I mean, it’s true that govt in CA are providing “smoking kits w glass pipes”. Why?

The answer is in their name of the program.
They think it is “harm reduction”….like the free needle programs.
They soend millions on a “harm reduction program that chooses to give out free crack pipes as one strategy.
If I were you, I’d want to know where they are choosing to spend all of the rest of that money given their choice on the pipes.
