Maine Supplying ‘Boofing’ Kits, Helping Addicts Stick Drugs Up Their Butt

I don’t want to live on this planet. I read this, so you have to read it as well.

According to The Maine Wire, taxpayers pay for boofing kits, which help addicts safely squirt drugs up their butt:

Maine Access Points, a taxpayer-funded nonprofit based in Bangor, as well as the city of Portland’s city-run needle distribution center are both offering extensive how-to guides and — even anal injection kits — to help drug users squirt narcotics into their anuses.In Portland, the “Portland Public Health Boofing Kit” comes with a needleless syringe and an informational flyer explaining the proper technique for putting drugs up your butt.

I guess it cuts down on needle sharing? It looks like that’s not the approach Maine takes. Instead, give your lungs and veins a break:

According to the flyer, boofing is an alternative way to use drugs if your usual injection sites are no longer viable or your lungs need a break from freebasing.“If you are struggling to hit a vein, or would like to gives [sic] your lungs a break from smoking, boofing is a great option to do your drugs without using a needle or a pipe,” the city of Portland flyer says.The taxpayer-funded boofing supply guide also gives aspiring boofers this tantalizing tip: “Compared to smoking or sniffing your drugs, boofing may hit harder or faster.”

Get me off this planet.

The Maine Wire staff visited Portland to confirm if people received free boofing kits.

Yup. People get a kit and two free doses of Narcan, the overdose-reversing drug, and fentanyl testing strips.

The booking kit contains:

  • Two anal injectors
  • Six packets of lubricant
  • Some sterilizing wipes
  • Two tins for mixing a rectal cocktail
  • Tags: Fentanyl, Maine
