Here's a paragraph from quora:
Firstly, there’s a major wealth inequality problem here. Despite the massive amount of rich folk residing in the sunshine state, there is also a huge population that lives close to the poverty line.
Secondly, the accessibility of drugs. You see, Florida used to be the pill capital. People came here from all over the country to stay for drugs or to visit pain clinics, which handed out pills like candy. The drug pushers would fill their vans up and head out to sell drugs across the country.
Or they’d get arrested and stay.
Combine this drug problem with a lower income class that is vulnerable to addiction, and bingo, you have insane drug-related behavior.
There’s an old phrase about Florida, “Came on vacation, left on probation, came back on violation.”
