No i don’t think drugs are a result of hardships in life. There are many people that have come to canada from war torn countries like syria and don’t turn to drugs. If it was from life traumas then we would have a serious drug problem among our paramedics.

Tell me, since you seem to have all the answers, what "poor life choices" were made when someone had a terrible injury, was prescribed serious pain killers by their doctor, followed their doctor's and pharmacist's instructions
to the letter, and nonetheless developed a chemical addition to opioids. You gonna blame the victim there, too?
Opioid addiction isn't the same as cocaine or heroin where someone made a first bad choice to get high. The fentanyl crisis isn't just affecting the homeless and downtrodden, so-called "street junkies" who it's easy for someone like you to overlook and show no empathy towards. It's also affecting many people much like yourself: professional working citizens with good jobs, good homes, and good families, people who would never consider using recreational drugs.
