Well, look at the tainted drugs crisis - been going on for years, started with acid and ecstasy, and now it's fentanyl in pretty much anything illegal that can be fucked with (particularly, it seems, the needle-crowd getting the worst of it). And it was back in the news again just after halloween, just in time for the holiday season.
Frankly, it's been looking more obvious that someone has been targeting the hard drugs users since at least 2010, if not earlier (I know tainted LSD was a thing a couple decades or so ago, know a victim of it) ... but if people are still stubborn enough to take their chances, what can you do? We have legal pot now, and that sure seems to have sorted out the real problems from the people who just want a joint with their beer and video games.
What happened with your buddy with the tainted lsd?
He can't eat spices any more. The stuff was apparently tainted with Warfarin, so he has a bit of a tummy. Not as bad as you might think, because he didn't do a Jimi Hendrix like some other people I've known.
These are completely different issues.
Hard drugs have a nasty habit of getting intentionally stronger to the point of lethality because crackheads are crackheads. Drug users are now intentionally taking dangerous levels of drugs under the assumption that a cop with a little Narcan will probably show up because they don't give a shit about themselves.
This is why you don't give out needles, and yeah, you may even avoid Narcan.
Hell it's not unheard of to hear about cocaine laced with broken glass as filler.
This very likely isn't about people trying to kill hard drug users. They're already dying. The issue is about the Left effectively encouraging those deaths by pretending to care.
Thing is, opiates aren't crack and meth. What's happening is that people who aren't opiate addicts are getting the fentanyl, too; someone's been cutting other stuff with fentanyl, and yes, people shoot both coke and speed, not just opiates. On top of the obviously stupid actual opiate addicts, of course, there's more and more of them, it seems, all the time.
And again, even if someone IS out deliberately killing them (and since fentanyl poisoning has been showing up consistently for the past 3 or 4 years, and in the same general region, yeah, it looks deliberate) but they still won't stay away from the stuff that they know is at risk for the fentanyl, what can you do, short of scooping 'em all up and putting them in a camp? By that point, it's just Darwinian selection if they won't stop.
