Even if they are using it for drugs or alcohol I’m not sure that is more morally reprehensible than half the crap I spend my money on? I try to ask myself if there was $10 on the street who should get it? Me who is not in need and will spend it on luxuries, or the person who is need but I suspect might spend it on luxuries. I can’t help but feel I should give every time.
