It's a tiny fraction of even the trauma category... if you are really concerned with the drivers there are better govt solutions than gun control. Food control, mandatory exercise, tobacco and liquor prohibition... etc.

I seem to remember, drug ODs are the cause of EMT problems, along with the common cold , you know, folks bringing their kids in for uninsured treatment. Either pay or suffer.......

If we're trying to change the focus and highjack the thread, incarcerating folk for weed costs the taxpayers a lot of green (pun intended), and tobacco related illness also way up there.
