Leaving your private residence and giving alcohol or weed to a kid has the consequences of a drunk or high kid in most cases.
Depends on how much alchohol you give them. If you give a 16 year old a fifth of evervlear and he chugs the bottle he can die.

Depends on how much heroine you give the kid. Heroine doesnt instantly kill people.

People driving under the influence of heroin would also lead to many deaths
Again, making the argument that either it and alcohol should be illegal or legal. Not one or the other. You dont get to pick and choose which drugs you think are safer on society. That's the point.

but the actual effects of the drugs themselves on a person.
Have you ever seen an alcoholic?

Completely disagree. And that's your point?
Alright that's it for me. It's been fun.

First off many homeless are insane. But in the early 80's the state run mnetal health hospitals were shut down, so the ones who would be in there are on the street.
Secondly the VA sucks, many other homeless are PTSD vets who couldn't get a job and reintegrate. We really really dropped the ball on the Vietnam Vets.
Next, many others are drug addicts who can't get it together because they live to take drugs. They need to be put into a center or treated.
I would rather take all the money we put in Iraq and whatever else we do in the sandbox and try and fix the problem with homelessness.
I hate seeing a city with so many abandoned houses and so much land and still see tent cities under the overpass.
