What bullshit is this?
Fentanyl was and is a prescription drug? Both IV fentanyl in a hospital setting and patches were around much longer than fentanyl contaminated street drugs.
Like what? Obviously you can get it from a pharmacy. It‘s an extremely important drug to reduce endless suffering in healthcare.
Maybe you are thinking about fake prescription drugs like supposed Oxycodon Tablets not containing any oxycodon but rather fentanyl?
But they are made by the same guys that sell heroin and fentanyl contaminated heroin.
They just press it into pill form to dupe people into thinking they are getting genuine OxyContin tablets or whatever.
If you get fentanyl from a pharmacy, you are likely suffering from terminal cancer, or another extremely painful condition, and on your way out.
Hey you can even get lollipops and nasal sprays with fentanyl, made for breakthrough pain. Because they only last an hour. For when you regular around the clock opioid pain medication isn‘t fully keeping the pain in tolerable ranges.
Also guess what: there‘s drugs much more potent than fentanyl that are legal prescription drugs! Omg how could that be?

I thought fentanyl was basically the limit of opioid power.
Why would you (you the patient or you the pharma company) want something stronger? Just take more? It's still a teeny tiny bit of actual substance.

Because those opioids don‘t just work on one linear scale.
The duration, etc also vary.
And just giving more increases he non opioid receptor mediated side effects.
Plus you wanna painkill elephants as well.
