India, yes drugs exist here and yes I have had them. But for a country of 1 billion+ you will very rarely find articles about people OD'ing the way you do in other countries because that culture is not here. It is present in few specific states like Punjab but not a country wide thing.

Wow, less than 5% of Indians even use alcohol. Quite a different culture for sure.
