Pretty crazy that spiked drugs are still "overdoses" when it's clearly poisoning by whoever mixed them. It's attempted murder, not that prosecution would lead anywhere. It's demonizing the user instead of the supplier.

E: I guess manslaughter if the cook didn't know what they were doing, but didn't deliberately mix something in. In the case of fentanyl, it's very deliberate, though.
