That's one of the biggest issues with the whole thing really. The people who are currently saying "Oh shocking, look at all of the drug deaths" are the same people who would be furious if the SNP started diverting funds from general healthcare/education/roads into addictions services. They'd immediately declare it waste of money and insist that other issues are more deserving. Spending big money on trying to tackle substance abuse isn't popular in the UK... it never has been.
