#1 You well could be. Its illegal to smoke within 20' of a doorway, bus stop, etc... in Washington State.

But apparently smoking a crack pipe or shoooting up is ok....

#2 1) It's a volunteer-driven, non-profit effort.

2) "new and unbroken glass pipes are believed to prevent lip cuts and the spread of hepatitis strains. Rubber tips and new filters ward off mouth burns. Ascorbic acid helps prevent users from using lemon juice to dissolve cocaine rocks into an injectable liquid -- a common practice that can lead to fungal infections."

3) Harm reduction. I'm not against it.
