Opium and Heroin are not nearly as lethal as Fentanyl.

Plus there is probably a cultural difference, China and India might have different outlets for desperate people down on their luck.

    That's a rosy view of both China and India.

    Not necessarily a good thing. In some places people might choose immediate suicide instead of numbness and addiction. Not saying this is the case in China and India, just mentioning that dealing with pain doesn't follow the same rules in every society.
