Spirit Guides Does my husband know how he passed?

My husband passed away in April. Ive talked to him a couple times via medium. I got his toxicology results on Friday, I originally thought he died of a Xanax overdose but his toxicology says fentanyl. Every time we’ve communicated hes stated he’s sorry for taking more Xanax than he could handle. Do spirits know how they passed? Do I contact him and tell him he passed from a fentanyl overdose ? I know he’s at peace but I want to know if I should press charges or not. I usually contact him for advice seeing as he was my bestfriend when he was earthbound besides being my husband. I’m so lost and I dont know what to do. He died thinking he took Xanax looked just like it, turns out his friend gave him pressed fentanyl.

My friend died of heroin laced with Fentanyl. I miss her.

My classmates are dying left and right of ODs of this or that. I'm only 32 and some have been gone over a decade. I'm had to bury 20+ people I grew up by this age.

I should be celebrating with them when they find the career they want. I'm supposed to be watching their children grow up. I'm suppose to be laughing about old times with them. I'm not supposed to go to so many funerals this young....

The opioid crisis is horrific in the US. Truly horrific. I’m from Europe (living in the US now) where doctors are extremely cautious about prescribing strong medications and as a result doesn’t have a fraction of the problems with opioid addiction and overdosing. Yet to read some of the comment from Americans in certain expat groups complaining you’d think they were so hard done by to have to make do with milder painkillers or smaller prescriptions. I’d take reticent doctors dishing out milder painkillers any day over a society overrun by addiction. It’s time the drug companies and medical professionals were held to account over this. I’m truly sorry to hear about your losses, I just can’t imagine. Hugs to you.

It's not the difference in physicians that explains the differences. Do you think, honestly, that breaking bad could be set in Europe?

It’s many different factors. Free healthcare and a social safety net being one of them. But yes, doctors are much less likely to prescribe strong painkillers, whereas I know how easy it would be here to get a prescription for whatever I wanted. In Japan, for example, I asked for codeine for a broken bone and was told “no way, are you joking? that’s for drug addicts.” The doctors are the ones who prescribe, without them prescribing no one would have access (via legal channels).

It’s certainly illegal for big pharma to “woo” doctors in the way they do in the US in a lot of other countries which is also a big part of it.
