Unless I'm mistaken, the article says drug overdoses is a leading cause of deaths in that category. 1) That's not THE leading, necessarily 2) only 70% of those drug cases were from fentanyl.

It's a hell of a drug and a hell of an epidemic, but if my reading is correct, let's keep headlines more accurate.

That's not the correct headline.

The first sentence says "Drug Poisonings are a leading cause of death for Americans ages 18-45, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)."

You can dive deep yourself into the data showing causes of death: https://wonder.cdc.gov/controller/saved/D176/D374F608

The title does not seem to be supported by the article.

Title: “Fentanyl poisoning is the #1 killer for people ages 18-45”

TFA: “Drug Poisonings are a leading cause of death for Americans ages 18-45, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)… almost 70% of these deaths were caused by fentanyl and other synthetic opioids.”

What's the DEA doing about it? not the right things...

Drugs would like to extend a warm thank you to prohibition, for helping drugs win the war against drugs.
