It's a sign of a social problem, but perhaps "people are stealing cheese so they can buy weed" is not the same social problem as "people are stealing cheese because they are starving". The solution of "why not give starving people cheese" doesn't sound nearly as good when it becomes "why not give druggies money to buy drugs?"
Of course, the two aren't mutually exclusive. I'm sure cheese is being stolen for both reasons, in this economy.
