if you've got money to give, yea. maybe they literally do just go buy drugs with it. maybe (most likely) they don't. maybe they already have drugs and they buy food or a cot. $5 or $50 isn't going to solve their problems or turn them into a model citizen. but neither will ensuring that they starve or freeze.
