    In the medical field, they’re starting to refer to deaths due to adulterated drugs as ‘poisoning’, rather than ‘overdose’. The implication is that people are merely trying to get high, but because of a lack of safe supply, their drugs may contain powerful narcotics like fentanyl, it’s effectively unintentional, not a deliberate attempt to consume too much.
