no, i don't. those kids will just do that on their parents dime if they want to do it. its the kids who come from poverty, abusive homes, alcoholic and addict parents that if they end up with nowhere to go and nothing to do, they can always forget their harsh reality with a steady supply of government funded altered states.

This is a program for the people who are already down and out and who commit crimes everyday to feed their addiction. It's a two-pronged problem. Do you have any better suggestions?

no, i don't have any better solutions but supporting what mostly likely made them homeless in the first place, i just can't see that as helping much. maybe it would, if like you said they only supply people who are known to do such things and not just hand it out to everyone who is on the street but to me its about as effective as giving someone who is depressed prozac. it won't fix the reason why they are depressed, just mask it for the time being.
