Without fail, every time there is a thread on substance use there's always people who say shit akin to "Ah, they did it to themselves, they deserve it, etc."

You would be correct. > The number of preventable deaths in the United States increased 16.1% in 2020 to 200,955, an all-time high. A 34.4% increase in drug overdose deaths helped drive this record high. A total of 83,558 people died from drug overdoses in 2020, also an all-time high.
