Blue State Blues: Brooklyn Residents Irate Over Group Distributing Needles, Crack Pipes
1st June 2024
Some residents of the Clinton Hill neighborhood in Brooklyn say they are tired of addicts doing drugs in plain sight on their street.
And they are fed up with a city-backed harm reduction group giving them the drug paraphernalia to do so, reported the New York Post.
Vocal-NY, a statewide grassroots membership organization that offers harm reduction services to people who use drugs in New York City, has been distributing free needles, crack pipes and devices to “cook” heroin every Wednesday at the entrance to the Clinton–Washington Avenue subway station on the C line, according to the Post.
