Original Note:
"cocaine laced with fentanyl" implies intent. Lacing something is deliberate. "contaminated" is a more appropriate term here. Police often claim without evidence that fentanyl is being added to cocaine deliberately. It is much more likely due to cross contamination. https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/fentanyl-cocaine-how-contamination-happens-735155/
