It's an interesting argument she's trying to make:

Basically she's arguing that because studies show that people in lower income areas. Often highly population dense urban areas (which is often ignored in those studies). Are more likely to die from overdoses of an unspecified drug that somehow rich kids are less at risk.

I've had a rich kid, who has since died from drug use, explain that to me once before.
I am sure these studies are of little comfort to that family.

Yes people who have 'nothing to loose' tend to engage in riskier behavior.
I just lost a friend last year much along those lines - in his case his risk was scuba diving.
He was pretty well off and it all fell apart, and whether it has really fallen apart or you just think it has, is really irrelevant once you go too far.
