of getting rid of the crackheads, encourage them to hurry up and die. Problem is a few die but the rest end up being hospitalized or in a happy home doing the "Thorazine shuffle". And just guess who pays for that? We all do.
Crackheads also steal anything they can get their hands on, If you have had a lot of copper thefts in your area, you have crack heads and to a lesser extent meth users. Crack heads steal, recycle and use the money to go buy drugs. here in good old Kalifornia, they get EBT cards instead of a check, and the first thing they do on the first of the month, is go to some Stop and Rob, buy anything they can sell to buy rock.
This stuff is all consuming. If you get a chance to do a ride a long with a cop who works in the bad part of town, do it, see for your self what a crack head looks like. It rots you from the inside out, burns your lungs, its terrible. I suppose next Canada will be giving out government approved rock cocaine, just like government cheese.
encourage them to hurry up and die
That's how they control the costs of their "free" healthcare!
Am I wrong to think of Vancouver as the Canadian version of San Francisco?
Nope....by the way San Francisco is where they invented crapping in public....Its a tradition, just walk around the Tenderloin or Castro Districts....If your lucky you'll see a naked guy at Burger King sitting on his towel...Vancouver is slightly cleaner but just a weird.
So you can't BUY this stuff (drug paraphenalia) and can get arrested for having it on your person, but the Government is going to GIVE it away?
*face plant*
Now the people that used to smoke cigarettes will have to get a free crack pipe to put their tobacco in.
I think generally speaking , you need to be smoking with a crack pipe to be able to fully believe that the good stuff the STATE is thinking about doing to us , is actually good for us . They used too , and I believe still do , use fool-aid to make this happen , but STATE produced crack is easier to make and use.
Just saying.
But the same liberals banned smoking tobacco?
Second hand cigar smoke is very dangerous in liberal la-la-land but second hand crack smoke...is not.
Heck what are all the little stop and robs gonna do with those little flower vases that everyone uses for crack pipes now? In the old days crackheads used babyfood jars with a straw sticking out to suck on and a piece of brillo pad to "filter" the crack..Leave it to a liberal to invest a safe way to screw yourself up....
What a great idea. Maybe the authorities can supply free condoms to pedophiles?
Maybe they can supply free CHILDREN to pedophiles.
Sorry, can't handle that even as a joke.
Wow, now that is a prime example of thinking like a government employee! I bow to the master.
I'm just upset because you came up with the same thing I was going to say!
