Boston’s crack pipe distribution strategy sparks backlash as ‘methadone mile’ crisis persists
Fox News
Boston introduced a needle exchange initiative that would include the distribution of free pipes that could be used to smoke crack or meth, worrying business owners.
- Molly Line joined Fox News Channel (FNC) as a Boston-based correspondent in January 2006. She serves as a rotating host on FNC’s FOX News Live.
"Why are we giving them pipes? Are you kidding me... it’s like giving them needles," laments Gerry DiPierro, whose construction company sits right next to Boston’s derisively nicknamed "methadone mile" – a sprawling homeless encampment where addicts openly use drugs.
"I can give you a hundred needles I pick up all the time, what’s it doing? It just makes it the central zone to come get everything."
