I made no argument, actually -- I simply asked to see a source that corroborates your affirmation that "rich kids = more potent drugs = more likely to die from overdose"

If, in fact, people of lower economic status are more likely to die of overdose, those who aren't a member of that population are undeniably at lower risk. They are not at zero risk, of course, but their risk is lower when compared to the population as a whole.

If you want to address a problem, the first step should be understanding the problem and sorting out the facts from hearsay.
