It doesn't make sense to compare deaths inside a structure that allows human rights versus regime which puts its citizen on gulags. I mean, dying on meth addiction is bad, but it has more to do with the individual agency than dying in government labor camp.
yes daddy, plz teach me how the CIA didn't smuggle cocaine to be turned into crack for the lowest income families in the US, to be used as a defacto population control because the system has exploited them for so long that they have no chance of upwards progression and are stuck in a poverty cycle that makes drug abuse so much more prevalent..
but sure keep on believing in the individual agency myth and ignore the massive impact the environment has on human and societal development
