This looks like a good step, but no one ever mentions the underlying cause of drug use. The simple fact is that happy people don't use drugs. The vast majority of users are doing so because they have experienced trauma or have other issues.

We need to figure out how to give people the support they need so they don't have to turn to drugs. The best way to end widespread drug use is to stop creating more users.

Happy people also use drugs. Drug use permeates every strata of society. Some people use drugs to escape life. Some people use drugs to enrich their lives.

Happy people who got injured and took the massively over prescribed medicines they were given became junkies. In most cases of opiate addiction these days started with a doctor.
