The 'Joe Biden Crack Pipe Handout' meme originated in early 2022 following reports regarding a $30 million federal grant program for harm reduction. While the program aimed to provide safe smoking kits to reduce the spread of diseases, conservative media outlets and social media users quickly reframed the story, claiming the government was actively distributing drug paraphernalia. This sparked a wave of image macros, photoshopped images, and political cartoons depicting Joe Biden as a street dealer or overly generous benefactor of crack pipes. The meme is primarily used to critique government spending, satirize federal policies, or engage in partisan political commentary across platforms like Twitter, X, and Reddit.
