Is Giving A Homeless Person $ For Drugs STO?

[Black Dragon]

If I absolutely knew the person was going to spend it on a hard drug like heroine, meth, etc. that would continue to facilitate their self destruction(but how can you really know unless their obviously messed up at the time, right?), I wouldn't give them money-I'd send them love and/or talk to them, try to help them in a practical way if that was possible or they were receptive. If not, at least pray for them and send them love.

Barring that, I'd give them money. I always give money to the homeless when I can and the opportunity presents itself. Even if they are just going to go gamble or buy beer or weed or something, whatever. If it makes them happy for one more night of relief in which maybe they can be inspired to progress in life, or if not that at least be comfortable-I'm all for it. If I just have no clue what they will use it for and there's always that off-chance it's something not good for them, I'll still give them money with the best of intentions on my part and leave it to their free will what they do with it.
