Meaningless. Drug abuse and social/financial deprivation go hand-in-hand, that's both a proven statistical fact and a frankly fairly obvious observation and there is a massive correlation between families (and entire towns) with generational substance abuse problems and those who were worst affected by the sweeping economic reforms and London-centrism of Thatcher's 80's.

"Plenty of people do X and don't Y" is just a complete nothing of a statement. You might as well say "Plenty of people smoke their whole lives and don't get cancer" or "plenty of fat people don't end up with type 2 diabetes". Both statements are true - but it would still - obviously, I hope - be pretty dumb to say "...therefore smoking has nothing to do with cancer and type 2 diabetes has nothing to do with being overweight".
