> drug use if you are part of the homeless population.

Maybe. homeless are the main issue, rather than drugs?

Like if I had to choose between regular cocaine habbit, and bein homeless, i'd rather be a cokehead.



Meet people that have have done a lot of drugs? Some can still function. Others, just can’t. Had an owner of a successful tech company see it fall apart because he couldn’t make decisions anymore.

Was a really nice guy, but by the end I might hire him to sweep the floors, but only with supervision. Not sure how he’s doing now, but I imagine he’ll be homeless by some point.

He enjoyed going to burning man a lot.


I am not endorsing drug use at all, but I have seen highly functioning drug users. I have never met a homeless man that could still function after being on the streets for a year.
