New York City installed a vending machine that dispenses free crack pipes, fentanyl test strips, Narcan (an overdose reversal drug) and condoms.

Public health officials unveiled the machine on Monday in Brooklyn at 1676 Broadway, ABC7 New York reported. Less than 24 hours after its installation the machine was empty, according to the New York Post.

The machine cost the city $11,000 to install, and it also offers residents free COVID-19 testing, feminine sanitation products, hygiene kits, Vitamin C, and first aid kits. Residents must simply enter their zip code to gain access.

The vending machine is part of the city’s effort to reduce overdose deaths by 15% by 2025, according to a health department press release.

Just a matter of time before one person grabs them all and starts selling them for $1 a piece to pay for his fix. These people need help alsalso not just enabling.

What a dumb idea.

Folks should have to visit a social worker and health department official to access "free stuff," so at least the local government can make sure to ration the stuff.

Otherwise, the first person to come along, will loot the entire machine, and resell the stuff in it.

What genius government bureaucrat thought of this idea?
Apparently someone that has not spent a lot of time with poor folks.



". . . The state-negotiated rate for a two-pack is $75. For anyone buying Narcan kits retail, it’s more like $150. Branded Narcan has a stranglehold on government funding, even though the state-negotiated rate for two single-dose .4mg/mL vials of generic injectable naloxone hovers around $30.. . . "

NYC is a stupid city that is encouraging stupid, destructive behavior. I'd expect no more from that mayor and DA. I can see NYC becoming a place that decent folks avoid.

 

[Dekster]

I am surprised it took 24 hours for the machine to be empty

 

[Polishprince]

I am surprised it took 24 hours for the machine to be empty

it took less than 24 hours, but the city doesn't know how much less as they didn't check the machine for 24 hours.

Probably was emptied 5 minutes after it was loaded up.

I'm surprised someone didn't steal the machine.

Note to self: never go to NYC again.

 

[Polishprince]

I'm surprised someone didn't steal the machine.

Sort of heavy to take away, you'd need a truck for that kind of heist.

And you'd get heat from those who are counting on the city reloading the machine regularly for re-pilfering.

Some things are so inherently stupid that you find yourself at a loss for words.

I don't understand the dispensing of vitamins in the machine. I wouldn't think that Crack Heads and Junkies are that health conscious. Maybe that's a NYC thing? The dope heads around here could give a shit about their health.

The movie "Idiocracy" wasn't fiction. It was really a documentary.

Have to admit I would have snagged some narcan just in case I ever needed it.

No. Drugs should just be illegal and criminals treated like criminals. Crack pipes don't belong in a vending machine. Neither do narcan or fentanyl test strips.

You're answer isn't to get people to not smoke crack but make sure more people can smoke crack and so the pipes are evenly distributed? Jesus you belong in jail with the dopeheads.

Even stuff like the vitamin c and condoms is dumb as shit as well. If we had even a decent society they wouldn't be needed in a free vending machine. That doesn't solve any problems, it just shows the city accepts the problems.

It's as fucking stupid as a city saying "we know there are tons of rapes, robberies and murders. So we're going to install more cameras." It doesn't solve the source of the crime at all or address the issues.

The drug war was a total failure. If the public health approach works even marginally better then do that.

Why?

 

[badger2]

Drug stats do not discriminate the xylazine-laced fentanyl from the non-laced fentanyl, nor has anyone yet found out what percentage is pro-Chinese fentanyl.

Of course, I belong in jail for my opinions. Just crucify me now for being a realist about human behavior.

I was just commenting on, how this vending machine was emptied of tax payer funded items, so that the good they were intended to do, surely did not do the things they were intended.

Now, as to the morality of whether some of these things should be provided at public expense? I believe folks that are probably experts on this topic, have probably done some harm reduction studies, on how to best save tax payer money.

Would you rather have Narcan in the hands of opioid users, so they can treat themselves, or have taxpayers pick up the bill for ER visits?


Would you rather have health departments give out free crack pipes & condoms, or have an epidemic of Hep C, Aids & other STDS, as well as unwanted pregnancies? Idiots and dumb youth, are going to do what they are going to do. . . but, would it not be better for society to offer preventative measures to those who would take them?

The truth is? You are about as realistic about human society, and what can be accomplished and imposed upon all people, as the pie in the sky socialists' ideas about the reality of the human condition. You can't control the behavior of everyone in a free society.

You either embrace freedom and liberty, and all that entails, or you embrace authoritarianism.
