Legality is just one reason. There are many.-
Reason 2: opiates poured into the population via healthcare system for some reason (because pain bad, lobbying good)
Reason 3: People who are drug addicts have universal healthcare, whereas I'm guessing a lot of drug addicts are lacking good insurance in the US. Not the people who have taken overdoses are rejected from the emergency room in the US - but preventive care, free treatment for addiction, regular health checkups etc. are probably less common among addicts where they don't have universal healthcare.
