I agree with your second point that graphs like these are not enough to disentangle the impact of the drug policy, but it is also just not as simple a story as 'drugs legalized, overdoses went into a lower regime.' My guess is the real story is that drug legalization does lead to fewer drug ODs, but it is simply swamped by fentanyl.
