Aside from the role of unethical opiod producers and marketers (which to be fair does fall under the umbrella of unregulated capitalism) weren't there plenty of preceding examples in Russia and even the USSR with first deaths by alcoholism and then later infamous krokodil deaths? The latter is more small scale addict enterprise even if it is again not exactly regulated capitalism. The point being that the system isn't the direct cause even if it allows it.

The US must be doing something wrong with a lack of regulations in this industry, and the only common factor is unhinged profit-seeking.
