Tragic consequences of cheap "meth": more meth consumption and more meth overdoses

The illegal drug meth has been getting a lot cheaper, due to technological "progress" in manufacturing.  I have been telling people this for a while and that the tragic consequence will be more overdoses, but most people are under the (false) impression that drug overdose reflect only deaths of despair rather than a movement along a stable meth-demand curve as a result of increased supply.

Now the evidence of additional meth-involved overdoses is coming in.
