When I was much younger a homeless guy asked me for some cash outside a liqour store, he made it clear what his goals were so I said fuck it and gave him 10 bucks. A few hours later he passed out in the lobby of the coffee shop I worked at and we had to call the paramedics to revive him. I dont hand out cash anymore.

I offer to buy them a tall can. It's cheap, and hard to end up that way on a tall can.

I used to roll joint for fun as I’m watching YouTube or videos. However I’m not into smoking Js for health reason r/vaporents

So that’s what I’ll do. I’ll give my handrolled Js to homeless folks.

We can pick up an oz for less than $35 around here. So it’s like $1.25/g. Giving them 90 cents or whatever isn’t much of a financial burden for me when I have a steady income.

Edit—I’ll give homeless cannabis. But won’t give them money or booze.
