This is a typical conversation I have with homeless people outside fast food places or gas stations. There are also the "homeless" people at every highway exit ramp that drive a moped home every night. Oh and the "homeless" couple who park their 2018 extended cab in the Walmart parking lot everyday and hold signs at the entrances until they are handed a few hundred dollars for groceries. I guess they shop at whole foods because they promptly leave.
IMO do homeless deserve some small luxuries? Sure. That does not include drugs, alcohol, and tobacco though. Those are likely a large part of why they are homeless. So donate or volunteer at a shelter. I use to work with habitat for humanity (hand up not hand out). Offer food. Don't hand money do the fakes or the addicts. It won't help.
Do you abstain entirely from caffeine? Do you never have coffee, tea, or cola? If not, that's hypocritical and if so, honestly good for you, I truly with no sarcasm am happy for people who can get through life without any psychoactive substances, I sincerely wish I could, but nonetheless, you have some non-drug equivalent, don't you?
