Far fewer mainly because we have a much smaller population.
After years of SNP rule Scottish drug deaths have been increasing year on year and are now the highest in Europe, so I respectfully disagree with what you say. In Portugal, where drugs have been decriminalised, they have far fewer deaths, despite having more addicts.

Still, it's unlikely the Gorbals will end up looking like this, though.

I think that's got more to do with the climate than anything else.

Maybe the SNP/Green not-coalition will do something about it when they realise that most of them support independence.
I was working in a particularly drug-prone pharmacy on referendum day in 2014, and two methadone clients stood out. There was the guy who'd put all the Yes posters up on his window, but when the day came "nobody told me you've got to register to vote!" Then there was the one who'd been to vote, but was irate that he'd been given a pencil to do so. "I've never voted with a pencil in my life!" he exclaimed. "You know who that is? The English."
Yes, the English rigged the vote by altering the slips with a giant rubber. You heard it here first.
