I am not an expert but the overdose problem is not just about purity/concentration. Even ibuprofen has nasty effects over the long term.
"Overdose deaths involving prescription opioids have quadrupled since 1999,1,2 and so have sales of these prescription drugs.3 From 1999 to 2015, more than 183,000 people have died in the U.S. from overdoses related to prescription opioids.[1]
