        Hand them enough drugs, and you have handed them a job!

          Then they can barter drugs for food, shelter, etc.

            In which case, if the concern is that high, just don't give money to the homeless. Consider just giving food directly. No reason not to just hand out food.

            Oh come on, @Dashrender can be more tin foil hat than that. Food is a form of currency. They will trade it for booze or drugs..

            Exactly! - LOL

            I really do like the card idea better than cash.

              Now if only my local retailers (grocers) would carry these would I not feel bad about having to decline giving a homeless person money.

              Once before though (and not directly to me) a homeless man asked a women for cash, she handed him food and he went on a rampage saying"B**** I asked for money not food! etc"

              So there's that....

                That type of behavior deserves a swift punch to the throat. No reason to restrain yourself from a violence when accosted by a useless crackhead.

                  I once had a guy on the street ask for money for pot. So I gave him $20. Figured if he was being honest he deserved it.

                    Interesting idea, but it is going to need to be in a lot more places for it to actually work. Even the homeless are not stationary.

                      Should I start a thread asking for a server? 😉

                        What good is pot going to do on a server?
