    Scotland is the drug capital of Europe,over a thousand deaths related to drugs this year alone,and only now are the government have actually done something about it by opening g a safe environment and are giving out diamorphine to injecting addicts,Sweden and Portugal have been doing this for years and the crime rate dropped 95% overnight so it's got to be a good thing,answer to your question is poverty,and people use illicit drugs to escape from this
