The US population is nearly 5x of the UK, has a much larger area and perimeter, and is more wealthy (7.8x total GDP, 1.3x per capita). This no doubt makes drug trafficking not only easier, but also much more profitable in the US vs UK. It would also appear illicit drug use in US is more prevalent than in nearly every other country. Edit: I'm not sure how relevant this is to what you posted, but figured I'd bring it up because I think it's an important thing to note in the general conversation.

The figures above where scaled to population, the actual US population (according to the wiki source) was 2,121,600 vs. UK with 83,014 - the GDP is honestly pretty even per capita though the US probably suffers from worse wealth inequality[1] although the CIA factbook says that both countries have ~15% population below the poverty line - so many that's not really a factor. 1. https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/fields/221.html https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/...
