Actually I can confirm that it is, most cases of "tainted" or "laced" issues that exist are the drug users error not tampered drugs
I haven't reviewed any data, but I believe this as well. At least in the case of cocaine and fen. I could see heroin, or other opioides being laced with fentanyl, but I don't see how it would be profitable or desirable for a dealer to lace cocaine with fentanyl.
I could definitely see drug users bingeing and using both within a close time frame though.
It's like when people get strong pot and think someone laced it with coke. Like a drug dealer wants to put expensive drugs in your cheap pot. Why would a coke dealer degrade the cocaine by adding an expensive drug that reduces the stimulant aspect? They would be degrading their product and be making it more expensive at the same time, not to mention killing their customers.

I am not going to spend anymore time arguing this, however I will say this. Many users are using both drugs heavily. And in fact use it quite often at the exact same time.
It's their life. I watched an episode of Drug Inc. where the guy (drug dealer) laced a couple of his doses with high (overdose) levels of fentanyl... to intentionally create an overdose situation - it made his product more desirable because word on the street was that it was more potent and they always attributed the overdoes to the victim not being able to handle it. (I don't think it was cocaine he was selling - maybe Molly). It's just a crazy world that I can't relate to.

Ohhh now I'm curious - how exactly can you confirm this?
He must be working to confirm as we speak.
Edit: ah, topfiverecords, you speedy sonofagun.

Chung got arrest for coke usage from his house in New Hampshire.
Criminal records are not great for border crossings.
Like all crimes, it doesn't have significant ramifications until you are caught.
Try getting across the USA border with a cocaine conviction.
If a team wants to dump a poor performer bad contract that is a regular coke user does not seem to be that hard of a setup to get them caught. How did Mike Richards get caught at the border?
Really bad for growing the game if the NHLPA comes out and says that a solid portion of their association is using a schedule 1 narcotic.
You addressed my point in exactly one line of your post, and the answer to that is - since when does the NHLPA worry about growing the game, or the rep of the NHL?
And even if the NHLPA doesn't make that point, the player might. And the team would rightly be concerned about it.
Lets just say this before people speculate. I knew nothing of this world and would not know anything about it, if it weren't for what I did for a living. Which by the way is not selling drugs lol.
How am I credible is what you're are asking, which is fair
Well yes, but my skepticism extends well beyond that. I find it extremely unlikely anyone could have such a definitive dogmatic answer about this particular nation wide drug phenomena, especially when most acquired data points would be primarily anecdocatal from unreliable and confounded subjects.
