The machine's contents are free for residents who punch in the right zip code
   
They offer safe smoking kits with pipes, lip balm and mouthpieces
 
Unveiled just yesterday, all of the crack pipes had been taken by Tuesday morning

New York City's first public health vending machine giving out free crack pipes, condoms and Narcan, an overdose-reversing drug, is already empty less than 24 hours after being unveiled by officials.

The machine in Brownsville, Brooklyn, is the first of its kind in the Big Apple.  The city's Democrats hailed it as a watershed, public health moment yesterday, calling a press conference to tout their initiative and promise more down the line.

To access the machine's contents, residents simply need to punch in the right zip code. Then, they'll have free access to the strips, Narcan, condoms, tampons, nicotine-gum, first aid kits and the 'safer smoking kits', sanitary pads, Vitamin C and COVID-19 tests.

Officials hope to put syringes in the next ones.

By 9am on Tuesday - less than 24 hours after it was first displayed - all of the crackpipes had been taken. Gone too were the condoms, the COVID-tests and the nicotine-gum. All that was left were a few fentanyl-testing strips.

Residents of the housing authority building where the machine was placed have mixed feelings about it.

One man, who declined to give his name but said he lived in the community, said after being asked if he would take anything from the machine: ‘That [the machine] shouldn’t be here. The resource building is right here.

‘That is not resources...you are better off moving that gate and parking an ambulance right there,' he said.

Bushwich local Minoshi Caple, 56, was more in favor.

‘People are just trying to get high, they’re not trying to die. We need this. Somebody was out here, doing their thing.

One woman, who lives in East New York and is visiting her son in the neighborhood, said that she purposely made her way to the vending machine on Tuesday to pick up supplies to help others. She said: ‘I’m going to help and assist them [drug users] with it. That’s what we do, help each other.’

'I had to stay out here to make sure she was okay. Everything is bootleg now. The drugs aren’t real anymore, and it doesn’t even burn right. Why are we smoking that anymore?’

Caple, who lives a few blocks from the new vending machine, admitted that she is a drug user - and would have taken a crack pipe if there were one available.

The mom-of-six said about the drug pipes in the machine: ‘It depends on what kind it is. It depends on what you got.’

Speaking about the near-empty machine, she said: ‘I’m mad that I didn’t even get to see the good stuff.’

She then plugged in her zip code and took one of the remaining fentanyl-testing kits.

As she watched the machine drop her test into the base so she could pick it up, Caple muttered: ‘Come on baby.’

By 11:30am, the only products left were two fentanyl-testing kits.

As she retrieved her fentanyl test and the last remaining packet of overdose-busting drug Naloxone, she said: ‘It’s wonderful. It’s a wonderful idea.

‘They should have this in every neighborhood.’

Tim Brady, 64, who lives in the apartment building across from the vending machine, said: 'At first I was against it, but now I see where it takes preventive measures. I wish we could do more to prevent fentanyl and drugs from coming in, but they are here and we’re not going to be able to stop them.

'So at least they can do what they’re doing and practice it safely. I’m not promoting it. I can’t say I like it.

'But I kind of like the message that it’s sending. It’s unfortunate that we’re in this situation.'

He said 'half the residents' inside the building where the machine is were 'strung out on drugs'. 

The contents may be free for residents - but each machine will cost the city $11,000. It's unclear how many are planned.

'We are in the midst of an overdose crisis in our city, which is taking a fellow New Yorker from us every three hours and is a major cause of falling life expectancy in NYC,' health commissioner Commissioner Dr. Ashwin Vasan said proudly yesterday.

'But we will continue to fight to keep our neighbors and loved ones alive with care, compassion and action.

'We’ll leave no stone unturned until we reverse the trends in opioid-related deaths in our city.'

But some city residents and Republicans are aghast that their tax dollars are being spent on facilitating drug use.

'This, my friends, is another reason Democratic-run cities are hell holes!' said one.

'Get your free crack pipes courtesy of tax payers!! Insanity!!! NYC vending machine offers free Narcan, drug-test strips.'

'What could go wrong?' said another.

'I guess no one eats candy bars anymore… Remember when Narcan was supposed to be used only by trained professionals?' asked another jaded New Yorker.

'These people are morons. They give away crack pipes, needles will be next, and Narcan.

'How about just give away te Narcan and not the crack pipe and needles? another fumed.

They should definitely make things like Narcan more accessible.

I don't think that buying into social programs should be a precondition for independent drug use or that free market drugs without the duty paid should be contraband.

My experience with collectivist programs is that high status families, with no identifiable mores, take the lion's share.

I understand the concept but I don’t feel like it’s the best idea

I see they're bent on making sure addicts stay on the streets and increase in number.

They won't put them in rehab. They won't put them in jail. They think "saving lives" of people living the worst possible lives, without improving those lives, is some sort of victory. It's an incredibly paltry victory, frankly.

Different states have published their list of acceptable business licenses, one of which is crisis housing, in my state.

The court can appoint you to live in a repurposed apartment complex, hotel, or condo, where your movement is restricted.

In our experience, the landlords' kids got the best toy donations, so had celebrity status.

All entry level jobs in the immediate area were filled by 'the ranch', which kept proceeds, at the discretion of the landlords.

Leftover donations were processed by sweatshop labor and shipped abroad.

Tenants were compelled to donate personal property, before taking from the collective boxcar of goods.

So, the alternative to welfare is neo feudalism.

The answer to woke cancer is minorities who shock white knights with their own brand of racist humor.
