- noisy_boy 1y agoJust taking America as example, 1910 has 92 million people Vs 345 million or so today. Also with modern means of transportation + spread/speed of manufacturing of illegal drugs + capture of the political class by corporations including pharmaceuticals are sufficient reasons for that statistic to be not surprising at all.
- BobaFloutist 1y agoIs that including legal prescriptions or just recreational use? Because taking a once daily extended release 25mg Adderall is very different from taking recreational amphetamines or cocaine.
