This is one of those cases where I think we should treat the symptom (first) rather than the problem. Teach them basic pharmacology, dosage calculations, and give access to free test kits to know how strong the stuff they're about take is. This doesn't solve any societal problems at a grander scale, it doesn't improve the mental health of teenagers, and it won't eliminate overdose deaths entirely... But it will save the lives of some children who haven't had a chance to really live their life in the first place. It will give them time to look for help they didn't know they needed.
