From my standpoint, you are likely to get arrested with him (I have a friend caught doing exactly what you are describing and she just got a YEAR in prison - no Xmas dinner this year) or robbed or shot in a drug deal gone bad.
You are also not helping him, you are enabling him.
If you want to help him, then leave, never give him a dime, do not talk to him, and let him crash and hit rock bottom. Just MHO.

Let me add that your car may also be impounded and if you let him use your car, it's also likely going to be used to transport stolen goods at some point in time.
If you are intent on sustaining the fantasy that your love and support is going to cure him, minimally take some actions to protect yourself. Don't let him use your car. Don't drive him. Don't give him the keys to your house. Protect your money, ATM and credit cards. And seriously consider extra precautions when it comes to birth control/ STDs.
None of us would be here if all it took was our love and support to cure them.
