Don't spread misinformation. Thhis is from the 2018 Alberta Opioid Response Surveillance Report

Confirmed drug poisoning deaths
Among all confirmed drug and alcohol poisoning deaths (accidental and suicide) in 2017 and 2018, opioids (fentanyl or non-fentanyl) were directly involved in 78 per cent of deaths. 22 per cent of all confirmed drug and alcohol poisoning deaths (accidental and suicide) did not involve any opioid.
Multiple substances are often used at the same time as opioids, including fentanyl. This may be a result ofan individual using multiple substances including opioids, or through the contamination of drugs with opioidssuch as fentanyl.
In 2018, 77 per cent of accidental fentanyl related deaths listed at least one other substance as contributing to death, the most frequent being methamphetamine and cocaine.
