Washington, D.C. — U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) announced he will introduce legislation to amend Section 2706 of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (P.L. 117-2) to prohibit any funds from directly or indirectly purchasing, supplying, or distributing crack pipes or similar drug paraphernalia. Days earlier, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) appeared to confirm that part of the $30 million grant program would go toward “smoking kits/supplies,” which frequently includes crack pipes. The Palm Beach Post also confirmed the Biden Administration planned to give out free crack pipes. Rubio called it “insanity” in a video posted on Twitter. The Biden Administration has since said crack pipes will not be part of the so-called safe crack smoking kits.
“I am glad the Biden Administration acknowledges sending crack pipes to our nation’s addicts is a bad idea,” Rubio said. “It is pure insanity to think the federal government would fund crack pipe distribution. I will introduce legislation in the coming days to make sure this program can never pay for crack pipes, and given the Biden Administration’s position I look forward to their vigorous support.”
RUBIO DA LA BIENVENIDA A REVOCACIÓN DE LA ADMINISTRACIÓN BIDEN SOBRE PIPAS DE CRACK, INTRODUCIRÁ LEGISLACIÓN PARA CODIFICAR LEY EXISTENTE
Washington, DC — El senador estadounidense Marco Rubio (R-FL) anunció que presentará una legislación para enmendar la Sección 2706 de la Ley del Plan de Rescate Estadounidense del 2021 (PL 117-2) para prohibir que cualquier fondo público compre, suministre o distribuya directa o indirectamente pipas de crack o parafernalia de drogas similar. Hace unos días, el Departamento de Salud y Servicios Humanos (HHS, por sus siglas en inglés) pareció confirmar que parte del programa de subvenciones de $30 millones de dólares se destinaría a “equipos/suministros para fumar”, que con frecuencia incluyen pipas de crack. El Palm Beach Post también confirmó que la Administración Biden planeó repartir pipas de crack gratuitas. Rubio tildo esto como una “locura” en un video en inglés publicado vía Twitter. Desde entonces, la Administración Biden ha dicho que las pipas de crack no formarán parte de los llamados kits seguros para fumar crack.
“Me alegra que la Administración Biden reconociera que enviar pipas de crack a los adictos de nuestra nación es una mala idea”, Rubio dijo. “Es una locura pensar que el gobierno federal financie la distribución de pipas de crack. Presentaré una legislación en los próximos días para asegurarme que este programa nunca pueda pagar las pipas de crack y, dada la postura de la Administración Biden, espero su apoyo”.
