Hundreds of media outlets repeated false claims that the federal government was planning to pass out crack pipes as part of its harm reduction strategy.
This is completely false and a classic case of conservatives misconstruing data and facts to throw shade at the Biden administration.
The Department of Health and Human Services is offering $30 million in grant funding to service organizations and local governments across the country for “harm reduction” efforts.
According to the National Harm Reduction Coalition, “Harm reduction is a set of practical strategies and ideas aimed at reducing negative consequences associated with drug use. Harm Reduction is also a movement for social justice built on a belief in, and respect for, the rights of people who use drugs.”
All this and more on “AMplified.”
