You are correct, but I don't think we can ignore the massive drug abuse problem, that has progressively gotten worse over the past 50 years, and especially 20.
I would argue that the rise in drug abuse is a consequence of societal issues - not the cause.
In my experience many people use drugs. Those that abuse drugs almost always had existing problems prior (mental health, destitution, a sense of hopelessness, etc).
