Vancouver to Offer Clean Pipes to Crack Addicts
New pilot program latest effort to curb risks of drug use.

Vancouver will soon begin handing out fresh crack pipes to addicts in a bid to curb the transmission of disease among drug users.
Needle-exchange programs and safe-injection sites for heroin users have become increasingly common in urban centers around the globe. Similar programs aimed at crack addicts, however, are much more controversial and, as a result, much less common.
Vancouver already hands out clean mouthpieces, but the new pilot program will go a step further, bringing the city’s efforts in line with Calgary and Winnipeg, which also offer free pipes, CBCNews reports.
Crack addicts usually use small glass or Pyrex stems, bottles, cans or even hollow car antennas to smoke the drug. They often share these homemade pipes, putting themselves and others at risk of contracting diseases such as HIV and hepatitis.
Advocates say that the pipe-distribution programs also have another added benefit: they help foster interaction between users and heath-care workers, which can create a clear path to rehab.
“Will these services stop them from using drugs? For some people it will, but some won't,” Walter Cavalieri of the Canadian Harm Reduction Network told CBC. “Some will continue to use drugs but use them safely, some will cut back, and some will die, but their lives and health will be greatly improved.”

Dr. Hofmann became an impassioned advocate for the environment and argued that LSD, besides being a valuable tool for psychiatry, could be used to awaken a deeper awareness of mankind’s place in nature and help curb society’s ultimately self-destructive degradation of the natural world.
But he was also disturbed by the cavalier use of LSD as a drug for entertainment, arguing that it should be treated in the way that primitive societies treat psychoactive sacred plants, which are ingested with care and spiritual intent.
This sense has developed into the modern English use of "cavalier" to describe a recklessly nonchalant attitude, although still with a suggestion of stylishness.
