Reply to comment by silverfoxmode in Race and ethnicity appear to play an important a role in the link between psychedelic use and mental health outcomes by chrisdh79

What precisely is the strain of government dependance? I hear of people with nice 3 bedroom apartments in the projects for sub-1000$ a month and they lived there their whole life since 18. Ive been living at my parents in a tiny house while i get my degree and save for a massive down payment and id kill for that

In most situations you just don't walk into a HUD home like that , there's months, yrs on a list trying to find something. While still trying to verify an address being homeless to even collect a food card. In any government system there is going to be abuse of said system. The people you know are lucky. Most are already in a dysfunctional single parent home. Many only wish they could pay their own way and further their education like yourself. Your statement is that stigma they face . I've been there , blocks of cheese powdered milk . Watching my mother kill herself at three jobs just to meet the reduced rent .The government wasn't paying our bills just giving us a break on the rent. We hated it. It was our dirty little secret. Empathy is a rare commodity these days . It's always what about me. Trust me it's no road you'd want to go down .
