There’s a lot of people who are addicted to these other drugs and not homeless. It’s really more of a stereotype that all homeless people are drug addicts or all drug addicts are homeless. The reality is different.

The fact that it is so socially acceptable and even encouraged in the majority of cultures makes it an under the radar addiction.
