There are a lot of "homeless" people that are scammers. Really effective scammers make close to six figures, tax free; while drawing welfare, free medication, childcare benefits, etc. Based on how freely opioids are prescribed, they're probably selling a portion of those too. It's ~10/pill for generic oxycontin. Some patients are getting 400 pills per month plus a slew of other narcotics. I worked part-time in a pharmacy in a not so nice area where 95% of the clientele were odsp recipients. Most were morbidly obese. Generally disgusting people.
