New York City vending machine offering free crack pipes to drug users runs out overnight

Fox-

A vending machine in New York City that offers free crack pipes, condoms, and anti-overdose meds for addicts reportedly ran out of stock overnight. 

City health officials installed the big blue box in Brooklyn on Monday. By Tuesday afternoon, a drug-prevention program worker was spotted restocking the machine with safe sex kits and drug paraphernalia, The New York Post reported

An official from the NYC Health Department told Fox News Digital that the vending machine has sensors that alert workers when supplies are low. 

The Brooklyn vending machine is the first of four machines that will be installed in neighborhoods that data shows were hit hardest by the opioid crisis, officials said. The vending machine will be hosted by the nonprofit group Serving the Underserved (S:US). 

S:US and other proponents have argued that providing access to such paraphernalia and safe sex kits will help reduce drug overdoses and the spread of infectious diseases. 

An S:US spokesperson said the organization shares a common goal with the city “to ensure that the public health vending machine has a net positive benefit on the surrounding community.”

    “Serving the Undeserving would be a better title.

    Drug use is a choice.”

    …they kind of have a point, though.

    There certainly is a disparity in both quantity and quality between the drugs THEY are served and the drugs Hunter Biden is served.

    TRUE equity would be EVERYONE has an entire country sacrificed to keep them in hookers and blow.

    Viewed that way, this is just the first of many steps to get there…
