At what point did I say I hated the rehab facility? This isn't "well technically..." non-sense. I don't hate the rehab facility. Where did you get that from?

I know from a fact that Vermont has a massive problem with heroin too cause my cousin lives up there. It's also a pretty wealthy state.
OH's assumption that the rehab probably exists because there was already a drug problem isn't strange at all. That's how it usually works.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the question, but why would a given place be more likely to have more per-capita people on drugs than another?

Not sure how that relates to botson's issues but the demand for perfection is making change impossible here.

Well, people are pretty stupid when they have no need to be responsible for anything. I love the town I grew up in but they pulled the galaxy brain move of closing the homeless shelter for reasons, but we all knew they thought it would get rid of the homeless people.
The level of outrage that occurred when the homeless then used the public library for the bathroom would have been funny if it weren't so hostile. You have these small-c conservative who champion the market and logic all the time, and then can't wrap their head around the idea that legalizing drugs would eliminate innumerate drug-related problems we have in the US.
