Most drug use in America is opioids and meth both of which have higher rates of addiction.
Colloquially I don't think most people would refer to 70% as a 'vast majority' or 30% as a 'tiny subset.' But if the GP meant 30-50% (when factoring in other drugs) as a 'tiny subset', then I guess we don't disagree :)

- boomboomsubban 3y agoA quick search shows my personal definition of "vast majority" and "overwhelming majority" may be reversed. I would consider overwhelming>vast, so 70% is fine for vast but apparently I'm wrong.
