legalization of weed is the worst decision IMO that not only affects the healthy life span but also intoxicate the next gen.

how does cannabis affect healthy life span?
Unfortunately, theses 'lifespan' measurements have a lot to do with violent crime, car accidents, suicides, war deaths etc. - i.e. things that aren't so much about health than otherwise.
It's why average lifespan isn't necessarily a very good measure of health outcomes.
I think US is down due to overdoses, which is a kind of health issues, but not necessarily a regular measure of diet and quality of regular medicine, it's an epidemic.
