    It’s a pretty bad stigma. I regularly pluck homeless who are hanging out at the gas station. i tell em to get what they need for the day and something later. I have to Tell them to get smokes and or alcohol…like Bruh/Ma’am I have to follow societies bs rules all day and while i don’t Smoke or Drink. Fucking hell i know why people do. and if i was homeless…id like the occasional chance to escape my reality or take the edge off. especially when they are literally the most unprotected segment of society. teenagers regularly get locked up for murdering homeless people. societies dark underside has people who are smarter than einstein but pressed so far down they cant bloom…

      Also, it keeps them warmer than we as a society do. Just let them have an escape, they lost everything already.
