I think journalists must all be worried about looking like they "know too much" about drug stuff because even the shortest article contains basic errors. The lowest hanging fruit:
Adderall is not an opioid
Fentanyl is an opioid. If something has fentanyl, it isn't "fake opioids". It is opioids!
got there eventually
Probably just made to edit their own copy on the fly. It's easy to get an error like that when you're chopping and changing sentences.
I don't think people realise how much subeditors contribute, but the lack of them is having a real impact on quality.
That said, maybe the journalist just doesn't know the subject matter.
