Because I don't live in a country where drugs are rampantly abused like a past time? It's a good thing you know?
How's the weather is make believe land?
Drug abuse and drug use are not synonymous. Most people who use drugs use them as part of their life and don't have dependency issues. So who cares if they use them
What country do you live in?
Been 3 hours and he still hasn't answered lul. Bet he Googled it and found out it is rampant.

India, yes drugs exist here and yes I have had them. But for a country of 1 billion+ you will very rarely find articles about people OD'ing the way you do in other countries because that culture is not here. It is present in few specific states like Punjab but not a country wide thing.
You mean the culture of reporting and talking about it, right?
Wow, less than 5% of Indians even use alcohol. Quite a different culture for sure.
You're country is missing out then. Drugs are a key aspect of the human condition.
