In addition, the county Health Department said in a statement, it will be distributing “bubbles” and “stems” or glass pipes for people who smoke methamphetamine or crack, as well as “snorting kits” for those who inhale drugs.

The reason for this is fairly simple, MCHD laid out matter-of-factly — fewer people are looking for clean needles to use drugs intravenously, particularly as fentanyl becomes more prevalent than heroin.
