[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If a pill is laced with fentanyl, I think someone who mistakenly takes it should be considered a victim of poisoning, not ODing.

When someone ODs, they take too much of a drug they intended to take. '

When someone is poisoned, they are given a harmful dose of a drug they had no intention of taking.[/quote]

I think it’s referred to as an accidental overdose, but I get what you’re saying.  Maybe it would help with the stigma.  It really does seem “one pill can kill” needs to be repeated and publicized heavily among youth.[/quote]

This.    A lot of people (kids AND parents) are not seeing "the pills" as "doing drugs" but as "taking medications", just not through the proper channels.  Therefore,  a lot of parents have the mental block "oh my child is not doing this/not exposed to this" and a lot of youth are not aware of the gravity of what they are doing or consider doing.   100% need a heavy public campaign.
