I thought from the headline that it was in the prescription drug supply.

A lot of this can be traced back to the government. They started forcing doctors to prescribe pain medicine or they could be sued by patients. At the same time they approved oxycontin claiming it was less addictive because it supposedly lasted 12 hours instead of 4. So millions of people got hooked on oxy before the government did a complete reversal and started going after doctors for over prescribing pain meds. Now doctors are afraid to prescribe pain meds and millions of people are cut off over the years. At the same time this is happening the government leaves our border open to be flooded with cheap heroin and fentynil. They went after Purdue for billions of dollars. Purdue's partners in government received no punishment.
