  • But crackpipes are illegal . . . Why not pass out free hypodermic needles.

    You can buy hypodermic needles for cheap prices at WalMart.

  • Smoke Rock!

  • why can the do this with bongs :(

  • It's possible for HIV to be transmitted through unsafe handling of pipes, but the real problem is hepatitis. Smoking crack causes cracked and bleeding lips, so sharing pipes can transmit diseases that way. Groups have been doing this in Canada and elsewhere for a while now. He didn't talk about it (or they didn't put it on film at least) but most of those kits have a separate mouthpiece, so that users who are sharing a pipe can just swap out the mouthpieces.

  • It's Seattle. What do you expect?

  • 90% of crack pipes ive come across and used have been broken at some point and have a sharp edge. Contracting hiv through sharing a pipe is possible. who doesnt need a free crack pipe. Its almost as important as owning condems

  • what a bad idea... thanks for helping crack heads do more crack... jack ass

  • This guy is an idiot. You cannot spread HIV through crack pipes. You can spread hepatitis but not HIV.

    I'm in favor of any harm reduction methods that save money in the long run via not having to treat diseases that could have been avoided by clean pipes, needles, etc., but the idiot spokesperson shouldn't be in front of a camera talking about prevention of diseases that can't be transmitted through pipes to begin with.

  • This makes me so F-ing sick. How is this hippie, hemp hat wearing, piece of trash, in charge of govt. money in the first place? He's spending a quarter of a million dollars of our money on crack pipes for the scum of Seattle to get high. What a piece of shit.

  • Comment removed

  • @spellcheckforyou Funded by private donations, says the video. Nice rant, though.

  • @wallaka Good catch. Then I redact that part of my rant and I would like to add that I am losing faith in the human race. Anyone that would give donations to a program like this, well I guess they are just as retarded as hippie hemp hat guy. Thanks for enabling crack heads in Seattle jackass! One MORE reason for me not to like Seattle.

  • @spellcheckforyou do you think the crackheads would stop doing crack if they couldn't get clean pipes? they claim it is saving taxpayer dollars by preventing the spread of disease, which makes sense. why not applaud the fact that a private organization is doing something that might save taxpayer dollars?

    personally, i'm not convinced that the program will do anything to prevent the spread of disease. pipes aren't needles and i'm guessing the transmission rates would be extremely low.

  • @striatic So first you say that it makes sense to give crackpipes to crackheads because it will prevent the spread of disease, then in our second paragraph you say that you aren't convinced it would do anything to prevent the spread of disease. So which is it.

    Isn't this like elementary school stuff? How many people get AIDS/HIV by sharing a cigarette? Same thing with a crackpipe. You're doing nothing but helping crackheads by giving them shiny new shit to smoke out of.

  • @spellcheckforyou my comment was unclear because i ran into the character count. what i meant was that if crack pipes actually did spread HIV, then it is a good idea that would save taxpayer money and makes sense, since the crack heads would just continue using dirty pipes if clean ones weren't available. it isn't enabling crack use.

    on the other hand, HIV doesn't spread via straws or cigs - so unless there's something unique about crackpipes this program neither hurts nor helps.

  • @spellcheckforyou did you watch the video? the reporter says the program is privately funded.

  • @striatic hence the reason I posted another comment...

  • @spellcheckforyou i commented via the "highest rated comments" section, and didn't see your reply below.

  • @spellcheckforyou

    I'll agree with you that he is an idiot but he's not spending government money. At the end it says it's funded by private donations.

  • @spellcheckforyou Hey Crack Head, watch the video..it CLEARLY says its funded by private donors.

  • Crack is whack, like the Central intelligence Agency who invented it.

  • There comes a time when a society must realize that a culling is needed. We have been preaching to our kids since the 60s about the hazards of drugs. Everyone has been told a long time ago that crack and meth will destroy your life and harm those around you, so they have been warned. Time to gather them up and send them to camps to either clean up or ,,,,oh well

  • ah, how do crack pipes spread hiv?

    i think shilo needs to stop using what he's handing out.

  • How the hell can you get HIV from a crack pipe?! Are people jabbing it into their arms???

  • i'm curious who the funders are behind this group, and totally suspect their motives. Not only does HIV never once been proven to be spread by crack pipes, but users can make their own apparatus to smoke with. I'm very suspicious that, at best, this group has no idea what harm reduction really is, and at worst, is working to enable an incredible epidemic that should be approached very differently than heroin addiction.

  • I understand clean free needles, but clean free crack pipes? 

  • Esau at work

  • I think this could be a good idea but only if, as for needles, one demonstrate that there is a net benefit to health. Otherwise, next we will give crack for free because "people will do drug regardless of what we say or do" (his argument, which does not stand here - the point is only to save lives which breaking the cycle of sharing needles do, not crack pipes).

  • finally the crackheads have a friend they can count on

  • our entire programm of smoking weed costs less than 100.00$ a year

  • This guys an idiot. Period. Giggity.

  • @nachosan216 It's good to see that you guys recognize each other giggity giggity

  • Hell yea u got that right thats disturbing, more dumb fucks on the streets, come to me when your feening for that high asking for a dollar, ill be sure to introduce u to my glock, fuckn retards

  • This can't be a good thing.

  • Oh shit, I just saw Whitney Houston gettin' a free pipe!

  • They should be passing out free blunts. Bitches.

  • this is ridiculous

  • I'm going to need a pack of grape cigarillos a day. You can keep the guts!

  • Everyone in Seattle looks like they smell and r from 92

  • Smoking crack is just as dangerous as AIDS so what problem is being solved here?

    Or is this another depopulation agenda? Help them kill themselves...

  • If ur dumbass wants to go smoke crack then u can live or die with the consequences. Don't fucking smoke crack duh

  • @Locksmith2dmvp ..Oh my gosh...hahahah...too funny and true-

  • this would help but at the same time ..it wont.. but ...... fuk crack ftw?

  • Yea, funded by private donations... Wanna bet the "private donors" make drug money off it?

  • Wow. I never fail to be amazed at how ridiculous the human race is becoming.

  • What do you expect? It's Seattle.

  • Dumbass crackheads, better spend your money on the dollar menu before you starve to death.

  • Loves this idea!

  • Enablers

  • This actually makes no sense. No proof that AIDS is spread thru crack pipes. Something odd about this...

  • Free weed please?

  • wtf? this jackass is ridiculous, how common is it that people spread hiv by sharing crackpipes?? i'll bet his uncle had a surplus of these pipes, or something. it makes no sense, unless hes working agood angle.

  • youtube.com/watch?v=tv8DPaDUY7­c

  • How does passing out crack pipes prevent the spread of aids? Its the dumbest think i heard all day. Next they will be selling the crack to these same people...

  • someone needs to crack shilo up the side of the head 

  • I guess this is going over my head, but how do you contract HIV from a dirty crack pipe? Aren't viral counts in saliva so low that it's nearly impossible to contract HIV from exchanging saliva? If that were the case the rate of infection would be much much higher. I understand distributing clean needles because sharing needles is very dangerous. I guess the logic is that if people have pipes they won't shoot it up, But shooting up is a preference and not something they do out of "necessity".

  • this doesn't promote crack use. if someone gave you a crack pipe, would you feel compelled to go out and smoke crack? no. these people are going to smoke it regardless, and while it's unlikely they'd get HIV, there's a whole host of diseases they could get which make them an even bigger burden to society. this is humane, but more importantly it's cost effective.

    a real solution is to stop mandatory minimum sentences for pot smokers and put that money and manpower back to work to fight crack..

  • @lancelottodd Mandatory minimum sentences are a needless burden on taxpayers and families. It isn't moral or even sane to give a drugdealer more prison time than a child molestor, murderer, or rapist.... punishment should fit the crime.

  • @lancelottodd Ask yourself this, genuis. Who other than a crack head would except a free crack pipe?

  • @dahoss65 it's called a metaphor dipshit, they taught it to you in 3rd grade. my point was: receiving a crack pipe doesn't make the crack HEAD any more or less likely to smoke crack. it is what it is. a cleaner way for them to smoke crack, so they don't get hepatitis and leech even more off the government than they do already.

  • lol whitney will be paying them a visit

  • Comment removed

  • I can see handing out needles or bleach is this an Aprils fools joke this is the stupidest thing I have ever heard.

  • I think what we should do is have adopt a crack addict day!!! buy as much crack as you can, mix with rat poison and give it to your adopted crack addict !!! you kill 2 birds with one stone!!! no aids worries and your adopted crack addict dies with in hours!! ridding the streets of them!! wow what a concept!!! who wants to donate!!!!

  • Mr Murphy smokes too much crack, licks too much mens crack, and sucks too much cock... Seattle do yourself a favor and help Mr Murphy disappear ... permanently

  • loool you need to drink maybe 10 litre of someone his spit to get a disease... and even then its probably a 1 in a 1000 shot :s

    this is a useless idea and this is basically promoting crack.

    stupid americans.

  • @Vleesball the msg you are sending to an addict if you give em free crack pipes is ..its oke to smoke crack...

  • @Vleesball The reason tis is news is because it's a rediculous idea. Only this guy and crackheads think this is a good idea......not Americans. What country are you from?

  • @kdavidmcd sorry dude just watching american news makes me sick...the stupidity and crime in one day to month in america happens here in europe maybe in one year...or even a half decade.

    thats the reason i say AMERICANS.. dont take it to personal, i know there are many good people in america.

  • @Vleesball Thanks man. What do you think the cause is? What are they doing differently there? I think it's our prison system. They lock people up for nothing, and it only makes them a more violent, better criminal. Is marijuana legal yet where you live? They put people in jail for that here, yet the bartender is freely allowed to deal alcohol to people in huge quantities, knowing that they will get behind the wheel and drive. Bartenders and bar owners are worse than drugdealers if you ask me.

  • @kdavidmcd In europe kids get alot more responsibility.

    Being 14 years old in europe is like being 21 years old in america.

    I am almost sure it has to do with this.

    Also where i live drugs isnt legal, but when a cop catches you.. they either let you keep it or they just take it away O_o less problems for everyone.

    Maybe americans are stressed out cause of the billion stupid rules you guys have ?

  • @Vleesball hey guy i grew up in asia and am just as critical of the americans as anybody else but next time try a more constructive approach when talking to americans with such blanket statements. Do you even know what crack is; it's an incredibly unique drug, with a lower survival/recovery rate than even heroin.

  • P.S. that guy seems like he smoked a few brain cells away in his day.

  • @FaithNoMore1977 the only crack he smoked was his boyfriends.. thats why his speech is still slurred from the dirty Sanchez...

  • I don't think giving out free crack pipes will encourage drug use but i don't think it will reduce the hiv transmission either. They are still going to share the pipes.

  • These guys should pair-up with "Guns For Tots" in Detroit. LOL

  • Can I get a FREE BONG..I don't do crack BUT a bong would be awesome! LOL

  • @AdonisKingAXC man who wouldnt want one 

  • @AdonisKingAXC thats a good point actually since tabacco causes cancer and bongs take that risk away!

  • @AdonisKingAXC

    hahahaha yeah

  • Crack kills......weed rules. The real qustion here is,why dose Seattle fucking blow and why is full of junkies? The so called mecca,the magnet for white people like myself to live under a bridge and kill themselves on bullshit like crack and heroin. Fuckinf sad.....very. Grunge that.

  • LOL

  • What is up with all these new videos that are uploaded displaying 305 views?

  • @Hollywood1127

    It's like the limit on how many views a video can get on the first 12 hours or something. After that it will change.

  • thats a nice thing to do but like the reporter said, the needles do help stop the passage of desease but crack pipes don't and oh yeh, i say legalize ALL drugs for people over 18 and with certain restrictions

  • Now that they are giving out free crack pipes, I am going to start smoking crack. This was really the determining factor in my decision to smoke crack.

  • i know this would sound a little extreme but what if you lace the pipes with poison so that they die.. this way the crime rates decrease the drug dealers loose business and go elsewhere and their wont exist the threat of some broke fuck outside trying 2 rape and rob your mothers and sisters coming home from work at night.it would also lower prostitution less crack whores.

  • @GitanoRenegado i like where your going w/ this.

  • Who's the sponsor, Tyrone Biggums?

  • @ZMorpheus hahahaha..luvit!!!

  • fucking disgusting......

  • what about the free crack ho's?

  • How does passing out crack pipes help ANYTHING?

  • when I grow up I want to be a crackhead.

  • how does a crack pipe reduce HIV? He is smoking crack.

  • Seattle......Where they give everyone here or that moves here the black hoody with the white strings from American Apparel... LOL

  • @jayham28 You're retarded.

  • Seems like Shilo has a vested interest in the crack biz, maybe doing some dealing on the side..

  • Crack is still wack,Wed is what you need

  • @JDaKingman Wed huh?

  • @dustinallen1982 yep wed is ta best :P

  • @JDaKingman well, you're not exactly the person that should be representing the culture, considering you cant even spell "weed".

  • @dustinallen1982 it's called a typo -_- smdh

  • @JDaKingman i would normaly agree with you, but the chances that you made that same "typo" twice are slim to none, so no, you are indeed retarded from smoking too much weed, lol

  • @dustinallen1982 that maybe true.the second one was on purpose tho. lol

  • i thought washington was a ''meth state''

  • All this is doing is taking away any threat. You do drugs, you deserve to get what ever you have coming to you. You are just a waist of life at this point anyway. Drug users are all retarded.

  • WTF

  • Hmm.. so how does a crack pipe prevent anything? IT FUCKING DOESN'T... This guy is a complete moron who needs to read about how HIV is spread. BODILY FLUIDS i.e blood, semen, vaginal fluid, and breast milk. SALIVA IS A VERY VERY VERY LOW RISK. Unless someone bleeds all over their crack pipe and then someone uses that pipe... no one is going to get hiv from it. So passing out pipes is only promoting the use of crack.

  • @montanasosa21 It doesnt promote the use? It just gives crack heads a free pipe... THeres no kid who gets a free one and says "AHh i need some crack now"

  • LOL! Needles is one thing but I don't know about crack pipes.

  • @jxsilicon9 Do you know how they make crack pipes? They use a broken test tube or broken antenna. Those can cause cuts inside the mouth. Is this a stretch? Sure. But it's an easy precaution to protect against BBPs.

  • I wish to punch shilo murphy in his fat face.

  • Nice. Hopefully some of these black crack heads will od and make the world a better place.

  • Comment removed

  • @DemonicGemini Ha, ha. You're such a pussy. Go cry faggot.

  • AHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

    they exchange dirty needles to prevent the transmission of blood borne disease like Hepatitis and HIV. Crack pipes only transmission vector would be for respiratory diseases or for cold sores(herps). And for that it doesn't matter how clean it is, it's just who you are smoking with THAT SESSION. Cissakes.

    Duh X 20??

  • Yep the world is going to shit. Since crack is smoke, you must also get AIDS from smoking weed too.

  • huh?

  • lol this is just a publicity stunt. Free crack pipes... what? He is just trying to get some dumb-ass to donate money. I still love my city but damn, seeing crap like this makes me feel a little less better than everybody else.lol

  • Fluid exchange.. thats how HIV spreads.. the virus is in a low dosage in saliva and dies when dried. the heat of the pipe would dry it out faster...

    more people are likely to have sex when they are on crack, thus this SPREADS the virus..

  • that's sad. My brother is a homeless crack addict in Seattle. I wish people didn't support such a thing. With a free crack pipe, now all you NEED is some crack.?!?!

    :p (that was sarcasm for idiots) Police don't help either, they bust crackheads while all the dealers run free, treating the symptom but not the cause of the problem. Have you ever heard of them busting a big crack dealer in Seattle? NEVER It's not blacks growing this plant & making cocaine but black users fill the jails.

  • the people who give these free crack pipes and needles are friends with the drug dealers and are doing this shit under the guese of preventing HIV. People who advocate this shit are just like the Handicapper general in that old sci-fi novel.

  • no wonder this crackhead came up with such idea.

  • Sometimes the best intentions are the worse ones. This is an example of that.

  • i dont want people who advocate this bullshit to have authority over me

  • Hmm... Didn't know AIDS was contracted through dirty crack pipes. You learn something new every day.

  • Ive done some research ... they also pass out free condoms to the prostitutes, which also reduce spread of diseases... and also its nobodys busness what they pass out because they are being funded by private donations meaning no tax dollars ... LET them do their thing it DOES make a difference In my opinion ...

  • 1st view the fact tht you cant spread aids from smoking from somone's pipe never slowed this man down lls

  • this is racist

  • @dragonter yes it is...yet they will call you and me a racist if we disagree with it.

  • Subscribe to me, fuckers!

  • And the International Award for Completely Missing the Point goes to....

  • @SnarkLicker LOL! i know, right?

  • That's ridiculous.
