I know about it... especially in LA. However a lot of this is as a consequence of having less safety nets for people and wealth inequality. I hate socialism and communism as much as anyone but I do think there has to be some sort of balance or you end up with what you see there. If you give people too much of a safety net there's no incentive to work. Not enough and you end up with people that just had some sort of blip of misfortune out on the streets losing everything.

This is why people here call you a liberal. Only a liberal would start talking about inequity.

Used to be if you wanted to eat or have a place to sleep you got a fucking job. If that job wasn't cutting it you did what you had to do to get a better job. People have been doing it for years. Wealth inequality. Get the fuck outta here with that shit.

Not what a strawman is, but whatevs.

Let’s pretend we both follow the same grammatical rules and talk about alcohol. Its recreational. It has certainly put people on the streets.
Is it really the “drug” you have a problem with “creeping into neighborhoods”

The drug putting people on the streets ( or out here it's in the woods) isn't weed.

Dan knows this, he was just being an ass.

There are legitimate medical uses for it, but you're also not wrong

Every medicine has side effects. In this case weed has THC which is a mild form of acid that kills brain cells. There is a reason they call it dope.

Well really I'm a Christian conservative... I'm not overboard with the wealth inequality thing - I don't like socialism. At the same time I don't think society is great with 99% wealth in the hands of the king while the serfs tend his land either (at the other extreme)

Your initial comment was about weed gummies.

Ok.
Then I wrote a different comment. The one which you were replying to. The comment you replied to was a question about alcohol. That’s how conversations work

Here are the cliffnotes

You: weed doesn’t put people on the street
Me: what do you think about alcohol
You: weed doesn’t put people on the street

You guys are 0 for 2

You asked him about it maybe. Later than the post I was replying to.

Weed doesn't even belong in a conversation about homelessness. The two are pretty much unrelated.

I'm not getting into the weeds about government corruption ( which is what THAT is actually about). But I don't know too many people tending anyone's land other than their own. You don't either.

Let me put it another way. I've told you and everyone here enough about my self as a younger guy. If I can manage to keep myself fed, housed. protected and adequately entertained, so can everybody else.
 
Then why did you bring up weed gummies in a conversation about homelessness?
You should have lead with the booze, but you fucked up and led with weed gummies instead.
Now i guess we'll spin around in some circular conversation that i'm not looking forward to.
