Watched a documentary about drugs in the USA recently: Life of Crime 1984-2020 (worth a watch) and at the end it said "1.3 million Americans died in all the wars ever fought by the United States. More than 5 million Americans have died from substance abuse since the start of this documentary in 1984" Scary numbers and I think that with the whole economic situation it isn't something that will improve in the near future. As always some people are making a fortune out of the misery of others and no easy solutions for these issues that I can see. Also I don't agree this is a uniquely US issue, it is happening in other places but not on the same scale, yet.
