A cause worthwhile advocating for, but do you think you'll get people to stop saying that society is "sick" if you get it?

Hint; Scotland has both universal healthcare and free higher education and also the highest drug deaths per person in Europe - or close to the highest.




Are drugs decriminalized there? What's their policy regarding policing and public health as they relate to drug users?

Just because universal healthcare and higher education are offered does not mean they equate to drug deaths. That's a bullshit conclusion to draw and likely is a result of many other policy/societal factors.

And absolutely they will say society is sick, but wtf does that have to do with offering universal healthcare and higher education? Of course society will always be fucked in one way or another, but measures should be taken to improve quality of life for all in an attempt to make it more bearable and hopefully would contribute to finding solutions to the issues society faces
