Seattle\u2019s county government recently paid out millions of dollars to hand out free crack pipe kits to addicts.\u00a0The kits included tinfoil and instructions on how to smoke fentanyl. And the crack pipes were emblazoned with an image of Martin Luther King Jr. Would Dr. King have been proud of the association? Inquiring minds want to know.<\/p>\n

That sounds like an excellent use of taxpayers\u2019 money!<\/p>\n

Who thought this was a good idea?<\/p>\n

Apparently, someone named Amber Tejada, an employee of a health nonprofit that had partnered with the city, for one.<\/p>\n

When a councilwoman queried her about the program, Tejada stated, \u201cI know it can be a little controversial, but one of the key tenets of harm reduction that I see is that we want to be able to facilitate and champion autonomy of people who use drugs.\u201d She added, \u201cThere are folks for whom abstinence is not something by which they measure their success in life.\u201d<\/p>\n

A key tenet of harm reduction <\/em>is championing the autonomy<\/em> of drug addicts?<\/p>\n

Few if any drug addicts have \u2014 or exercise — much autonomy because addiction itself means no\u00a0autonomy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Probably because \u201cabstinence is not something by which they measure their success in life.\u201d That checks out, as most addicts don\u2019t experience a great deal of success in their lives. In one sense, addiction is addiction, whether it be to drugs, alcohol, food, submissiveness, or Trump Derangement Syndrome. Yet many of us know \u201cfunctional\u201d alcoholics, but few functional fentanyl, crack, and meth addicts are to be found.<\/p>\n

Martin Luther King, Jr. famously spoke of \u201cthe content of one\u2019s character.\u201d I don\u2019t believe the content of the hyper-empathetic progressives\u2019 character is any better than that of the addicts they enable. Maybe worse, despite \u2014 or because of \u2014 their virtue signaling.<\/p>\n

King\u2019s likeness on the crack pipes makes no sense, even if the county was named for him.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s next for Seattle and its far-left sister cities? Are they going to hand out free bongs sporting images of Susan B. Anthony? Free coke spoons adorned with the visage of Rosa Parks? Or even highball glasses graced with the likeness of Mahatma Gandhi?<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t get it. And, frankly, I\u2019m happy I don\u2019t. This policy seems insane to me. Seattle\u2019s leaders can put that <\/em>in their pipes and smoke it!<\/p>\n
