That's one of the most ridiculous claims I have seen in a while.

If it did, they should be able to prove it with some data. SR shut down in 2013, did they see a cliff of less ODs / deaths in hospitals?

But yea, I believe it is ridiculous as well, but the court needed to voice their opinion with the sentence.

If you want data about damage to society, just look at basically any statistic related to the war on drugs.
