Luke 17:28-30 “Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built” but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed.
A group of San Francisco activists say they are planning to distribute free clean crack pipes to any addict that wants one.
The group claims that by providing the clean pipes, they are essentially providing the same service that the city is providing to drug addicts that inject via needles.
The city of San Francisco gives out approximately 2.7 million clean needles each year to addicts in an effort to lower the rates of blood transferred diseases like HIV and Hepatitis-C.
Laura Thomas of the HIV Prevention and Planning Council has made a formal recommendation to the city’s health department to have the city implement the plan. She said that the program would allow addicts to feel respected and likely make more of them come in for treatment for their diseases.
San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee said that he is not supportive of the proposal because he believes there are many other ways to control HIV without giving out free drug paraphernalia.
Some advocates say they will give out crack pipes even without the government approval, in violation of state and federal laws.
