That comment struck me too. Perhaps there is a difference between Opium overdose and Opioid overdose?

When I think consuming opium, I conjure images of old chinese artwork where they are smoking it in a hookah type instrument.

The Opioid overdoses are mostly Fentanyl and other extracts from opium. I'm not an expert, but if I am understanding correctly, it seems easier access to Opium which may be, according to the GP, hard to OD on, would reduce the Opioid OD epidemic.
