(Photo by Spencer Platt\/Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Less than a day after being introduced by New York City officials, the city\u2019s first \u201cpublic health\u201d vending machine, which distributes items such as free condoms, crack pipes, and Narcan, a medication that reverses drug overdoses, is now empty after an influx of locals discovered the machine.<\/p>\n<p>The vending machine is the first of its kind in the Big Apple and is located in Brownsville, Brooklyn. Residents only need to enter the proper zip code to access the machine\u2019s contents. After that, they are given free access to COVID-19 tests, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/overdoses-up-700-after-oregon-decriminalizes-hard-street-drugs\/\" title=\"Overdoses Up 700% After Oregon Decriminalizes Hard Street Drugs\">fentanyl testing strips<\/a>, condoms, sanitary pads, Vitamin C, Narcan, tampons, nicotine gum, first aid kits, and \u201csafer smoking\u201d kits, which are essentially brand-new crack pipes. Officials also aim to include syringes in the projected vending machines they will be installing in the future.<\/p>\n<p>Less than 24 hours after the machine was first presented, all of the crackpipes had been taken by Tuesday morning at 9 a.m. ET. The free condoms, COVID-19 tests, and nicotine gum were also gone. The only items left were a few fentanyl testing strips.<\/p>\n<h3>Mixed Emotions Among Residents<\/h3>\n<p>Mixed emotions have stirred among the residents of the housing complex where the machine was installed.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>\u201cThat is not resources\u2026You are better off moving that gate and parking an ambulance right there,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>However, another local resident named Minoshi Caple, 56, did not see the placement of the vending machine as a negative thing.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>\u201cPeople are just trying to get high, they\u2019re not trying to die.\u00a0We need this. Somebody was out here, doing their thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Caple, who mentioned to reporters that she lives a few blocks away from the new vending machine, admitted that she uses hard drugs and that, if one were still available, she would have taken a crack pipe.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m mad that I didn\u2019t even get to see the good stuff,\u201d Caple said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Tim Brady, who is 64 years old and lives in the apartment building across from the new vending machine, shared a few comments as well.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>\u201cAt 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\u2019re not going to be able to stop them,\u201d Brady said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Many city dwellers and more Conservative locals are horrified that their tax dollars are being used to support drug use.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>\u201cI guess no one eats candy bars anymore\u2026 Remember when Narcan was supposed to be used only by trained professionals?\u201d said a New Yorker who wished to remain anonymous.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>New York City plans to place more free public health vending machines in other neighborhoods shortly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new vending machine in Brooklyn will offer free fentanyl test strips, naloxone, hygiene kits, condoms, Vitamin C, and COVID-19 tests on June 05, 2023.
